I have been working jobs my whole life that just paid the bills. After this class, I have the confidence to start a career that is exciting and creative. I have taken a lot of online classes that jump into Html, CSS, or Javascript without showing how to set up a coding environment. This class starts for the beginning. The staff started with Terminal and GitHub so that you are set up to succeed. Then it builds on those basics with Html, CSS, and Javascript. One of the best things I learned in this class is the single page app by leveraging Javascript to render your page. So that the browser does not have to keep sending requests to the server. This class also teaches object-oriented programming (OOP). This lays down the foundation for understanding many other languages as well as your continued education in Javascript. The teacher and staff are second to none. They are always available on slack to help you with any problems that you might have during and even after the class is over. The one thing that surprised me most about the class is the army of recruiters that are there to help you and guide you into finding not just a new job bought a new career in coding. I recommend this class to anyone no matter what your skill level is. I started this class with little to no understanding of JavaScript. I am now able to talk to potential employers and other coders with confidence and I can't thank them enough for this. Thanks for reading Phillip Temple

Savvy Coders is knowledgeable, personal, and flexible -- exactly what I was looking for in a boot camp. Even though they didn't have many reviews, I decided to join after going to their intro class. These are scheduled every so often and it's a great way to see how Alex (the lead instructor) teaches. He's great at communicating some very difficult concepts, and strikes a great balance between explanation and hands-on coding. Before the boot camp I was worried about course content, since Savvy Coders' marketing materials are a little bit scant. However, the course is very well designed to get you "over the hump:" you will become comfortable with not only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but also things like version control (using git), the command line interface, the architecture of the web, AJAX, and APIs. Alex is also full of good advice about coding and freelancing, and will drill good habits into you. You'll walk away with everything you need to set out on your own, start building, or further your education.
I came into the course with some familiarity with programming concepts like like loops and flow control, but there was never a time that I felt like the pace was too slow. Like every boot camp, it requires a desire to dig in and actively research some of the material. However, the instructors are very helpful and responsive if you get stuck. The schedule (6-9 pm) is perfect for working people, and I was always jazzed to go to class. It's (currently) held at a great location (the CIC building, 4240 Duncan Ave) that has lots of networking events, which you're strongly encouraged to attend.
Even after graduation, instructors remained available for questions, and the cohort stayed in contact while we worked towards our demo day. There was certainly an effort to get employers in the door at the event, but Savvy Coders is still a relatively unknown program and turnout was so-so. There is no job guarantee upon graduation, but that's not to say there was a shortage of opportunity for the competent and motivated. Elaine (the founder) does a good job of passing along opportunities as they come to her. For my own part, I was happy in my current job and was satisfied with the number of connections I made at the demo day event.
The upshot: I'm super glad I took this boot camp, would do it again if I had to start all over, and would consider taking an advanced class if they offered one. That's the highest praise I can give.

Challenging, Great experience, helpful.
I had a great experience learning with Savvy. It was definitely challenging, especially with my work schedule and often feeling exhausted, but the TAs were incredibly supportive and pushed me to do my best. John Puskas, my TA, was great. He took the time to ensure I fully understood concepts I struggled with in class. He didn’t just explain things—he broke down every line of code, helping me grasp what it was doing and even encouraging me to think outside the box. I gave them 4 starsI had a great experience learning with Savvy.

More collaboration would better prepare students for real-world teamwork, Other than that everything else was great.Overall, my experience was rewarding. Most importantly, I came out of the program better than when I started. I can now build my own projects and bring my ideas to life. Of course, there’s still so much more to learn, but Savvy provided a strong foundation for this new journey I’m on. - Ethan KriegGraduate • Full Stack Web Development • OnlineJul 18, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing staff, great curriculum, and flexible classes
I couldn’t say enough good things about my time at Savvy Coders. I had no hands-on technical experience coming into the bootcamp, but through Savvy's prework and curriculum, I now have a great foundation to kick off my new career in tech. The whole staff truly cares about your success in the bootcamp and in your new career path. If you are serious about transitioning to a career in tech and are committed to putting in the work, look no further because you are in the right place! - Braydon OlingerFull Stack Web Developer • Graduate • Full Stack Web Development • OnlineJun 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An overall great experience!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Savvy Coders. I came in with zero experience in writing code, and they were able to cater specifically to my needs. The instructors were patient and able to blend teaching with helping very seamlessly.
Steph, Barbe, Laurie, and everyone else on the admin side of the operation were amazing as well. They did a great job in assisting us with resume building, job searching, and overall course support. - Molly SeelGraduate • Cybersecurity • St. LouisJun 17, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Cybersecurity bootcamp
Cybersecurity was the boot camp of my choosing. The reason I chose cybersecurity over the other classes was because I have been personally cyber attacked and hacked and I wanted to get more knowledge on how I could prevent those things from happening to anyone else. This course was very knowledgeable and fun. You learn so much about being in the IT help roles and using tools to advance your skills to better your future.

Great Curriculum, Instructors, and Career Services
The course was excellent. I started learning python in my job because I needed it as a skill. I decided to seek professional training to broaden those skills and I don't regret it one bit. You get what you put into the course, and I'd highly encourage any future students to spend additional time on the pre-work so that you can get more out of the course.
In general with this course though you will get what you put in. The more serious, engaged, and inquisitive you are, the better ...The course was excellent.
