4-week primer (Great!)

Review of the 4-week primer course in HTML, CSS, Javascript:
I chose Nucamp because of the cost (lowest in the country) and the reviews I'd seen on Youtube and other places. While Nucamp is probably a bit thinner on the substance than it probably could be, Nucamp has a fantastic online format and platform. The instructor I had was fantastic and made herself more available than expected. It could've been a bit beefier in material and expectation, but overall this is a GREAT choice for learning to code. I highly recommend Nucamp, especially to people who are a bit skeptical about whether they should even be in a code camp. The cost makes it a NO-BRAINER. I learned a lot in the primer course and am excited to start the Full-Stack Camp next. The only encouragement I have for Nucamp is to make the course longer and focus on Javascript more. It's a BIG language and we probably should've spent more guided learning time on it, but overall I'm very, very happy with this experience. Count me as a Nucamp believer. :) -

Web Development Fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Great Bootcamp to learn the basics of Web Development. Highly recommend it. The Instructor I had was great and the community is as well. It was affordable and the course material was very informative. The instructor Vince was almost always available to help and worked with anyone's schedule. I look forward to continue to learn here at Nucamp. -

An Excellent Choice
I am very happy that I chose Nucamp; after completing the 4-week "Web Development Fundamentals Bootcamp, I am going to demonstrate this by enrolling in Nucamp's "Full Stack Web + Mobile Development Bootcamp". I think that you will find that dollar for dollar, Nucamp is an excellent choice. -

MY instructor was very helpful and the camp was very easy to work around my already existing schedule. I am looking forward to the Full Stack course I will be taking in July.
The Saturday workshops were a great experience and not too crowded. Questions were answered as soon as they were asked, and the instructor took time to make sure we understood what we were doing. The instructor didn't teach us code, as in much how to find the answer and what questions to ask, which is important. The instructor put a focus on ease of use and learning how the coding worked as opposed to memorizing, which makes it easier to learn. -

Great for beginners! One of the main reasons I chose NuCamp was the price point and the amount of great reviews i was able to find. If you put in the time to actually learn the curriculum you will love this.
The price and the amount of time you can get on the weekends with the workshops is great. -

My Nucamp Experience

My older brother had talked about it around me. I had been struggling to find some interests for college and my future. I thought taking this class was a great way to put myself out there and try new things. It is definitely a challenge, but I think it is a challenge that was worth it! I gained a lot of new knowledge from this course in just the 4 weeks. I really enjoyed getting together over the weekend to discuss the rundown of the week, working together on the final week assignments and getting to know new poeple from different areas. -

I have really enjoyed working through the front end portion of the Full Stack bootcamp, and am looking forward to completing the remainder of the program. It's been a challenge, but also very rewarding. The support has been great, with an awesome online community, and I'm also glad to see that there is new content coming soon. Keep up the great work, I would not have been able to enroll in a bootcamp if it was not for Nucamp's business model. Thanks all! -

I chose Nucamp for three reasons:
(1) Because of the flexible schedule
(2) The guided instruction
(3) The Price point
And I like the help from the Instructors as well as the community in the form of the forums. -

Great Alternative to Traditional Bootcamps
Read more Read less of Zach Beckwith's review
I chose Nucamp because it was the most cost-friendly and job-friendly bootcamp available. With it only being online (for the time being) I'm sure its not as engaging as other bootcamps which are predominantly in-person. However, the instructors seem to be very knowledgeable, the curriculum is challenging and everyone seems to want to help each other. So Nucamp is the next best thing to in-person bootcamps. -

NuCamps Bootstrap Course
Fasten your bootstraps because its time to get muddy! You'll hit the code "boots" first with NuCamps Front End Development Course. Learning all about Bootstraps helpful pre-made components and styling classes. Also there is some introduction into Javascript to get you ready for their React & React Native Course too! -

Nucamp Bootstrap course review
Read more Read less of Avery's review
I chose nucamp as I saw how cost effective it was and the skills I wanted to learn were in the course curriculum.
Each lesson in the Bootstrap course is concise and is taught very well which helps build skills along the way, taking me from no knowledge of Bootstrap to being able to read documentation and begin building my own landing page for a portfolio project.
The integration of instructors and students across all cohorts in the slack channel makes for quick responses and an awesome community! -

I chose Nucamp because if its online-based nature, good reviews, and flexibility when it comes to time. I think it was the right call, as I was able to adequately balance my work and private life while also learning a lot of the things I've been wanting to learn for a long time. I've already signed up for the full stack bootcamp to follow up the introductory bootcamp with, and I'm looking forward to it. -

Web Fundamentals
I chose NuCamp because of its low price point compared to other boot camps and being able to do it after work/on the weekends. It was a good experience, learned a lot, and liked that for any things I was confused about during the week the instructor would be able to help during the weekend workshops. -
Ben Catley
Web Development Bootcamp
I liked the hands-on and collaborative learning in the workshops. I also like the Fair Student Agreement. Taking the Web Development boot camp is a great starter for the Front-End and Full-Stack bootcamps. -

Challenging but you WILL LEARN!

I chose Nucamp for the affordability and flexibility of schedule and I'm pleased with my overall experience in the HTML CSS and Javascript Fundamentals class. I went into the class with nearly zero experience but I've finished feeling like I have a decent understanding of these basic technologies.
I had a small amount of exposure to Javascript through a free app called Grasshopper prior to the course. This free app basically familiarized me with some of the terminology in Javascript and how variables work, along with the idea of functions within a computer language. So I would have considered myself a newbie+ maybe? HTML and CSS were brand new to me.
Wow, did I learn a lot in four weeks! It is not easy and I recommend staying on track with the syllabus; maybe a day ahead if you can. Even a procrastinator like myself was able to do this and here's why:
The course structure is deceptively simple and very elegant. It does not feel like you have a ton of work to do....therefore you don't feel a dreaded overwhelming-ness. (I don't think that's an actual word, but anyone who struggles with this issue will understand.) Once you get to the lessons, you will soon learn just how packed with info they really are.
Not a word is wasted in the video tutorials. I watched them several times to help myself fully comprehend the material.
The videos are voiced by a very pleasant and easy-to-follow instructor whom you hear and can follow along with in writing if you choose. Typically everything is in writing below the videos, which is great if you learn best by reading!
Each video is between 2-12 minutes for the most part. It's very well thought out, but you WILL be using your brain and thinking a lot. You will not be spoon fed every answer. The assignments require your full efforts and by applying yourself, you will TRULY learn the material. You will also be much more apt to retain it.
Tips: Stay on top of the material...don't fall behind. Catching up is possible, but not recommended. Why make it harder on yourself? Also, don't be shy about asking for help, but do try and exhaust options for a solid 20 minutes before asking. This is something Nucamp explains and it will make more sense when you start your class. Your instructor is available during the live sessions on Saturdays and via messaging systems within the Nucamp platform and Slack. If you are unfamiliar with Slack, it is a portal/forum for working and collaborating. It's extremely useful! -
Andy
HTML CSS JS Fundamentals
I chose Nucamp for the ability to choose when I apply myself to coursework, the subjects studied and it's competitive pricing.
Our instructor was very knowledgeable and was always available anytime we needed help. Overall, a good course for anyone looking to explore web development. -

There were a few reasons that I chose Nucamp over other bootcamps that I came across. They are as follows:
Number 1 was that its format is geared towards those who have full-time responsibilities such as work or school. Lectures are completed on your own time during the week and it all really comes together during the Saturday classes with the instructor and fellow students. Other bootcamps out there require that you quit nearly everything to participate in their training on a full-time basis and if they have part-time options, they are fully booked for many months out. With Nucamp, you can begin your education almost immediately.
Number 2 was that Nucamp is highly rated and has high reviews from those who have gone through their training. After a few attempts at other base courses, I took Nucamp's Web Development Fundamentals and can attest that the reviews are well founded as it is by far the best training that I've received.
Number 3 was the cost which is quite affordable by comparison to other options out there that are easily 10 times the cost. This shows that Nucamp is truly committed to its mission of making coding education accessible and affordable to everyone.
Number 4 was that they have scholarships available that make an already affordable education even more accessible. As a military veteran, I was glad to see that my prior service was recognized and made me eligible to receive the Warrior Rising scholarship.
The knowledgeable and effective instructor along with a positive and dedicated group of classmates made my experience all the more worth it. I fully plan to continue my education with Nucamp's Fullstack Web + Mobile Development track and am very glad to have found this bootcamp as I believe it will 100% enable me to reach my goal of becoming a developer. -

Great experience and value!
Signed up blind with zero coding experience, came out of front end with a huge new set of skills WHILE working a regular full-time job. Ready to tackle a dev job and love the community I’ve joined with Nucamp! -

Web Development Fundamentals
Nucamp definitely exceeded my expectations! I choose Nucamp because of the price, but I was overwhelmingly surprised by how much I learned and how well I learned it. I have been studying on my own for years now, but finally I feel like I understand what I was studying. I highly recommend Nucamp! -
Emma
Web Development Fundamentals
This is a mid-life career change for me. :) I looked at several bootcamps but chose Nucamp because it seemed to offer everything I was looking for at an affordable price: flexibility, transparency in pricing, and opportunity. After taking the web dev basics, I am going full stack! My instructor is great! I highly recommend Nucamp. -
Alex Nina
Affordable and well developed for an introduction
Nucamp was a recommendation from a classmate. I've been a technology professional for over 10 years, and I've had the opportunity to work with programming before, but I decided to start a bootcamp to acquire knowledge in web development. It was a great introduction, with many important tips, that I would take a long time to discover if I had decided to learn it myself. -

Great for Beginners

I took the 4-week web dev intro course. I felt Nucamp did a really good job of pacing the material so that we learned new concepts every week but were not overwhelmed. The hours of work required to complete it are very reasonable, and the instructor was available a lot for office hours and workshops. It was a good balance between self-directed work and group work, and I felt that all of my questions were answered. The price is exceptional compared to a lot of other online-only courses, and I've signed up to complete the full-stack web development course next. -

HTML, CSS, JavaScript
I have thought this was going to be so hard for me to understand since i never thought or being in IT or at least try it. At first it seems so hard but once you get together with your instructor and class mates it makes it more easier to understand. I'm a mother of three boys and have a full time job working from home, so making a routine around school was tough had to miss a day or two but my instructor worked with me and was great about it. I really liked learning and being in this bootcamp it helped alot with anxiety and now I'm ready to start the full stack. -
Niko G
HTML, CSS, Javascript Fundementals
I chose Nucamp for the price and flexibility that was not offered by others. The projects were enjoyable and really ramped up in terms of difficulty when it got to Javascript. The Saturday workshops helped solidify the subject matter that we self-studied during the week. -

Just Finished First Nucamp Course!
Read more Read less of Joe Consolino's review
I just finished my first course, Introduction to HTML, CSS and Javascript, and it was awesome! I was hesitant at first because I usually benefit more from in person lessons/lectures, but for the price I went along and tried it out. For someone who has a very small history with coding I found the course to go at a very pleasing pace, not too fast and not too slow. On saturdays the lectures are a great way to rap up what you have learned in the week as well. All in all, I am looking forward to registering for the full-stack one and I would definitley recommend nucamp as a bootcamp to anyone looking to try one! -

NuCamp is the Boot Camp for You!!!
Read more Read less of Stephanie M.'s review
I knew that it was time to advance my career, I love working in project management but my heart was always yearning for the opportunity to engage in more technical aspects specifically software development. But honestly, I didn't know exactly where to start, do I go the traditional computer science route via a university or take a leap of faith with a reputable boot camp? I hopped onto "Google University" and instantly became overwhelmed with the available boot camp options and there I stumbled upon Career Karma which was the game changer for me! Becoming a part of the Career Karma community kept me focused, provided daily motivation, and most importantly, I had the opportunity to learn more about various reputable boot camps on a first hand basis. NuCamp was frequently mentioned by current students and/or recent grads of the program and their reviews were stellar. During Career Karma's 21 Day Challenge, I purposely reached out to students from various boot camps to include several who were or had attended NuCamp. They raved about the program, the structure, the instructors, and most importantly, many felt it was the best decision they could have ever made for their future especially for those who were completely new to coding. Based on student reviews, program flexibility, program structure, and affordability, NuCamp was the best and only option for me!
Fast forward, I'm happy to report that I finished my four week web fundamentals course and didn't realize one could learn or be exposed to so much information over such a short period of time but we truly just scratched the surface which means there is so much more ahead as I continue this exciting transition into the world of technology. If you're reading this and looking for a boot camp that is manageable, affordable, and dedicated to your success, you should enroll in NuCamp because the career possibilities are endless with their support! -

Great Experience!
I chose Nucamp because I heard good things about the bootcamp, plus they were flexible with my schedule as a working adult. I learned a lot during the fundamentals bootcamp, and can't wait to start my full-stack bootcamp in two weeks. -
Albert
Web Development Fundamentals
I took Web Development fundamentals and it was definitely a great learning experience. Sometimes the material can seem overwhelming but our instructor Kevin did an amazing job at explaining and bringing everything together on the weekly workshops. Nucamp is affordable and well worth it. I plan on taking Full Stack next. -
Nikita Teel

Web Dev Fundamentals 4 Week Course

I thought that overall I received what I expected from the course, which was structured learning. There are many ways to learning coding that are free online, but it is helpful to have a structure and accountability that a class provides. I had studied some coding previously so I was familiar with coding fundamentals going in, and this was very helpful as the second half of the course on Javascript may be very difficult for someone with no exposure to data structures. I would recommend keeping this in mind if you choose to attend any bootcamp. The more you study in advance, the better off you'll be during the course.
I think the course is a good value compared to the cost of some bootcamps out there (that's another big reason I choose it. I already have student debt and couldn't imagine taking on anymore). The class is taught in a hybrid format, so during the week you learn on your own and on Saturdays meet with your instructor and cohort. During the week, you have access to support on Nucamp's Slack channel. Depending on the type of learner you are, this may or may not work for you. Because I knew I enjoyed coding and was self-motivated, I really enjoyed the hybrid format because it gave me flexibility during the week to allocate time the way I needed. That being said, if there are other demands in your life or you're not sure you're committed to coding yet, the hybrid format may be difficult for you.
I researched bootcamps for months before choosing Nucamp so I understood that a bootcamp alone would not be enough. I think that anyone considering this course should be aware of that before signing up. I practice coding on my own and use supplementary materials in addition to Nucamp. I heard that this is true of most bootcamps, simply due to the time constraints, you really have to put in the time on your own to master it. Please keep that in mind if you are considering the course.
One of the big things i liked about Nucamp as well is the transparency. While considering the course, nobody from Nucamp tried to "sell" the course to me (while other bootcamps, when I signed up just to see their syllabus, were very aggressive in calling and emailing me). The people at Nucamp were simply honest about what they offered and that spoke to me about the type of learning environment they had built.
Nucamp is really what you make it. I plan to continue my study with them in the Fullstack bootcamp. -

Come for the price, stay for the education.
I chose Nucamp for the price, but the instruction and material were excellent.
