I'm glad I've gone with Nucamp so far
Read more Read less of Dan Haas's review
I've completed only one part of the 4-part Full-Stack web dev program: Bootstrap. I chose Nucamp because the price was right, the time commitment could be balanced with my work commitments, and it was conveniently located. During the Bootstrap program, we were introduced to many features of Bootstrap and got a little practice implementing them in structured assignments, then a project we could put as much time and practice into as we wished. I put more time and energy into the project than I typically did in the homework, as that's where I felt I was learning the most and practicing my own creativity. I am really pleased with the project I made so far and I think it will be valuable in my portfolio. Overall I'm glad I've gone with Nucamp so far and am looking forward to the next 3 parts of the course. -

I thought that the course was informative and beneficial to future application. I did, however, feel that some of the material/videos were slightly outdated. The instructor was kind and helpful, but I still am uneasy about my JavaScript knowledge. I really enjoyed being able to communicate with other classmates through the Slack Channel; they were a big help overcoming any obstacles when the instructor was not available. I made some pretty wonderful connections and am overall satisfied with my decision to take this course. The flexibility and affordability of this is why I chose to take this course over others. As long as you put in the time and effort to complete your weekly assignments and attend the online sessions - you'll be just fine! It is definitely not easy and is most certainly time consuming; especially in the last two weeks, but it was worth it. I suggest asking your instructor all the questions you have and make sure you take notes! -

I chose Nucamp because of the price. For a total of about $2100 I could get the same education that other bootcamps are charging >$10,000 for. Overall my experience in the intro to HTML, CSS, and JS course was positive. My instructor Mike was great and I feel like I learned a lot. However it seems like certain things were left out in the name of brevity. I don't necessarily think this was a bad thing because it encouraged me to go out on my own and find solutions, but I want to be transparent with my review. -

I chose Nucamp because it fits my schedule. I have 3 kids and responsibilities at home so the fact that all the material is online and is sent out scheduled makes you focused on what to do in that week. Every Saturday we meet with the instructor and go through all the topics and have workshop assignment that wraps up everything for that week. The tuition fee is also reasonable. It is a good way of transitioning with out changing your life up side down. -

Nucamp was the only viable option I found to have interactive class time without quitting my full time job. The HTML, CSS & JavaScript track was exactly what I needed to dip my toe in the water and see if I was truly interested in learning more about development without either a HUGE financial investment or sacrificing my current job. It was a fairly intense month but gave me enough incite to know I want to pursue the full stack curriculum.

NuCamp Tacoma Review
I chose NuCamp because of the location, cost, and the physical class times being on the weekend since I work 40 hours during the week. Them being able to take money out monthly is the only way I could afford to do something like this right now.

Learned a lot and the prices are great!
I chose Nucamp because of it's price, the success rate of prior students, and the convenience of the classes being on the weekend. This class has allowed me to continue working full time and learn in my free time. I have been satisfied with the Html, CSS and Javascript class. I will definitely be moving forward with them for the Full-Stack program. -

I only took the fundamental course but this is great for those that are not able to attend a traditional bootcamp. In most traditional bootcamps you're required to compromise your job to attend classses, and not having to do that with NuCamp made my decision even easier. Don't let the price scare you away. Yes, the price is only a tenth of what you pay at other camps but this is not a case of "you get what you pay for". You will get great value out of this camp. Classes are small so you will have a lot of 1 on 1 time with your instructor and that to me was priceless. I am ready to take on their longer Front-end Development camp.

Although there are many introductory programming courses/tutorials online that can be taken for free, Nucamp provided an environment where students can sit down and truly focus on their programming and be able to discuss with the instructor and other students.

I looked for a bootcamp in the Seattle area for several months. I work full time, 50 hours a week. I needed to find one that would fit into my life, not the other way around. I almost signed on to another one that would have been more of a financial burden but thank goodness I didn't. The class sizes are great, the instructors are very knowledgeable and my fellow class mates are just as passionate about learning as I am. I am enrolled in the full stack and have just completed the first course. I would recommend this for anyone that is full time employed and wants a great value. If I can do it so can you!

Eden's Web Development Fundamentals Review

I chose Nucamp because it was way more affordable than other coding bootcamps. I was a little worried about it because I thought I would not have as much support. But, I was so wrong about that. My Nucamp instructor was amazing. He went above and beyond in making sure I understood the material. He communicated in a timely manner and would let me know if he was busy when I could expect a response. He thought me how to think and didn't just give me the answers. He was encouraging and helped steer me to resources so I could learn where to go when I had a question. The lecture videos were also great. They were bite-sized which helped me take in little bits of information at a time. They built upon each other in a way that was easy to follow. I did feel like some of the assignments were given without the full information needed to complete them but I think that was purposefully so that we would learn where to go to find the rest of the answers. The lectures gave enough of a foundation to complete each assignment generally but they would throw in a challenge question and that would require a bit of research. As someone who had zero knowledge of coding going into this class, I feel way more confident in my coding ablities!

Nucamp Bootstrap CSS / Full Stack Review
I chose Nucamp because it worked well with my work schedule and low cost yet it didn't sacrifice when it came to curriculum. I really enjoy the weekly Saturday group Workshops and all of the hands-on lessons during the week. The instructors are well informed and always looking to help and answer any questions you may have.

Nucamp review!
Nucamp gave me my first look into the world of coding, and did I pretty great job at walking me through the basics/technicalities of things I knew NOTHING about. They make learning comfortable for beginners and those who may have some experience. Whether you're trying to find what's for you, or hone what you already know, Nucamp is the place for you.

Nucamp: Intro to Web Development
Read more Read less of Mike C's review
I chose the course because it works with my work schedule and was very affordable. Toughest challenge was staying focused after a long work day but I definitely now know more then when I started which is great. As an intro course this isn't going to make you the worlds best coder over night but it will help you start to understand the basic structures of coding on the front end side of web development. In terms of Javascript it does start to get difficult but we all start somewhere so it makes a lot more sense which is something I really enjoy. Thank you Nucamp!

I researched a lot of bootcamps. What made me finally decide on NuCamp was the cost and the time commitment. Quitting my job to do a full-time bootcamp was not an option. Spending $10,000 for a bootcamp was also not an option. I also like that there was a weekly in-person workshop. I just finished my 5th week at NuCamp and it's been working out great. The instructors are excellent. The work load fits my schedule. The Slack community is large and active and provides a forum for asking questions and connecting with other students. Overall, so far my experience has been positive.

I chose Nucamp because I was interested in getting into Web Development. The only experience I had with code was MySpace and that was about 14 years ago. Shaun was a great instructor who really communicated well with his students and took time to check in on each one of us, especially during the workshops. His feedback on our assignments was very helpful. I definitely have way more knowledge now than I had before thanks to Nucamp.

Nucamp
I had chosen Nucamp to be able to work with people in person. That didn't up working out and I had to take the online course. I'm disappointed there but the content was sufficient and I feel like it helped me really get started. I learned what I expected to learn and I feel more confident in the topics I learned.

There are a lot of bootcamps out there. Like most people on a budget, I was looking to maximize the bang for my buck. I found Nucamp, saw what they offered, read what people said about them, looked at the price tag, and decided to give them a shot.
I signed up for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (intro class). Katie (the instructor) was awesome! The class size was small and everyone was friendly and helpful. The tutorial videos/exercises were direct and challenging. I learned so much in four short weeks!
Like anything else, you’ll have to put in some serious effort to maximize it and Nucamp gives you the tools to do just that. Save yourself some money and give Nucamp a try!

I chose Nucamp because I am a single mom wanting to change professions, but my time needs to be my own. Sometimes I am working into the midnight hour to get things done after the kids go to bed. This camp allows my the ability to make my own hours and work from home.

I preferred nucamp since it had an in-person weekend workshop. But by the time I have registered for the full stack course, we were not having the in-person workshops because of fewer participants in the Raleigh area.
I was hesitant a bit in the starting having no in-person workshop (but had an online workshop every weekend) but really loved their course structure and the 24/7 instructors/student alumni availability in answering the queries on time. -

As a complete novice when it comes to coding, I was intrigued by what Nucamp had to offer. I was extremely satisfied with both the level of instruction and the interactions with my instructor, Bryan. I feel like I have the necessary tools and am now prepared to tackle the full stack web dev course. I would highly recommend the four week HTML/CSS/JavaScript bootcamp to anyone who has always wanted to learn to code but didn't know where to start!

So the NuCamp courses are great. They are the perfect blend, for working professionals who cannot take time off from work, to join an immersion bootcamp. I especially like how NuCamp focuses on affordability, networking with professionals in the community, up to date technologies, and the night school model. Make sure to set aside time to dedicate yourself to the bootcamp, but it is well worth it.

The part-time cirriculum and the cost were the two major factors for me to commit to Nucamp. Most of us out there cannot consider quitting our jobs to take on an intense full-time bootcamp for many times the price of Nucamp. I also appreciate two specific things about Nucamp: they do not boast about their job placement percentage numbers for post-grads (in fact, they do the opposite and honestly state how other bootcamps inflate these numbers as a tactic to reel in students) and they offer multiple thinking points and a 25-question test for students to determine if they are ready to enroll in one of their advanced bootcamps.

I've been learning web development for a while but this is the most complete program I've attempted. They seem to fill in the gaps that I was missing in other learning modules.

I chose Nucamp because of the hybrid model - in-class workshops and online learning. The content is challenging enough to make you think of what you've learned up to that point and if all else fails, "Google" becomes your best friend.
And last, but not certainly the least, is the price of the overall bootcamp. You really cannot argue that price, especially for the content you are getting taught. I'm glad I made this choice!

Good
Nucamp has been great! I definitely feel like I learned a lot. I wasn't much of a fan of the online videos, but I loved the in-person workshops and the instructor! One critique I might recommend is making the projects more open-ended and allow students to get more creative.

I chose Nucamp because of the mix of online and in person sessions. I wanted the flexibility to do most of the work on my own time and meet to ask questions. My instructor is very experience with 10 years experience in Fullstack development. The other thing that I really like is the price, it is very affordable. I am only five weeks into Fullstack and just got done with Bootstrap 4, I can say I learned a great deal and I am happy with the progress thus far.

Nucamp instructors and organizers were great. Material was well constructed and followed logically. Unfortunately, I was not able to spend much time on my studies due to work schedule. However, still very valuable to get the snippets of information from teach and classmates. Would be better if you can spend many hours a day researching and doing assignments. But I still think you must encourage those with busy schedules to attend. In fact, I have tried other self study courses and this is much better for the busy schedule.

Good experience
I took the introductory html, css and javascript course. The Nucamp program is a good middle path between expensive full time classrooms and online self-taught classes that most people don't actually finish. It was a good program that I can recommend.
