I attended Rutgers undergrad for computer science for a few semesters and became discouraged by the amount of time I had to spend on work for breadth requirement courses when I wanted to devote most of my time to computer science work. I'd find myself in the library writing papers and doing homework for courses that I had no interest in, but was forced to take. Fast forward a few years, and I saw the opportunity to take this Coding Bootcamp and jumped on it immediately.

I attended Rutgers undergrad for computer science for a few semesters and became discouraged by the amount of time I had to spend on work for breadth requirement courses when I wanted to devote most of my time to computer science work. I'd find myself in the library writing papers and doing homework for courses that I had no interest in, but was forced to take. Fast forward a few years, and I saw the opportunity to take this Coding Bootcamp and jumped on it immediately.
I took the 12 week (full-time) course rather than the 24 week (part-time) course, and honestly I loved how condensed it was. Going into it I thought I'd have trouble paying attention through a five hour class every day, but I quickly found that most days class would end and I wished that it was longer. If you take the 12 week course it's definitely very important to stay on top of the assignments, but as long as you start the homework a reasonable amount of time before the due date it's no problem to get it finished and even find a little extra time to add your own flair to it.
For a little context, I had some experience in Java, but it was so far in the past for me that I didn't utilize it much. I worked three nights a week as well, so it's possible to have a job at the same time but I wouldn't overload your schedule. Especially towards the tail end of the course. Many students had zero prior experience in coding prior to the bootcamp, and while some struggled in the beginning to pick up core concepts, they all finished the course as fantastic coders. I would work with any single one of them in the future. I just finished yesterday, so I can't really speak on job placement, but they have a career services department who will help you craft your resume, teach you what questions you will encounter in interviews, and set you up with recruiting agencies. We even had a few recruiters attend the presentation for our final projects, which was cool.
Our instructor, Franklin Dawes, was amazing. Super helpful, always took the time to answer questions thoroughly. He'd go over the same thing several times if necessary, but somehow still managed to keep us on track with the curriculum every day. Alan Chu and Tom Keel were our TA's, and they were just as fantastic. Really supportive people who attended the bootcamp in a prior session and came out very knowledgeable. We had a few other guest TA's, Aaron, Mark, Tammer, Rob, I'm sure I'm missing some. They were all great too, and someone in my class by the name of Adam Kwan will be a TA for the next full time course I believe. He was an all star all semester in our class and pretty much acted as a third TA for a lot of us, so I'm sure he'll be awesome. Finally, Juanita Soranno helped out with career services and acted as our cheerleader throughout the course. She's super helpful, knows her stuff when it comes to coding, and is very accomodating if anything arises.
Bottom line, if you want to learn to be a web developer in 12 or 24 weeks, you can't go wrong taking this course. It's not easy so take it seriously, but I think you'll find it less and less of a chore as you get farther into the course to keep up and more just something you want to do.
