    Invested Instructors

    After completing SoftStack at the end of 2017, I can see that the experience has positively affected my career. My cohort took place during program shifts and development. What I saw was a program that really matured and improved and continues to do so. Beyond the program, I found the most valuable asset to SoftStack was the environment. There are a few things that make this successful. First, SoftStack has very engaged instructors. SoftStack is a non-profit. The instructors chose to...

    Great Start!

    SoftStack Factory is a great place to start if you want to learn how to code because this program provides with fundamental knowledge of programming. I had zero knowledge and skills of how to code, but just after a few months I’ve made huge progress and started developing web applications. The instructors are very helpful, they are not going to give you an answer right away, but they will help you come to the right answer your...

    Great start for a fraction of the cost

    SoftStack Factory is a fantastic start for anyone looking to transition to a software development career or just learn some programming basics. I recommend doing some free bootcamp prep course before you start the program so you can be solidifying your fundamentals while going through the first phase. This will really be helpful when you start the second phase, as the MEAN Stack course comes at you fast with a lot of new concepts. From the second phase onwards, you will begin building proj...

    I wish I had found this place sooner...

    Attending this bootcamp was an amazing experience. The instructors are incredibly helpful. The atmosphere is expectional. Even if you are not looking to make software development your career, still attend if you want to learn about the web and JavaScript. This place has definitely filled many gaps in my knowledge of programming. I definitely have left this program with strong programming fundamentals.

    It's the beginning of a journey..

    Attending this bootcamp was an amazing experience with a very open staff that genuinely want you to succeed. Your welcomed and encouraged to work on your projects in an environment where you can be nudged in the right direction when stuck and instructed on the proper frame in which to think about problems. As with anything, you'll get what you put in. I've asked and been helped by Peter so many times, almost to the point of abuse!

    That being said, there will be a lot to learn, even...

    SoftStack is a Unique and Amazing Opportunity

    SoftStack is a wonderfulgroup that is very successful in giving people the tools they need to get into development/data/IT/tech. This is not a $10,000 bootcamp that promises you a job, it's a group of hard-working people who like learning and teaching. My experience was incredible and gave me the tools to get into a sweet database job (I do a lot of work in SQL, Excel, and Access) by giving me a strong foundation in web development and problem solving. One of SoftStack's biggest strengths, an...

    Friendl mentors

    Non-profit coding boot camp where you learn how to code in Javascript and pick up basic web development skills.  The boot camp is separated into two parts: eight weeks of study and eight weeks working on a team project.  The boot camp classes are twice a week in the evenings (6:00pm to 10:00pm)  so it’s perfect for people who are studying or working in the day time.  Also since it’s a nonprofit, it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars like the other boot camps in the area and they only ask fo...

    6-Month Part Time Full Stack Web Development

    This bootcamp was a bit of a lifesaver, I couldn't manage working a traditional bootcamp AND working my full-time job, yet was dying to know more about coding and programming. This checked all the boxes for me and actually received more when it came to my expectations for such a bargain of a price. I was able to quickly get to coding and begin creating my own web applications in as little as a few weeks. I did go through the entire course regimen and was asked to stay to gain more experien...

    Ready to get serious?

    When you're done trying to learn on your own through all of the free online resources, this is the place to be. When trying to get up to speed and job ready, this material is where it's easy to hit a wall and find things difficult. The faculty at Softstack will provide the curriculum, but the hard work is still up to you. When you finally succeed after putting in the effort it will be incredibly rewarding. The big difference between Softstack and going it on your own is the faculty. They a...

    Go here!!!

    Compared to other bootcamps, SoftStack is practically free, but unlike most free things, there is no catch. The instructors are great and really care about you. It’s a great environment to learn in. Wish they would offer some sort of advanced MEAN Stack course, I would’ve easily stayed another few months. Looking back, I wish they went deeper into backend stuff, but there’s only so much you can cover in the time allowed. There’s no official career services, but they genuinely care about yo...

    There Really is No Catch

    I had done a fair amount of research looking for a decent bootcamp that didn't cost an arm and a leg so I was well aware of the average cost of a bootcamp and I was sure that there had to be a catch when I first read about Soft Stack. I can assure you that Soft Stack is real, there is no catch and more than that, the instructors and people who run it are deeply invested in the personal growth of the students and the program as a whole. I would recommend this program a hundred times to anyo...

    Great Web Development Bootcamp

    I highly recommend Soft Stack Factory.

    I attended the Softstack Factory cohort that started in July of 2018, I found the program on Facebook where someone had recommended it, I applied because the price was right, I had always been anti bootcamp because to me they all seemed to be like the technical schools you hear horror stories about where they push out graduates that end up with a useless piece of paper and no actual job skills.

    That was not the ex...

    24-week Full stack Javascript program

    I took SoftStack Factory MEAN-Stack Bootcamp this year, and it has been an useful and rewarding educational experience. 

    I would definitely recommend to everyone to take this 24-week Full stack Javascript program, if you want to learn Javascript from scratch and prepare to learn more ways to work with Javascript in the future.

    Course curriculum is the well-structured and provides a solid understanding of core theoretical concepts and their practical applications.
