    Life-Changing Experience

    I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. Making the commitment to go to OCCS was the best decision I've ever made. 

    Quick background about me: I realized I wanted to switch to a career in programming about 1 year ago. I began to try to teach myself, by spending a few hours each day after work watching videos and doing tutorials. However, after a couple months, I realized that 1. I was going at too slow of a pace and 2. I was beginning to plateau. I realized that if I was to...

    A+ code school

     

    - They got me a job offer 3 or 4 weeks before the cohort ended. 

    - It's by an Ike's Sandwhiches. 

    - Seems like the numbers on the website are correct; Everybody in my cohort has a real job now. 

    - They understand how people learn. 

    - There is a lot of low-quality information about programming and javascript on the internet. You get to skip it. 

    - Cohort six was the best cohort ever

    An Opportunity of a Lifetime

    I am a proud member of the 7th cohort at the Orange County Code School.

    Background

    I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. I had a year of experience working on a rapid deployment medical laboratory software team, and about half a year of experience working in the entertainment sector at AT&T in a non-developer role.

    Motivations

    During the last few months...

    Got Me A Programming Job

    TL;DR:

    I finally decided to enroll after years of working an unsatisfying Engineering job. Today, I'm happily coding all day for a Cybersecurity company with salary and benfits. OCCS made this possible.

    OVERALL EXPERIENCE:

    Leaving my job with steady pay to go through a coding bootcamp without another job lined up was intimidating. The three months of learning web development at OCCS was fast-paced and very challenging. Conducting th...

    Dreams do come true.

    On December 2015, I embarked on an amazing journey to learn programming and hopefully transition my career into software development. After 1 year of self-teaching, I 've learned how to read code but I didn't really know how to connect all of my knowledge together in creating a full-stack application. I knew, from that point on, I couldn't do this alone and I need to seek help.

    Fast foward to early 2017, I saw an ad for a programming bootcamp in Orange County. The curriculum was ...

    Fantastic Program

    I had written 0 lines of code before I came to this school and I walked out with a job in hand doing full stack development.

    For those that have some experience i overheard a classmate say "I've taken 2 years of Javascript courses at a local school and I've learned more in 1 week here than I did then entire time there."

    It was a fantastic experience for me.

    Whatever you might expect you should expect to write a lot of code. 9am on day 1 Ron walked and and simp...

    A place of wisdom.

    This school and its instructors helped me go from a state of confusion to a state of clarity. 

    About me:

    For 15 years I had worked in retail like many people. I never got a college degree which can make getting into a higher position let alone a new industry difficult. I discovered my passion for software when fiddling with HTML, CSS, and only a bit of JavaScript. There are so many online resouces for "How to code" but I felt so lost. I didn't know what...

    Literally changed my life

    First, it is important to acknowledge the man behind the school, Ron Perris. I rate him 100/100 as a teacher, mentor, and dude.

    I am a member of the 5th cohort, so this review may not cover all the rad improvements the school has undergone, since. OK! Moving on to the review of OCCS...

    Literally changed my life

    If you're reading this, then you are very possibly in a similar position to where I was not too long ago. You're interested in starting a career as a developer, and those 4 years and student loans at a university just don't seem worth it. You are probably also skeptical that these coding bootcamps are legit. I mean, it does seem pretty ludicrous that after just 3 months of hard work you could be starting out at a new job as a software developer. I was incredibly skeptical about...

    OCCS - Best Decision Ever

    Before I attended OCCS I was working as a manager at a retail store.  I was not making very much money and the work was not very satisfying.  I heard about OCCS from a friend of a friend who works in the software industry and he assured me that the best way to start a career as a Software Developer is to attend a bootcamp-style school and he told me about OCCS.  I went to a meetup they were having the following weekend to get a feel for it, and see how it is.  I was a l...

    Hamburgers

    I was part of the fourth cohort. For five years, I worked as a chemist before I decided I needed a change. What I was doing as a chemist, I'll leave up to your imagination (it's more fun that way).

    I wrote my first line of code in February. I put in the time and effort both inside and outside of class. I completed three solo projects including a bot for Slack. And now? I'm a developer at a great company Ron introduced me to. 

    What did Ron do for me? He provided everythi...

    Amazing Experience

    Hi everyone,

    I decided to go to Orange County Code School (OCCS) after researching the local bootcamp programs they offer for coding around the area and decided this was the best option. After meeting Ron, I knew this was the place I would have to go. I had a little bit of experience in coding before this course, but this took my knowledge and abilities to a whole new level. I loved the three months I was able to spend coding all day, every day and if you are looking to get into...
