    Well prepared

    • What this school good at?
      • Deep Knowledge of Code

        Ron is incredibly experienced in code, the internet, and computers in general. He will impart a respectable amount of knowledge to you provided you show interest and put in effort.

      • Best Practices

        Ron will drill best practices into you that seem overkill but are absolutely vital for code maintainability (I learned this on my first day in my dev c...

    Hard Work Pays Off

    I came into the course after almost a year of drifting through free online courses and a few JavaScript books. I was familiar with a lot of the basics, especially HTML and CSS, but hadn't been able to put it all together or push through that beginner level. Programming as a career was a big change for me, and I was both excited and nervous about actually making the leap.

    Ron starts his curriculum fast right out of the gate. He knows that there is more to learn than can possibly f...

    Amazing school and experience

    My personal experience:

    I am recent graduate of the 4th cohort, but my background details are not likely what you care most about. (There are plenty of other reviews with folks and their backgrounds/accomplishments if desired) You are considering embarking on an incredible journey into Software Development and have questions like: How much and what will I be learning from this school? Will I be able to get job? Is this school imaginary and a bunch of bots trying ...

    OCCS will prepare you - if you put the effort

    I am a recent graduate of Orange County Code School. I attended the bootcamp that ran from Nov 2015 to Feb 2016. In 12 weeks I went from being someone who knew very little about coding to making full apps. Was it hard? Yeah sometimes. Did I ever feel lost? Of course. Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!! 

    Ron the instructor is very knowledgable and will teach you how to code. Other negative reviews you might read in here say he not a good instructor, but that is far from the truth. He's t...

    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...

    I am so thankful I chose to go to OCCS over the other coding schools.

    I drove 5 - 6 hours per day to attend OCCS. I spent over 19 days total sitting in my car, and drove over 11,000 miles in those 90 days. For 90 days I missed out on time spent with my wife and my two small children, always leaving before they woke and often coming home right when my kids were getting to bed. I made a lot of sacrifices for what I consider to be the most important aspects in my life to attend this course, and it was worth every minute. Here is my story.

    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

    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...

    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

    Write code, read code, eat code, sleep code.

    I graduated with the 3rd cohort of OCCS, which ran from August 2015 to February 2016.

    • I learned to build full-stack web apps on the MEAN stack through OCCS.
       
    • I was invited to several job interviews by recruiters who were attending the OCCS Demo Day, and I accepted a position as a full-time Jr. Fr...

    My long story:

    I studied Finance( mostly on my own time) though out high school. Although, I am a creative. Finance didn't allow me to be visionary and solve ingenious problems. After reading many many articles about becoming a software developer, I denied my job offer that I received after my internship from Wells Fargo and decided to end my journey in Finance.

    So my new journey began as pro...

    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...
