Nucamp

For the most part, I felt like I understood everything, although occasionally I felt lost. I really enjoyed the instructional videos. I thought they were very thorough & understandable. I think I could have used more chances to write code on my own that provided an explanation after I attempted the code myself. For example, during the code challenges, it would be nice if the answers were provided. In the end, although I was pretty sure I understood everything, I didn't feel very confident to start writing code on my own. Read less

I am currently in a react-native portion of the full stack course. The whole course revolved around building the same website first using bootstrap, then using react and then react-native. The course videos are sub-par and you will end up learning from googling a lot. The video only talks about the nucamp website you are building so if you want to build something on your own, you will feel lost. Min(the instructor in the video) does a poor job in explaining the content and most of the time you will feel like a code-monkey.
The in-person instructors care a lot and really want you to learn, however you are slammed with so much information that it will be hard for the instructor to catch up. I am not done with the course yet, I think the course is a good introduction but it is not good enough to get a job unless you have programmed before. The bootstrap course is easy but the longest, the react and react-native course are confusing and still given less time.   Read less

I chose Nucamp because I work full-time and most other coding camps require way too much time during the week.  Nucamp was the best of both worlds with the hybrid structure.  I also appreciated the cost since most bootcamps were much, much more.  I really liked the weekend in-person sessions; I felt that is where I learned the most because I was able to take the week's work and learn from it with peers.  Read less

I recently took the Web Development Fundamentals course offered at Nucamp and I would definitely recommend the course to others wanting to explore into the career of web development. The course is very affordable and is taught by very mindful instructors that are there for you to learn.

I chose Nucamp because its a good hybrid between in-person bootcamps and being self-taught. Having the weekly structure gives you accountability and encourages you to stay at a productive pace. The instructor was phenomenal and having other people in the course enables you to work together; so you are never alone no matter what skill level you are. This bootcamp definitely doesn't spoon feed you (a very good thing!) and it will definitely challenge you so you have to come in with the willingness to learn, struggle, and grow. Its a great program, but you also can't expect them to tell you EVERYTHING. There's a lot to learn so having additional supplemental material from other sources will boost your learning experience even more!

The video tutorials left a little to be desired, but our instructor (Naasir) continually fed us pdfs and additional video links to further our understanding. I feel like the price is fair for what you get--it's an intro course but it's VERY immersive. I'd pay for a "Part 2" intro course if they offered one, just so when I went into Bootstrap, etc., I'd be even more prepared.

NuCamp is great for the working professional trying to transition careers.  Much like every other self guided class, this is very much "you get out of it what you put into it" and some students fail to see that.  If you're going into this thinking that you will learn everything from the workshops, you're not going to do well.

Take the time during the week to study and ask questions on the message boards!  The weekly classes on Saturdays is where all of the "light-blub" moments will happen.  Alira is an awesome instructor!

Overall it was a good experience. I would have preferred to have the weekend sessions be in person rather than video conference, but I understand that it's not feasible if there aren't many other students in my city. The instructor was great, patient, and very knowledgeable. He made sure none of us were left behind and that by the end of each session, we all had the projected completed and functioning. If you are a person who would prefer a structured learning environment over solely self learning, this is a great option.

It was affordable, good price, and I liked that I was able to do everything online during the week and still have that interaction on Saturday with the instructor and classmates. I felt like I gained more connections with my classmates and teacher as well. The slack channel helped also if we had any questions.

I think this was a helpful intro course to web development. It covers HTML/CSS, and Javascript for beginners. It's affordable and flexible with a full time job for my situation and this was a good choice for me. The learning environment is great and instructor was very helpful.
