NuCamp Atlanta
I chose it because of the mixed format - self directed during the week, and in person class on the weekend. Our instructor Joseph was really supportive and helpful, and the small class size made it really easy to get the attention I needed :-)

I chose NuCamp because of the flexibility of the schedule. The ability to be a hybrid greatly helps. The additional/further resources combined with the online open resources makes this course very feasible for someone coming in with no prior coding experience.

Price and Affordability
Read more Read less of Carlos U.'s review
I chose Nucamp for 3 reasons:
1) Price
2) Works around student's schedule
3) Collaboration with Instructors and Peers
There is no other Bootcamp that I have seen that matches what Nucamp offers in terms of price and flexibility. For the students that are brand new to programming and contemplating on potentially changing careers, this is a great course to take to help you make that decision. For anyone who is just curious about programming in general, this course will help give you the fundamentals needed to understand key concepts and take your knowledge to another level. Ultimately, if you have the time needed to learn these concepts and a willingness to ask questions, you will take away from this course a greater appreciation for what goes on behind the scenes as you look at a website.

Nucamp Intro Course

Nucamp worked great for someone with a busy schedule. This does not mean there was little work or learning to be had! The structure allows you to have a family & full time job while still learning and getting an in person environment to compliment the online learning. You will get out of it what you put in. In order to maximize your learning and fully comprehend the assignments you will need to research on your own outside of the lessons.

Excellent Opportunity

I chose NuCamp Beginning Web Dev Fundamentals because I intend to move on to a full stack bootcamp and I needed a review of HTML and CSS. I was also very new to JavaScript and needed more knowledge to be able to complete coding challenges. The course also gave me a better idea of what I would be getting into with a larger bootcamp.
Cost was also a factor in choosing this course. I wanted to try this thing risk free, and the low cost made me feel safe with my choice. I also enjoyed the fact that I did not have to quit my job to take this step. NuCamp has many course scheduling options. I joined the Newark Cohort because it was offered online. I didn't have to make the hour long trip into Philly or Newark personally which meant more study time and no tolls!
The coursework was great! We learned how to use the Command Line, and how to easily manipulate our code editors. I was worried about being too slow during the JavaScript section, but our instructor took the time to teach to all levels.
In the end, I feel like this was well worth my time, and I would totally recommend taking this course through NuCamp!

Nucamp offers a comprehensive coding experience at a very affordable rate. My instructor in the person of Eric Olaveson was very attentive and always willing to help. With him there was no dumb question and he was always readily available to respond to emails

Bootstrap Portion Review
Read more Read less of Dan Zins's review
I specifically selected Nucamp for cost reasons, time flexibility (I can work evenings and weekends) and the content (I was excited there is an online program that teaches specifically Bootstrap and React).
Naasir is a fantastic teacher. I had a few developer teachers in the past and I honestly can say he is one of the best ones I ever had. For somebody who is a junior level sure knows a lot of web development and most importantly he can teach the coding subjects. I had teachers who been developing over ten years but cannot teach to save their lives. Naasir not only can teach the courses in a methodical and transparent way (a way that I can actually understand coding) but he is caring and wants us to succeed. I can see he has a lot of passion and that makes me to have more passion for coding as well.
Some of the drawbacks are the pacing of the online videos. The instructor does a decent job explaining the theory of Bootstrap coding but she goes a little too fast when it comes to actual coding. I don't know if that was her choice or whoever was in charge of making the Bootstrap program online videos, but the pacing needs to slow down. That is one issue for me. Another issue was some technical issues on a quiz and instructions. Incorrect Information was presented in the instructions. When taking the quiz where I selected an answer, which was indicated wrong on the Nucamp site but was actually right (The instructor pointed out there was a bug in the Nucamp site), one would figure this would be worked out before launching this program live to customers.
Not a fan having the workshops and classes occur during Thanksgiving and Christmas time because that is when I am slammed at work (year end closing) and holiday travels. Gives me less time to do the online tutorials.Ludo Fourrage of Nucamp

Hi Dan, thank you for joining Nucamp and for offering your feedback! We're quite lucky to have Naasir as an instructor indeed. Regarding the pace of the videos: we have received the feedback via the weekly surveys as well and will be updating the curriculum shorty to slow down the pace a bit, and spend more time on the coding portions. This is a brand new curriculum and we appreciate your patience as we squash typos and other bugs. Regarding Thanksgiving and Christmas did you know you could retake / pause the bootcamp and restart it after the holidays?
Good luck with the rest of your learning journey! -

Great!!

NuCamp offered a great way for me to be introduced to basic coding languages without having to take off from work or put responsibilities aside. Where I am, at least, this isn't typically offered anywhere else, as the other coding bootcamps in my area all require your daily attention from 9-5, which is typically your average work schedule. I love the flexibility and the price just can't be beat.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Read more Read less of Richard Samano's review
I was a completely new to coding. I have a much better understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript after this 4 week camp. This camp was not easy for me but now I can conceptualize how to code and understand the basics. The projects are fun but require time and study, but that is normal and expected. Be prepared to commit your time if you are a true beginner.
This is the first boot camp I have ever attended. As for Nucamp, I have nothing but good recommendations to offer. The instructors were great and if I was unable to attend my online sessions, Nucamp made arrangements for me to attend another cohort online. My instructors made time for me when I needed help. Thank you again!

I choose Nucamp for the affordable pricing, and the hybrid taught class. Being able to work at your own pace during the week watching videos and doing the assignments, and then collaborating with others and learning from the instructor in-person was great.

great learning activities. video lectures were clear and concise and followed a logical progression. Instructors availed themselves on Slack to interact and answer questions/give help.

Nucamp: Full Stack (online)
A flexible schedule and affordable for somebody that can't attend school either because of work or can't afford to pay for school, both applicable to me. Really enjoy and liked the schedule the Nucamp offers, during the week we get to study and do assignments then on Saturday we get to the workshop to review the exercises of that week.

I chose to take this course because, although I loved HTML when I studied it many years ago, I wasn't sure if coding would be right for me now or if I would be able to handle it. Spending exorbitant amounts for other courses wasn't an option, especially because I was unsure. After completing the beginners' course, I am SO happy I chose to do this through Nucamp because it cleared all my doubts and I am sure I want to go through the advanced levels with Nucamp. The instructors and community are so welcoming and helpful and the course provides an excellent structure for learning. The in-person workshops are also a great support that help clear all your doubts from the week of learning. Would definitely recommend the beginners' course for anyone with doubts!

Marian Fisk
HTML-CSS-JavaScript Great Start!
This HTML-CSS-JavaScript bootcamp was a great way to get started adding skills for web development. At first it seemed overwhelming, but gradually it got easier as I learned more. The last workshop was especially fun to work on. I am going to continue with the next Nucamp classes.

Intro To Web Development (HTML, CSS, & JavaScript)

For the price of what you receive, you receive a lot of information. Having an actual designated instructor you can get fast and direct answers to is well worth the money. I do not recommend this course if you have no knowledge of web development (like I did). They made it work but I felt confused a lot. I think if you can do a free introductory course through an App or an online program that is free that would help you start and this course would REALLY fine tune your skills while giving you great feedback on the concepts you are learning.

Web Dev Fundamentals
I chose Nucamp because it was fairly affordable and flexible with the schedule. I really enjoyed the workshop with our instructor. The recap sessions during the workshops were very helpful in terms of which areas we should focus our attention on. Our instructor also went through the content relatively quick while maintaining everyone to be on the same page.

Jenna
NuCamp Intro Course
I chose nucamp because I was looking to get a better idea about CSS/HTML/JS. It was affordable and I liked that it was only 4 weeks. Since it was only 4 weeks, it was pretty intense. You're learning a lot very quickly -- it sometimes felt like drinking from a firehose. However, I do feel like I have a strong foundation to go on and continue learning.

Great Introductory Course
I have learned so much in just this small introductory course, and my instructor Isiah was great! Very helpful and informative. The price was the most affordable I could find and the quality was much greater than it. I am excited to start the larger Fullstack class!

A weekend class
Read more Read less of Bill Xiong's review
if you are looking for affordable coding bootcamp and flexability with your busy schedule then Nucamp is for you. What I like about Nucamp is that it fits into my work schedule. It's only one day a week. My professor is very helpful. instead of giving us the answer, she guides us to getting the answer, making me understand how I got the answer. Would be nice if the sessions were in a room. Titution for the 4 week bootcamp: HTML, CSS & JavaScript was well worth the $650. Money well spent. What I don't like about the Bootcamp is the enrollment: I enrolled on september but due to not having enough people enrolled in the course, there was gonna be no class. So I had no choice but to enroll to October and had to miss the first day of class even if I already booked my vacation a head of the bootcamp already. I was dissapointed that I wasn't able to attend the september session due to not having enough attendance. Overall the experience was good. I learned alot. What I like about Nucamp is that it fits into my work schedule, my professor is very helpful.

Nucamp Web Development Bootcamp

I chose Nucamp as a way to further my career in IT services. I wanted to learn more about web development for both the front and back end and see if this is something I'd like to pursue. Nucamp offered a bootcamp for just that, and, at a great price! So, I signed up.
I just completed one month of learning and so far, I like it! The videos are really helpful and it's nice that I can pause and/or rewind when I want to. The written instructions are also very clear and easy to follow. I especially like all the additional resources hyperlinked at the bottom of the page--these are a helpful tool to better understand the topic of the lesson.
The quizzes on CodePen are fantastic! They really help solidify your knowledge of the lesson. Some were a bit tricky, but I was eventually able to figure it out--which helped boost my confidence that this is something I could do as a career!
If I had to give a negative, it would be meeting at a coworking space. It gets really loud and sometimes hard to hear the instructor and focus. Our space, in particular, has a marketing group who like to hype each other up but cheering chants and jumping, much like a sports team. So, that can get pretty distracting.
Overall, I'm really liking the course and the price. I feel I have learned a lot so far and I'm looking forward to the next courses!

Part time learning, with classroom benefits
I really like the format of the courses. Working alone on weekdays and then together on weekened. It brings a factor of convenience which allows me to continue working and the in person workshops put you to the test in a personal environment.

I chose Nucamp because it provides online classes and onsite workshop once a week and of course cause of affordable fees. Instructor is very knowledgeable and explains really well. There are many help online from instructors from other location too. They provide good lessons with videos and resources to make us clear and understand well.

Online Course Review - Web Development Fundamentals
Read more Read less of Angela's review
I chose Nucamp because I need the flexibility of learning at home during the week while my kids are in school. I am changing careers and this is a great option that offers the structure that I need (compared to self-learning) yet I can learn and have access to online instructors and interact with students when I need a little extra help.
Although I initially signed up for the in-person class in Houston, TX I ended up taking the online Fundamentals class because there were not enough students signed up for an in-person class so I was kind of disappointed. Now, however, Nucamp offers remote learning workshops so that you will be placed with local learners and an instructor in your area if there isn't enough students for an in-person weekly workshop. (This is different from the 4 online learning classes they offer which are grouped by timezone.) Because of this I am excited for the next course I signed up for to at least be paired with local people. I would like to make connections in my area in this industry since I am changing careers and I know that is crucial.
The online workshop instructor I had was great. She stayed after the class each week to make sure the students were understanding what the project was and assisted as needed. She was also open to the feedback that was given (you have to leave anonymous feedback each week as you move along). She also gave us more resources to utilize to further our learning and gave us career advice which was great.
During the week you watch content from a video instructor from a university. The speed of the course can be a bit fast if you are beginniner like myself but I found the provided resources to be excellent if I was confused.
Overall I am very happy I chose to go through the Fundamentals class. I think it has laid a great foundation which will help me in the Full Stack Web Developer course I have just started.

NuCamp Bellevue Fundamentals of HTML CSS AND JAVASCRIPT
Fundamentals of HTML JAVASCRIPT AND CSS The bootcamp had its ups and downs... but the kost most important thing is to set aside time during the week to do and understand the work you are watch and practicing. The course was worth it and more. The people you meet are also meaningful to your start in Dev work. -

Bootstrap Course Review

I just completed the Bootstrap course and I liked it. It was very simple enough to not feel overwhelmed by the whole process. I choose Nucamp because the convenience of mostly being online along with having someone in person to review what you have learned throughout the week, ask questions, along with having most classmates around to collaborate on different topics that we struggled or loved. What I loved most about it was the price. By having a low price, you are able to fully engage into the course.

Excellent bootcamp! Web fundamentals
Read more Read less of Krystal A.'s review
I took the Web FundamentaIs course for 4 weeks. It was well worth the time and money spent ($320). I chose Nucamp, because it is affordable and it offers a flexible way to learn code by learning via videos and exercises at home as well as in person through a weekly workshop. Nucamp is an excellent bootcamp. The video lectures are clearly explained and presented. Also, having access to other Nucampers via Slack is a huge value. This way you can learn from others. The instructor is available and willing to help students learn. Awesome, awesome bootcamp! What I learned I will be able to build upon.

HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Bellingham WA, Oct-Nov 2019

I found the flipped classroom with Slack/email support to be an efficient learning delivery format. David Rossiter's video lectures were easy to follow, and videos I could rewatch were an immense improvement over live lectures in community college. At-home exercises and classroom workshops were challenging, especially once we started on JavaScript. Instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and generally easy to follow. Both Daniel and Minae monitored Slack and responded promptly to my questions.
For the Saturday workshops, I think it would have been more productive to spend class time on problem analysis and debugging rather than coding. Group activities for analyzing existing code/function calls and diagramming program logic and writing pseudo code for the week's workshop would have prepared us for coding the workshop on our own on the weekend and asking questions/collaborating via Slack.
Also, in class we briefly touched on using debugger features in Visual Studio Code and the browsers, but I would have liked more information on how to use debuggers, which tools working programmers use for debugging, how to chase down common error messages, etc. This might be a great subject for a future David Rossiter video.
WRT workload, supposedly Nucamp requires 1-3 hours/day of study. That might be true during the first couple of weeks for HTML/CSS. However, for JavaScript in weeks 3 and 4, I found myself spending 5-7 hours/day. There were a lot of videos to watch and take notes on, plus the exercises were harder. Expanding the 4-week fundamentals class to 6 weeks would mitigate this problem.
The curriculum had some minor glitches. Video sound quality was mostly excellent, but a handful of the videos had volume issues. Exercises and workshops could use editing. (Examples: On one of the exercises, it would have been helpful if the instructions had mentioned that it was ok for the alert box to display HTML elements as well as text strings. Also, in all the workshops, distinguishing overview from task steps was confusing at first because it wasn't clear that we were supposed to build out the code in separate files for part 1, part 2, etc.)
Overall, I was satisfied with my Bellingham Nucamp experience, and I plan to continue with the full-stack camp in January. I'm glad to have a break between rounds, though, because I've realized I still need to do a lot of work just to absorb the content from the HTML/CSS/JavaScript camp.

Miranda
Great Intro Course!
Read more Read less of Miranda's review
I received my Bachelors degree in software development but felt that the languages and projects I worked on were not applicable to the job market now and opportunities in my area. I wanted to wonder into the world of full stack and felt this fundamentals course with Nucamp would be a good starting point. It completely exceeded my expectations. The course work is not too heavy so you could definitely manage a full time job while taking it. The weekly workshops were a great source of information and review. Each week we coded a project that built off of each weeks lessons. I look forward to moving on to the full stack course next.
The only con for me was that this course did not have a physical location in my area. That being said it was a remote location where both the teacher and other students were in my area.
