I gained confidence in different forms. I gained the knowledge of programming. I gained the knowledge of how to research and find solutions to issues. I gained the confidence to know I will find out how to overcome an error/issue as long as I keep searching and don't give up! I have gained a new Junior Software Developer position at a company that shares similar values and goals. I gained some new friends that have helped me reach the goal of learning how to code and becoming a developer. How has what you learned at The Tech Academy helped you with your transition? The Tech Academy help me to dive in head first in to coding by making me find the answers/solutions myself instead of just giving me the answers/solutions. It helped teach me how to keep trying until I succeed by the encouragement of the instructors. What do you think of the curriculum? I really liked the diversity and amount of the languages learned. The Tech Academy offered more languages than many other bootcamps. I really wish the HTML, CSS and JavaScript classes combined to make a solid personal website. I feel that at the end of the bootcamp I should have a dynamically functioning website/page that I could use as a portfolio. I would have liked a personal website to be an actual assignment that is pass/fail. I thought the Database/SQL class video series by Joes to Pros was the best out of any course. I also really would have like more Coding Challenges. I thought the coding challenge was a great way to display my skills and work on a small project with a deadline. How has it benefited you so far? I start a new Junior Software Developer position in March. The Tech Academy helped me get this job by teaching me programming and effective error research. The live project class helped me put together all of the skills I learned throughout the bootcamp which allowed me to solidify my skills. The job placement department helped connect me with past successful graduates and was vital in my preparation for the interview process. What things do you like most about the program? Amount of languages, decent price, online convenience, part time convenience, instructor encouragement and guidance, job placement support and guidance, live project real world experience, coding challenges, simple student newsletter, the online guest were pretty good too. All in all I am very pleased with the outcome of this bootcamp which is being offered a junior developer position with a great company.Danny Condon of The Tech Academy
