Awesome course
Nu Camp provides a great learning environment. The instructor dedicated the time to ensure you understand the material. Classmates and the Nu Camp community were available when help is needed. The structure of the course gave me flexibility so I could still balance my personal life. Nice introduction to code. -

BootStrap
I chose NuCamp because of the cost and the flexibility offered by the hybrid class format. I like that the weekly assignments and code challenges all build on one another to prepare you for the weekend workshop. Also, as someone who is just starting out in coding, I really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere set by NuCamp, and how accessible the material is and the instructors. -

Encourage your coding skills
I'm happy with my progress during these 4 weeks. It gives me enough courage to move forward and follow the next steps of the Nucamp - Full-Stack. If you need to make a decision you could be a developer and enjoy coding go for this bootcamp! -

I think overall, NuCamp was great! It is advertised as a beginner's course, which is true to some extent, but I feel like the way the material is presented is for people who have had exposure to the material beforehand. A lot of the people in my class had never even seen or written a line of code before starting. A lot of the self-work lessons are very shallow and you are expected to do a lot of research outside the classwork on your own to even figure out what some of the concepts presented to you are.
I know that sounds really negative, but if you did the work, it was a great experience. Anton (my instructor) was very knowledgable and helped out whenever he could! -

Nucamp Web Dev Fundamentals Review
The Fundamentals bootcamp was a detailed, supportive introduction to web development. The instructor was excellent, and I enjoyed pair programming during the workshops. I also admire Nucamp's commitment to affordability and flexibility. -

Great School
This was the best camp I've been through! I went through Lambda and was left to drown But at NuCamp the staff and students were all very helpful. I am confident I can move forward in my my code learning with NuCamp. -

Great BootCamp @ a Great Value!!
I chose Nucamp for the flexibility and the price. I really liked the Saturday workshops. I feel that is where the most retainability to your learning comes into play. I was impressed with the value of the course. I have enrolled in the FullStack Developer because of this fundamentalA -

Web Developer Bootcamp
Price was important because I am currently furloughed and Nucamp's price was the most competitive that I found. Once I connected to the website, I found the layout and coursework beneficial and presented in a manner that facilitated learning. -

HTML, CSS and JavaScript
The HTML, CSS, JavaScript course was really helpful as I was able to catch up on my coding, be in a structured environment with colleagues while being part of a really good Bootcamp. -

Full Stack
I enjoy the experience so far with Nucamp and I am glad it is available where a full time worker like me can still learn many things. I chose NuCamp because the price is right and the teaching methods. -

Fundamentals Bootcamp

I chose Nucamp because it offered a fundamentals course, allowing me to gauge whether I'd like the material and methods of presentation before committing to a full bootcamp. I was very happy with the fundamentals course and learned a lot; plus, it was a low-cost option. Although I can't compare it to other similar courses, I was very satisfied with what I was able to take away from this. The structure of the weekly curriculum and the four hour zoom class on weekends was perfect for me, easy to stay on top of, and the presentation was compelling and interactive, so I never got bored or checked out. I plan to move on to the Front End Bootcamp next. -

Nucamp was the most affordable coding school I could find in my budget range. The online weekly lessons were easy to follow and assignments feedback really helped me. I world definitely recommend Nucamp to someone who has a busy work and family life. Plus the low cost, you can't beat that. Full-stack, here I come. -

I chose Nucamp because the price was very reasonable. They claimed they could teach me to improve my web development skills and they delivered. I have already used some of the things I've learned in the real world. -

Great bootcamp!
I chose Nucamp because it offered a great program at an affordable cost! I just finished my Web Development Fundamentals bootcamp and I’m very happy with my learning of HTML, CSS and Javescript! Great instructor too! -

Found Some Footing
I would recommend Nucamp to anyone who is a true beginner in the web development world. I literally started this course with zero knowledge, and the terms and practices that I learned here were foundational for knowing how to do basic function, find more information and take my work in a direction that aligns with my purpose for knowing how to organize and bring life to a website. -

Great Experience
I really enjoyed my learning experience with Nucamp. The content is challenging, and the instructors are eager to support students learning. It was a healthy mix of challenging myself to figure things out, while having the support from peers and instructors. -
Dale Mabilangan
HTML, CSS, Javascript Course
Bootcamp was good for learning the necessary languages to get into the field. Instructor was always available when needed and took a lot of time helping students when they needed her. The instructor also learned along with the students and helped them solve an issue she doesn't know herself, but she went out of her way and researched them herself to help the students. -

I chose NuCamp because it seemed like the right combination of self-training combined with instructor-led training. The weekend instructor-led workshop was perfect for me as a working professional. -

A great experience

This is a review for the four week introductory programming boot camp.
My long-term goal is to learn how to build enterprise-level websites (webapps) using modern languages and methods. Building websites is something I really want to do (I have a ton of great ideas but can’t afford to hire a developer.)
I had three goals for this bootcamp: 1. to get more experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and 2. See where my skills would need to be to successfully complete the 22-week full stack programming course and 3. Get career advice from the instructor on my long-term goal.
I am pleased to report Nucamp exceeded my expectations. If you want know how specifically, read on.
The biggest challenge I’ve faced over the years trying to reach my goal is coding does not come naturally to me. Some folks get it right away, I don’t. I have to work hard at it. (Some programming snobs have told me not to try, but I don’t listen to them. Never have, never will.)
Prior to this course, I have learned enough HTML and CSS to build a simple website from tutorials on the web. I also started learning about JavaScript. Last year I took a C# class a local community college to learn more about programming. However, C# really didn’t help me get closer to my goal of building websites or help me become a full stack developer.
However, that instructor was able to give me more information about the languages I would need to learn to develop modern web applications. I chose Nucamp as the next step in my learning, as my research showed that the most popular websites in the world are built with JavaScript, React, MongoDB, Bootstrap – all the things Nucamp teaches. That was one reason.
My second reason for choosing Nucamp was I liked the format of the classes: you spend the week watching videos, doing code challenges and then come together on Saturday and work together as a class to code a project.
I’ve tried classes without an instructor before (Udemy) and also read a lot of books, but I’ve always preferred working with a group: it keeps you going and it’s great to have an instructor when you’re stuck.
I decided to start with the four-week class before attempting the 22 week full stack program, and I am so glad I went this route.
Just as I hoped, Nucamp did a great job in designing their instruction: the videos and class lectures were very precise and clear, and there was no extraneous information. The code challenges we did in class were key to understanding and using what we had read about, and the project we all did together on Saturday was extremely challenging, but do-able.
My instructor was instrumental in helping me finish the code challenges, and when I didn't finish the week 3 exercise in class on Saturday, we zoomed on Monday to work on it together. That was awesome. That is exactly the support I wanted and needed.
Even though Nucamp says don't start working on the weekly class project ahead of time, I did so I could spend time reviewing code rather than trying to figure it out on the fly. That way I used the instructor's time to go over the parts of the code I was grappling with, and even did some of the advanced challenges.
I loved doing the weekly projects, and my only complaint (it's not even a complaint, more of a concern) about the course is I wish there were more JavaScript projects that we could do on our own, projects that would get harder and would lead up to the project we did on Saturday. For example, an optional Monday project, a Tuesday project and so on. Watching the code is okay, but building something and seeing it work – no matter how small - is super satisfying. Finishing our project on Saturday and thinking "I coded that" was a great feeling.
Another thing I loved were the resources that were given (W3 Schools was a crucial resource while building the projects) as well as how to use Visual Studio, Chrome developer tools, debugging, using the console etc. I know those are essential for coding professionally.
If you're thinking about this course my recommendation is as follows: if you're a natural coder AND you have the time to commit to a course like this, dive in. You won't be disappointed. If you are not a natural coder (like me) then I would definitely consider reading up on JavaScript – either Google's grasshopper game, a Udemy course, or read a book – as a warmup before taking the bootcamp. Or you can just do it without any prior knowledge, but I suggest you budget extra time for that. You’ll spend a lot of time digging through W3 schools and re-watching the videos going “how the heck do I code that?!”
Even though I finished the course, there are a lot of areas that I want to go back and really master before moving on to the 22-week course. The good news is you get access to course and materials for life.
Overall, it was fun working with the instructor and the group. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and now I know exactly what I need to know to successfully complete the 22 week course. I have a feeling I haven't felt in a long time: I'm on my way!

Very Beneficial
I chose Nucamp because it was affordable, and also meeting once a week online through zoom, and being able to interact with the instructor and other students was beneficial to my learning. -

I greatly appreciated the small group sizes and the encouragement to work in smaller and "larger" groups. The instructor was readily available and adapted quickly to group and individual needs. The material is presented in a manner to introduce topics and show how to integrate and execute them. It does take self study and initiative to expand each of these skill sets to an actual marketable skillset; however, there is a NuCamp community ready and willing to provide assistance. You will get out of it what you put into it. -

Great Experience
I enjoyed the fact that I could work on learning pretty much on my own schedule. The videos coupled with the slides and code examples were very helpful. It was a great way to get my feet wet and start coding! -

Review
I chose Nucamp because its cheaper and I didn't have to commute.
My experience was informative and I gained a lot of knowledge.
The instructor was on point on time during the workshops and available any other day.
I think the workshop hours should be 6 hrs because as you progress there's a lot of material to cover plus the assignment coordination is very helpful. -

NUcamp provides the fundamentals needed to help you set a great learning route. I tried doing in my own and I got caught up on a while loop without a break statement. Learning coding takes longer than what the fundamental course is suppose to teach, BUT it pushes you towards a structure for you to continue. I am attending the full stack along with my sister -

My supervisor highly recommended Nucamp's Web Development Bootcamp since he was a student some time ago and thought it would be helpful for me.
I really enjoyed Daniel's pace and method of instruction. I also thought the students in our class were great, too.
