My goal with this review is to provide anyone sitting down reading this an unbiased look in to my experience here at Ironhack Miami(Full Time Web Dev).
First a little about myself for perspective, I've worked retail for almost 6 years. Although it wasn't my ideal career I learned as much as I could and just always tried to keep a good work ethic. Being a manager there I did learn about the perspective of someone looking to hire, which Ironhack's Hiring Manager Brito does an excellent job of teaching by the way. I did some dabbling on Codecademy to get a feel for coding, and soon realized that it would be a very enjoyable career, after excessively reading reviews here on course report and looking at the average salaries of Web Developers I decided that I need to get myself prepared to make this jump.
I gave the max on all four ratings, and I'll explain why for each.
Overall Experience:
What I was looking for immediately was the work-ethic of the people that would be teaching me. Every single person working for Ironhack had unique qualities and had something even greater than work-ethic - passion, for supporting you and helping you achieve your goal. On my first day there I took a look around, not having any idea that I would miss sitting next to everyone there as much as I do now.
Most people who jump in like I did likely have to quit their job in order to attend. With this decision comes a responsibility to yourself, to never forget that you need to be putting you All in this in order to get what you want. This means that if you want to land a job fast you should not be getting there last and leaving first. The more you put in to this the more you get out(l literally just accepted an offer as an Associate Developer).
I feel like I can create any website that I want, learn any new technology or language that I need, and with the skills learned here alone I ended up with 8 interviews in the 2 days of the Ironhack hiring fair(bravo to Brito again for a truly refined process).
The thing is, I did the Full-Time course because I wanted to be immersed in this. I loved coding and being here was like being in another world where I just wanted to stay and keep learning for ever.
In my opinion, if you don’t think that you can dedicate yourself to getting as much as you can out of this course then you should consider two options: The part-time cohort which yields just as great results, Or….hope your current career magically becomes much more fun in the next couple months.
Curriculum:
The course material was more than enough, you could follow it word for word and achieve the goal of that lesson. From some past reviews on here I've read complaints of misspellings and outdated material and Honestly, these few minor misspellings do nothing to deter you from learning the material and in the world of technology there will Always be outdated material because there is always new technology!. One of the most important things I believe any programmer needs to know is how to open a new tab(1 second) and google the issue at hand(depends how fast you read). The teachers and TA's will often do this in front of you so you know exactly how to do it.
Your days start at 9 AM sharp in the classroom, you will spend some time learning a new concept or skill. Then comes a coding challenge(all provided to see whenever you want). Some of these coding challenges will be done in pairs, regardless of if you want this or not it is absolutely necessary in order to learn required skills.
After lunch, another concept is learned or if the previous concept was a bit troublesome there will be a review to clear up some questions. This is followed by another coding challenge to cement that knowledge in.
By the way, I can bet most of you trying to teach yourself at home likely have not added very much to the all to relevant Github. Github will be like second nature to you in just a couple weeks, and it will be filled(hello jobs).
There are 3 projects done throughout the course. I’ll let them surprise you because it is a very personal learning experience that allows you to identify your own flaws, and crush them with the help of the Teacher, TAs, and classmates.
Instructors:
Nick(teacher), and the TA's Marcos, Ian, and award-winning Sandra, are indispensable and amazing people who have helped me through tough, time-intensive problems, and taught me unforgettable lessons that I will continue using forever. I highly suggest you think of your current teachers in the same respect, and I say this with confidence regardless of your cohort because of Ironhack’s dedication to hiring passionate and hard-working people who want to give you as much knowledge as they can.
Something that I quickly caught on to with our instructor Nick is that you should follow his thought process just as much as the skill he is teaching you! I felt like I was getting to sit there and watch how a real developer works through real bumps in the road. Essentially I feel like I now understand how to approach every day coding issues like a pro, his teaching style is natural and realistic. Sometimes he would just look something up to figure out the syntax even if he knew it already(don't underestimate him with this, it's for you).
Job Assistance:
I interviewed with 8 companies in two days during Ironhack’s graduate hiring fair. The process was very well-done and was immensely helpful. I felt strongly about many of these companies, but was still urged to keep applying to companies on my own through what we’ve been taught. So two weeks after graduation here I am, It took about two weeks after graduation to get hired. This is realistic if you approach this course with your priorities in the right place. I generally got there an hour early to look over the current days lesson or even just to have a coffee and relax. 4/5 days of the work week I stayed until atleast 7:30PM, making sure I understood the lessons of the day, refining the work we did in class, or helping/being helped by classmates and Teachers(important),
Brito will give you life changing knowledge and tools during the hiring week. Heads up, when he drops some knowledge on you at any time before the hiring week...remember it or write it down ! You will receive training on how to approach interviews, how to approach and interact with professionals looking to hire, and also how to realize your worth in this industry that is hungry for the skills you have just gained. To top it all off he’s well connected because he is very well respected, and his connections and friends are also amazingly skilled people who are likely going to be your guest speakers.
