Nucamp

I think I learned a lot in a sort time, even if some of the course materials were a bit (in my opinion) out of order and should be a bit more in depth. That being said, I gained access to a lot of resources and information I did not previously have, and I feel confident that I should be able to apply those concepts int he near future. Read less

I am currently enrolled in the Full-Stack/Mobile Bootcamp and I am absolutely loving my experience. I just finished my first section and I am very excited to see where this takes me. My instructor so far has been the best at everything! He is extremely knowledgable about what we are learning at he makes it fun! I would 1000% recommend this boot camp to anyone!  Read less

I've just finished the Bootstrap course, have a week of "break" (I'll probably keep working on my portfolio project which, thankfully, can always be better!), and then I'll be going on to the React and through the entire Fullstack program!

Having just completed 5 weeks of working with my instructor periodically throughout the week and for a few hours each Saturday, I feel a bit sad to no longer have class with her.  I trust that future instructors will be just as wonderful, and I can still find her on our Nucamp Slack, which has channels for each cohort, each cohort's location, each class section, a general channel, a random channel, and more! There are lots of opportunities to connect, even while we are all forced to be remote (thanks, COVID-19!). It is cohort-based, so I do get to have some familiar faces in the next class!

I highly recommend being very intentional about working with a partner on your portfolio project. And about learning how to use github. It is possible to make it through the course without doing much of either, just as it's possible to cut corners on so many things. Don't. You want those skills.

In the end, I feel much more familiar with how html, css, scss, bootstrap, javascript, and jquery work together to build a website, and I've developed a patience and focus to work on one small bit at a time, with the greater picture in mind. I did have some familiarity with these things before, but there was still a lot to learn as I went through the exercises and challenges.

Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to have structured study of the basic web development fundamentals. It doesn't go ridiculously deep, as it's only 5 weeks long and part time, but it will let you keep your job and it will give you a lot to chew on. You will be able to assemble a website and run it locally. You will know how to format it to make it look prettier. And you might even have fun figuring it out. Read less

I chose Nucamp because of its flexible schedule, since I have a full-time job and cannot take regular classes. I ended up really liking the Saturday workshops, and find the learning style during the week to be challenging, but not impossible. I'd recommend this course to anyone! It does take a good amount of self-discipline, but the course information is usually engaging enough to keep you interested and wanting to learn more. All the instructors are super helpful and kind, and genuinely want to see you succeed.  Read less

Nucamp is an outstanding bootcamp.  It is perfect for those of us who have a day job.  I spent 14-20 hours per week including Saturday morning team meetings.  My instructor was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.  It was fun to learn in a group where we could share ideas.  They say you get what you pay for, so I was skeptical, since Nucamp is so much less than the 5-figure full-time bootcamps, but this is totally worth the money!  I highly recommend Nucamp and I'll be taking more courses from them.

NuCamp doesn't teach you everything about front end development but they put you in a very good learning situation/environment.  The basics they teach you are pure fundamentals that are absolutely needed in order to become a very good developer.  React and React Native are excellent courses!

I chose Nucamp because it was the bootcamp that provided me with the best option to study remotely and on my own time, while also giving me live access to an instructor twice a week and to a whole community 24/7 through Slack. Saturday classes were well-paced and full of exercises that tested what we had learned during that week. Amy, our instructor, was always helpful and attentive.  Read less

I took the 4 week web fundamentals bootcamp. Didn't know what to expect, but i'm glad i took it as I learned a lot. The price is fair for what you learn. I liked that it was a small group with one instructor where you can get personal help when you need it.   Read less

I choose Nucamp because it was located in my city and the price was reasonable. I really enjoyed the classes because it was a great review for me and I learned so many things I didn't know. I look forward to the Full Stack Web and Mobile Development bootcamp!!!! Read less

This was my first boot camp and I really liked it considering the fees charged for the course, it is really good for a person beginning to learn to code. It definitely helps a person understanding if this is the right career for them. It gives a good start to a beginner and will give you fundamentals to become a web developer.  Read less
