Nucamp

I've completed only one part of the 4-part Full-Stack web dev program: Bootstrap.  I chose Nucamp because the price was right, the time commitment could be balanced with my work commitments, and it was conveniently located.  During the Bootstrap program, we were introduced to many features of Bootstrap and got a little practice implementing them in structured assignments, then a project we could put as much time and practice into as we wished.  I put more time and energy into the project than I typically did in the homework, as that's where I felt I was learning the most and practicing my own creativity.  I am really pleased with the project I made so far and I think it will be valuable in my portfolio.  Overall I'm glad I've gone with Nucamp so far and am looking forward to the next 3 parts of the course.   Read less

I thought that the course was informative and beneficial to future application. I did, however, feel that some of the material/videos were slightly outdated. The instructor was kind and helpful, but I still am uneasy about my JavaScript knowledge. I really enjoyed being able to communicate with other classmates through the Slack Channel; they were a big help overcoming any obstacles when the instructor was not available. I made some pretty wonderful connections and am overall satisfied with my decision to take this course. The flexibility and affordability of this is why I chose to take this course over others. As long as you put in the time and effort to complete your weekly assignments and attend the online sessions - you'll be just fine! It is definitely not easy and is most certainly time consuming; especially in the last two weeks, but it was worth it. I suggest asking your instructor all the questions you have and make sure you take notes! Read less

I chose Nucamp because of the price. For a total of about $2100 I could get the same education that other bootcamps are charging >$10,000 for. Overall my experience in the intro to HTML, CSS, and JS course was positive. My instructor Mike was great and I feel like I learned a lot. However it seems like certain things were left out in the name of brevity. I don't necessarily think this was a bad thing because it encouraged me to go out on my own and find solutions, but I want to be transparent with my review. Read less

I chose Nucamp because it fits my schedule. I have 3 kids and responsibilities at home so the fact that all the material is online and is sent out scheduled makes you focused on what to do in that week. Every Saturday we meet with the instructor and go through all the topics and have workshop assignment that wraps up everything for that week. The tuition fee is also reasonable. It is a good way of transitioning with out changing your life up side down.  Read less

Nucamp was the only viable option I found to have interactive class time without quitting my full time job. The HTML, CSS & JavaScript track was exactly what I needed to dip my toe in the water and see if I was truly interested in learning more about development without either a HUGE financial investment or sacrificing my current job. It was a fairly intense month but gave me enough incite to know I want to pursue the full stack curriculum.

I am currently still in rolled at Nucamp. This bootcamp is very affordable and educational. I have learned alot in my five months attending Nucamp. I would recommend anyone looking to followed to further their career interest in web development to try Nucamp out.

I chose Nucamp because of it's price, the success rate of prior students, and the convenience of the classes being on the weekend. This class has allowed me to continue working full time and learn in my free time. I have been satisfied with the Html, CSS and Javascript class. I will definitely be moving forward with them for the Full-Stack program. Read less

                   I only took the fundamental course but this is great for those that are not able to attend a traditional bootcamp. In most traditional bootcamps you're required to compromise your job to attend classses, and not having to do that with NuCamp made my decision even easier. Don't let the price scare you away. Yes, the price is only a tenth of what you pay at other camps but this is not a case of "you get what you pay for". You will get great value out of this camp. Classes are small so you will have a lot of 1 on 1 time with your instructor and that to me was priceless. I am ready to take on their longer Front-end Development camp.

Although there are many introductory programming courses/tutorials online that can be taken for free, Nucamp provided an environment where students can sit down and truly focus on their programming and be able to discuss with the instructor and other students.

I like nucamp because I was provided with what I needed to learn to program but it is fast-paced.... the content is really good. the instructors know what they are doing and in general, it is a nice environment to study.

I looked for a bootcamp in the Seattle area for several months.  I work full time, 50 hours a week.  I needed to find one that would fit into my life, not the other way around.  I almost signed on to another one that would have been more of a financial burden but thank goodness I didn't.  The class sizes are great, the instructors are very knowledgeable and my fellow class mates are just as passionate about learning as I am.  I am enrolled in the full stack and have just completed the first course.  I would recommend this for anyone that is full time employed and wants a great value.  If I can do it so can you!

I chose Nucamp because it was way more affordable than other coding bootcamps. I was a little worried about it because I thought I would not have as much support. But, I was so wrong about that. My Nucamp instructor was amazing. He went above and beyond in making sure I understood the material. He communicated in a timely manner and would let me know if he was busy when I could expect a response. He thought me how to think and didn't just give me the answers. He was encouraging and helped steer me to resources so I could learn where to go when I had a question. The lecture videos were also great. They were bite-sized which helped me take in little bits of information at a time. They built upon each other in a way that was easy to follow. I did feel like some of the assignments were given without the full information needed to complete them but I think that was purposefully so that we would learn where to go to find the rest of the answers. The lectures gave enough of a foundation to complete each assignment generally but they would throw in a challenge question and that would require a bit of research. As someone who had zero knowledge of coding going into this class, I feel way more confident in my coding ablities!
