Kudos to this Wonderful BootCamp
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I had very brief Python exposure in my Computer Science program, our language was Java, but also, this was 7 years ago and I've since grown rusty in programming altogether. I worked for a big multinational tech firm in the last 7 years, but for projects where I felt I needed to improve my programming skills to 'get ahead'. I want to become a 'programming-based tester' if I go back into Testing (Python Selenium), or alternatively build up to Python dev freelance work, or (Data Sci work) Dashboard Developer. Every direction I'd want to go involves Python, even animation projects in Maya for fun.
NuCamp, *far* exceeded my expectations for my goals.
The cadence of once a week workshops, well-designed work assignments, and encouraging instruction on my day off, really gave me the push and guidance to learn *a LOT* in a short amount of time, but never felt "stuck" for too long. So it was a wonderful experience of legitimate up-skilling. I'm now very comfortable with coding in Python, after a quite intense 5 weeks, and will definitely continue the momentum upwards provided by NuCamp. Thank you!!! -

Nucamp Course Review (Python Fundamentals)
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
What led me to enroll in Nucamp was the potential to gain new skills in order to be hired as a programmer. I currently develop Ethereum projects and looking to add to my stack in order to be eventually hired in the blockchain devops field. So far, it was the right decision. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The content and the exercises helped me become a better Python programmer and I will now be able to use the langauge for testing my smart contracts, as well as use it for other purposes. I believe that this course content is a good base to build your skills from. -

Web Development
I am considering doing some "retraining" to change up my career outlook. I found Nucamp when searching for methods to learn skills to "code".
I have taken only the Web Development course at this time, but really like the format and the content. -

It was the best decision for me enroll into Nucamp. It was affordable and the instructor answered our questions on time and in order. I liked working on projects with other people in the group. It was very nice learning new things and immediately applying them. -

Great Experience
I've had a great experience thus far. It's been great to connect with other people in the class and trade ideas and study tips. Our instructor, Natalie Childs has been super helpful as well and entertaining. Would definitely recommend Nucamp to friends! -

Mediocre Curriculum, Good Instructors
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Even at it's cheap price point, I don't think the Nucamp's curriculum is worth it. The course basically revolves around you watching vids for 6 days of the week and copying whatever the woman is doing in the videos to try to "learn" whatever concepts she's teaching ... and then attempting to prove that you get it by doing "code challenges". The last day is spent on workshops with an actual instructor to go over what we learned. However, I find that it's pretty easy to get lost since 6 days of the week are spent without an actual instructor. It's literally no different than watching Youtube vids or taking a Udemy course to learn on your own and taking some quiz afterwards. It would've been better if we had two live classes. One during the middle of the week and one at the end of the week to make sure everyone is on the same page. And because alot of the instructors have actual jobs, it can take a while for them to get back to you. So you're basically forced to google everything when you're lost or wait until the end of the week to catch up on your questions. On top of that, the curriculum itself is pretty unbalanced. We spend too much time on easy things like Bootstrap and not enough time on challenging things like React, Reactive Native, Redux, Node, etc. I feel like the videos themselves were just too copy and paste-y too (the lady in the vids were constantly telling us to "Copy and paste this here"). I found myself, ironically, taking FREE courses and watching vids on youtube just to understand what was going on since the woman in the videos were explaining things pretty terribly and, often, without context. And I found myself learning more from these free courses and videos than the actual Nucamp course itself. Overall, eventhough the instructors are pretty good, I just don't think it's worth it, even at it's low price point. I feel I learned more from free material online than the bootcamp. And what we actually learned just felt too copy-paste-y and didn't really solidify the concepts. I feel like they suck you in with the low cost but there are other cheap and free resources out there that are better! -

Great Course so Far
Great Camp. I would recommend this to others who want to learn Bootstrap and front end development. I'm looking forward to the React portion of this course. -

I learned a lot this past month! Great way to get started in coding and learn the fundamentals. If you're interested in learning to code, but don't want to fully commit until you know coding is right for you, Nucamp's 4 week HTML, CSS & Javascript introductory bootcamp is a great first step to take in your coding journey. -

Really enjoyed the 4 week fundamentals course. My favorite part is the 4 hour Saturday class with other students and our instructor was great. I ould definitely recommend this course to friends and family. -

I needed more guidance and flexibility in learning to program. Nucamp fit my need perfectly. They are welcoming, knowledgeable, and I was able to learn while working full time. -

A Great Experience

Being absolutely new to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Nucamp provided me with a valuable foundation of knowledge. I highly recommend the beginner course if you have no prior experience with web development. The HTML and CSS portions were quite fun. Prepare to work, read, and spend considerable effort learning JavaScript. This portion of the course will test your tech-savvy might. Overall I am quite pleased with Nucamp and my decision to enroll. -

Best experience!

Nucamp offered me a safe and supportive environment to know what I don't know, Own it with confidence and build on that, a fresh foundation of new knowledge to start my technical growth.
The format worked really well with my already overloaded schedule.
The instructors and my class mates were dedicated to my success.
The course work showed me how to learn with many facets and styles to choose from.
I am continuing my technical growth with other Nucamp courses! -

Help is hard to get
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I wish they had more student support. They enforce the 20 min rule (if you get stuck ask for help in 20 min) but with the current support structure this is absolutely impossible to provide help in a timely manner. Slack is helpful to dig up old answers to current problems students have. But yet for problems you have and answers not found in slack, assistance is very hard to get and instructors so far are not reachable nor are fill ins willing to help. They refer you back to the instructor which if they do "help" do not provide much of it. I have only taken the bootstrap class. -

I was looking to expand my knowledge in html/css/JS to prepare for the full stack course and this was a great introductory course. I highly recommend this over the bootcamps offered by colleges at astronomical prices as you should, through dedication, achieve the same understanding you would for a fraction of the price. Looking forward to taking the full stack bootcamp and the newly offered python bootcamp. -

Totally Worth It!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I enrolled in the web development fundamentals course because I was having a hard time with the self study route. I soon realized that I needed an instructor and some structure. So glad I took this course. It was very informative. I learned soooo much in such a short amount of time. Like I can't believe how much I actually learned lol. If you're like me and really interested in Web Development, take this bootcamp. It's an affordable price and will help you decide if this is a career you want to pursue before you put in thousands of dollars into some other bootcamp. Also if you are a noob like me expect to study for hours at a time every day. Don't waste your money taking this class if you don't have the time to dedicate to it. You will get lost really quick if you think you can attend the class and not have done the practice exercises and all the stuff that leads up to your projects. All that being said don't forget this is only a month of learning. So this is a very fast paced course. And there is a lot to take in. I would recommend doing other things on the side as well to make sure you are retaining the information. -

Thrust into Code
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I was drawn to NuCamp for budgetary reasons, and they offered me what they said they'd offer: valuable education on my time.
Beginners that are looking to enter Web Development Fundamentals will find comprehensive explanations and examples given to them by pre-recorded voiceovers and corresponding videos. I encourage taking thorough notes of these sessions to then refer to while participating in exercises utilizing Microsoft's Visual Studio Code on your own computer. These brief, episodic lessons and exercise will then snowball into a weekly workshops that feature nuanced tips from your instructor via Zoom, and a project that tests how well you've mastered that week's core components.
Be prepared to take your research into html, css, and JavaScript into more advanced aspects on your own though; this course is mostly meant to wet your toes, and introduce you to the basic components of building interactive websites. It does, however, integrate you into a frame of mind that better evaluates syntax, computer logic, and creative solutions to natural obstacles; traits that I understand are core to a career in data science. -

Awesome course!!!
I always wanted to learn to code and thanks to my instructor, class mates and the Nu Camp community I've learned so much within the first month. I'm excited for the future!
I highly recomend this course, especially if youre serious in learning tools that are new to you. -

I was utilizing a different coding boot camp prior to Nucamp but there was a lack of support. I can definitely say Nucamp is the total opposite the amount of support I've received has made a huge difference. The weekly workshops in particular are super helpful as well! -

Full stack web + mobile development
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I wanted to learn full stack tools and Nucamp had the best courses for the money. I settled on the React course and it was very informational. The instructors were very knowledgible and they responded to questions each evening or whenever they could considering that they had full time IT day jobs. The course was grueling and rightfully so. If you do the course in its entirety and follow through on the tips and links provided in each course to get in depth knowledge that'll help tremendously. I fully recommend the nucamp courses to anyone who wants to jump into the full stack game head on provided you're ready and willing to spend the time to master the skills. -

Full Stack Bootcamp
The price point and options for payment were very attractive, and the course has been well worth the price. I've been able to work around my own schedule to complete the coursework easily. If you have a busy schedule, but are available on saturday mornings I absolutely reccommend this course. -

Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I decided to enroll in Nucamp's full stack bootcamp to have more guidance for learning web development. I looked at other bootcamps and chose this because it focuses on exactly what I'm trying to learn, which is frontend development with JS & React, and also because of the price. I have a lot of experience with HTML, CSS, and only know the very basics of JavaScript. Nucamp has provided a better learning road when it comes to web development, and having weekly lessons and deadlines helped keep me consistent with studying, which was my main goal when joining this bootcamp. The more consistent you are with coding, the better you will learn. I'm looking forward to continuing the next sections this full stack bootcamp has to offer. -

I have been trying to self teach myself how to program for a year not very consistently but trying and it was just hard not having a structure plan. I joined nucamp to get that structure. It delivered 100%. I enjoyed learning actually what it takes to become a web developer. Nucamp provided alot of information in the funtamentals bootcamp. The big benefit is the people in the course with you. Doing weekly peer assignments really helped me learn with someone. Being able to share information to create our project was super beneficial. I was able to learn and have fun. -

I think that the Foundations Bootcamp that I took at Nucamp was definitely worth the time and money. I feel that in the short time I studied at Nucamp I learned way more than I could have if I tried to self-study.
However, there was a serious lack of interaction between the other students. I found that outside of the Saturday Workshop I was basically on my own. Even if I posted a message in the Slack channel for my class, it was like a ghost town... -

Great place for coding bootcamp!!

I was really interested in coding. I used to self learn by searching materials in google, YouTube and other coding site. Due to lack of proper guidance and support I used to stuck in some problem and get frustrated to learn. After joining Nucamp bootcamp I got proper guidance and support to learn. I like Nucamp so much due to it course, flexible learning hour and affordable price. The instructors are also very knowledgeable and very supportive. -

It's very thorough and Informative! Byron was a very good instructor. You never feel behind because of the pace. It can get overwhelming at some points but it's part of the process. I really enjoyed my course and highly recommend it. I now know more about programming than I ever thought possible. In such a short amount of time! -

Great experience! However, I can see this introduction course being intimidating to a lot of people, especially to the ones that doesn't have any experience at all. Our instructor was great and they provided a lot of tools for their students. -

The vision is working
I chose Nucamp because of the vision of the founder. I believe his vision is being followed. The financial aspect also played a roll.
