I chose this course for cost and flexibility. The instructor was great! Always available and very helpful. The video series was dry and lacked more hands on practices. Other than the lack of practice, I was very pleased. -

Affordable and Effective Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Nil's review
I wanted to have an affordable and yet effective course on web development which can help me switch my career to the web development domain. And I found Nucamp's coding boot camps are within my budget. Furthermore, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I preferred to stay home and the online delivery mode of this boot camp served the purpose. But unlike any other standard online course, the end-of-week workshops (which were supposed to be conducted at a physical location near to my place but because of this pandemic is happening through zoom meetings) give me a feeling that there is an actual batch that is doing the course together, - we can discuss issues with each other, learn from others' inputs and collaborate on specific tasks.
I already had some experience working with HTML, and related stuff (CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL), so naturally, I chose the advanced boot camp 'Full Stack Web and Mobile Development'. I wanted to get complete knowledge and hands-on experience of both the UI and backend (and database). For those who do not have some sort of introduction to web development, I would suggest either get acquainted with the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript on your own, or take the introductory course before moving into this course.
I am happy that I chose this boot camp because now I just finished the first course (on Bootstrap and JS Introduction) and so far I found that the contents have just the right depth. It covers the right amount of details in each topic with the video lectures, associated notes, and suggestions on additional readings (optional), yet I can sail through the courses with about two hours of study every day - suits my daily schedule. The project work (which we chose based on our wish and can do either individually or partnering with a batchmate) at the end of each course offers a full-circle view and the experience of actually working on a full web development task.
Now, if one asks me if I could learn all these things on my own with completely free resources, my answer would be yes that's a possibility but with low probability. The course lays a structured roadmap and the weekly schedule instills a sense of discipline in me. Think about this, if you do not have google maps, you would still be able to reach a certain destination theoretically, you may also wander here and there, and get confused at certain junctions, but the map tells you which way to go and how far, etc. For me, this boot camp served as my road map. The cherry on top is my instructor in the first course. He is so helpful and I am happy that I got him in my network through this course. I wish my instructors for the upcoming courses would be at least as good as him, if not better.
Regarding jobs at the end of the boot camp, there is no guarantee by Nucamp but it does provide interview prep help and materials for us to prepare for the job market. I researched some other boot camps by other vendors and universities that offered some job guarantee/money back, but I guess in those I had to be open to relocation for the job. But because of family reasons, I cannot relocate in the next couple of years. So that guarantee would have been practically null and void for me.
If you have any questions about my experience of this Bootcamp, feel free to reach out to me. -

Nucamp Review
I chose nucamp after reading a number and good reviews and watching a few videos of people who had gone through the course and found that most of them were able to actually go out and find a job with the skills they learned. After joining i really liked the course structure and my instructors was extremely helpful. -

Accessible, Flexible Coursework

I chose to attend Nucamp because of it's remote course offerings. As a disabled student, flexibility is paramount in my decision making process because sometimes your specific medical needs dictate that you change plans with little notice. I started classes during the pandemic quarantine and loved the coursework and pacing of the lessons.
The addition of training students on screenreader accessibility was also fantastic as I know plenty of blind and low-vision folks run into these issues regularly. My teacher was helpful when I needed help understanding concepts and encouraged me to try new things when I had ideas. If you're considering taking a course here, I think you'd be pleased with your decision. -

Nucamp was the best choice!
I enjoyed learning code online and making my own schedule during the week. The Saturday workshops were awesome! Our instructor was very knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. I enjoyed both working with and learning from others taking the course. I feel I made an excellent choice in choosing Nucamp! -

High Quality, Low Cost
Read more Read less of Calli Oberembt's review
I honestly couldn't be happier with Nucamp. I am still in disbelief with the quality of education for a tiny fraction of the market cost of other bootcamps. My only advice to others is to ensure that you are networking and building your portfolio along the way and holding yourself accountable. This is perfect for folks who need a little extra push and accountability while understanding that job seeking is still a personal journey. I am thrilled with the quality of education, instructors, the community (and the ability to leverage that community on Slack), and the overall culture of Nucamp. I feel confident I will be able to get my first development job after the full stack program. -

Choose Nucamp!
I chose Nucamp because it was affordable and being able to do everything online was very convenient. The best part about the course was the schedule flexibility and the small class size! -

Review For Bootstrap
I chose Nucamp because its very cheap compare to other bootcamps in the states and flexible workflow. I am very satisfied with the courses i have finished thus far. The teaching style really worked really well for me, and I was able to stay motivated with the other students via slack. that really helped a lot! looking forward to React this week. -

I like the fact that Nucamp offered the Java, HTML and CSS program in a vast and complete aspects and the pricing is absolutely unbeatable! Instructor is very helpful and approachable. -

I chose Nucamp as a great low cost way to learn coding at my own pace. I wanted to get into coding, but had no idea how. Others suggested doing free coding lessons online, but for me if I pay for something I would have to hold myself accountable for what I am learning. Also with free online programs you don't get the live face to face/ webcam interaction with an instructor who can answer your questions and help you navigate what you are learning in real time. I have a hectic schedule so being able to take this coding class online coupled with the 4 hour workshop on the weekends is a big win in my book! -

Web Development Fundamentals
Read more Read less of th3hungryd3v's review
I just finished up the Web Dev Fundamentals course and this is my review of that curriculum: First, this course is not meant to make you job-ready Web Developer and they even tell you that in their Open House videos on Youtube. This is mainly to get your proverbial feet wet in reading, writing, and applying code, as well as, to see if this is something you actually enjoy doing. I signed up for this course when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, so the workshops were all done through zoom, online. For $349, you'll have access to their gazillion slack channels, knowledgeable instructors, and other people from your community, even people from other communities! One of the main reasons I chose NuCamp: Budget. I don't have the resources or the funds to be able to afford the other bootcamps I was also interested in. Location: I have my own family and I can't simply have them uproot to move to a different state, just so I can attend a bootcamp. Community: Not only would I get the chance to meet other people who were in the same boat, but because we're in the same state, we could potentially meetup at a local spot to code together in person, outside of the classroom. You can learn everything in this curriculum by yourself for free, but it never hurt anybody to have access to a community and staff on hand to make sure you're learning properly. Before finishing this course, I'd already signed up for the full stack because I'm interested in learning more about the front-end as well as the back-end. This course will prepare you for what's to come, whether it's the front-end web design or the full-stack. -

A great course especially for the price! The instructor was very helpful and made sure you understood the curriculum. -

Bootstrap
Read more Read less of Jay Thomas's review
I have just completed my first class with Nucamp. The class was a bootstrap class. I liked the way the class is set up to work on tasks yourself during the week and then having the live class on Saturday mornings. I work full-time so even though more live class time would be awesome, it just wouldn't work for me. So the way Nucamp is set up works very well. It was nice to break up into groups in the live class and work on a few tasks together as a team. Everyone wants to help each other, which is the way it should be. I can't wait to start the next class and get started learning React. The price of Nucamp compared to other Bootcamps is what made my decision to join Nucamp very easy. So far, I'm glad I made that decision. -

Great for busy schedule

I chose Nucamp for the flexible schedule, affordability, and positive reviews. I wasn't disappointed. The course work was laid out in a way that allowed me to keep up with it throughout the week, even with my busy work schedule. There were times where I felt a little overwhelmed but was able to run questions by my instructor and collaborate with my fellow students. I'm looking forward the full stack course. -

HTML, CSS & JS 4 week Bootcamp!

From the time I decided to jump in and do this -- having no programming experience whatsoever - I thought what a great challenge. NuCamp and its great people including my fellow students made it happen. I have never been so motivated by a learning program that was extremely challenging but amazingly rewarding at every step. I have signed up for the full stack developer program as a result. -

Student review
Nucamp is an affordable option to other coding schools or classes offered at more traditional institutions.
The Fundamentals course is laid out well and the learning modules are easy to follow.
They offer a built in community to help with the process of learning and it's well structured.
It's a great choice for anyone as long as their motivated to learn. -
Susie
Great school Awesome instructors
I picked Nucamp because they understand that attending an in person class isn't feasible for everyone. The small groups of students per instructor was a big factor as well. I highly recommend anyone that’s interested in web development to check out NuCamp. -

Great Investment

I chose Nucamp because of the affordable price and the flexible learning environment. After the four week fundamentals class I'm glad that I did! The material is provided in a format that allows students to go at their own pace and get in as much extra practice as they need. While I was nervous about the Saturday workshops, I really enjoyed getting to know my other classmates and my instructor and working through assignments together. -
Grace Sessions
Awesome course!!!
It was easy to follow. The exercises really helped answer any questions I might've had before hand. My instructor was awesome! -

It was a wonderful experience and I am still catching up. I like the instructor way of teaching and how patient he was. Nucamp is a wonderful school with great instructors -
Vlad Maicaneanu
Bootcamps worth taking
The small class sizes and instructors facilitated easy group work to problem solve the same issues together. Also having access to slack and other resources where groups of people could come together to answer any questions you might have and help you along was monumentally useful, more so than something like stack overflow could ever hope to give. -

Bootstrap
Bootstrap was a great introduction to this bootcamp. I will definitely recommend this to my friends. -
Rachael
great learning experience
I choose this course as a way to refresh what I had learned in the past. The ease and convenience of this class swayed me to chose this course. I really enjoyed the work and it was a great refresher as well as I have learned some new skills. -

Review
I liked engaging in post workshop assignments. The instructor makes sure that everyone fully understands how coding works, even if you have no knowledge of the course. Nucamp is very flexible with part time learning as far as giving assignments and understanding how coding works. -

Full-Stack Course
Read more Read less of Markell Richards's review
I chose Nucamp because I was lost in my independent study, and I needed structure. Nucamp provided that for me at a low cost. Overall I believe the pace of Nucamp was appropriate for aspiring programmers with no experience. Nucamp sets a good foundation for students to build upon. They provide the necessary tools, but it's ultimately up to the students to use them for their projects. I did the full-stack course and was able to finish four different projects throughout the Bootcamp, and some are already published on the internet. Thank you, Nucamp! -
Rhakagi
A Great Program
I enjoyed the Bootstrap course. My instructor was always kind, knowledgeable , and eager to help me when ever I was unclear about something. Having the opportunity to talk to my instructor and work together with other students on projects with new concepts really helps to make the learning experience so much better.
Thanks, Rhakagi -

I Enjoyed it

I had knowledge of HTML & CSS so I mainly took this course for the Javascript learning and having others to talk to for issues and teachers etc..
The reason I picked Nucamp was lets be serious the PRICE. Your guys pricing was perfect for someone like me who is currently works full time, is a full time parent and doesn't have $10,000 to drop on a bootcamp.
I am looking for a career change your guys school worked and helped me out with that awesome!
I would highly recommend people to NuCamp. -

Web Development Fundamentals
Very helpful instructors. Course material was clean and provided examples and other sources for more details. Way better than a much more expensive BootCamp that I recently attended. -
Joshua
Great Bootcamp
I chose Nucamp because I wanted to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript relatively quickly. I think they did a great job. It is online learning, but the instructor is there with you every step of the way. Class sizes are small, so you get to have as much face time with the instructor as you need. You definitely get the most bang for your buck! -
Marco Olivera
Worth it!
This was a really good introductory bootcamp and I definitely learned a lot in this 4 week time period. I'm looking to moving forward to the next stage and continuing this learning journey. -

The instructor was very knowledgeable and if I got stuck she was able to help me. The class was intense and a lot of info, but if you spend the time learning the info it was well worth it. -

I just finished the Bootstrap course. It was great. The course work instructions are easy to follow. It was nice to have my instructor and other students I could reach out to if I was having trouble. I enjoyed meeting with my classmates(via Zoom) every Saturday. You should definitely have some working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JS before you start the Full Stack boot camp. I'm looking forward to the React and React Native courses. -

I am glad to join Nucamp!

I was looking for affordable programming boot camp without compromising the quality of the course. So, one day Nucamp popup in my facebook and I looked into reviews given by people who have attended the program and decided to join the program. I am glad that I decided to join Nucamp, where I have learned many things that I wouldn't learn by myself or just by purchasing some online courses and study by myself. I love the exercises provided to supplement the course and some of them are a bit challenging which helped me to solidify my understand. I have enjoyed all the Saturday workshops where I clear up things that I vaguely understood (thanks to the instructor) and also the opportunity to learn from my course mates. Now I am looking forward to continue with Nucamp to join the full-stack web development course. -

I chose Nucamp because I wanted some extra structure, deadlines, and access to the help of an instructor and other students as opposed to just learning online on my own. This was an affordable option for doing so, compared to other super expensive bootcamps. I liked the structure and gaining tangible skills that I can use right away to build my portfolio. I also appreciated the additional resources/reading provided in each module to give me a bigger picture. -
Christian
Why I chose Nucamp
I chose Nucamp mainly because of it's affordability. Learning how to code can be tough and requires a lot of your time. After comparing other boot camps and thinking things over, I decided that it would be in my best interests to invest my time in money in something I'm comfortable failing at... just in case coding wasn't for me. I am glad I made this decision. -
