Likewise, the TAs were excellent- Tamara and Mark did everything possible to help anyone- even if it was just being a sounding board or being available all throughout the weekend to help with homework. Teaching staff- awesome.
My problem is with everything else honestly- I feel like this "bootcamp" wasn't really used to it's full potential. When I signed up there seemed to be some sort of evaluation process, but ultimately when I got to class, it was obvious they jus let anyone in- this slowed down the class, and while I feel like I got a lot, I feel I would've gotten way more had it not been for people who honestly didn't care enough to do the hard work or were just not cut out for the job.
My deepest disapointments with the company managing the bootcamp though (it's not managed by UCF, which they only tell you after you start), were the managment and the "career services".
Career services was a joke- it felt like a tacked on fig leaf that the company added because other bootcamps offer it. They would send out "career advice" you can find on google easily and have useless Zoom sessions on Friday nights or during class. John the instructor actually did way more for us in terms of career services (even though that wasn't his job, setting up mock interviews, and even meetups so we can network more easily.
Then there's managment- the first thing that seemed iffy to me was that our Student Success Manager was a student only two cohorts ago, she became a TA and then an SSM within about 6 months- doesn't reek of confidence. I would habitually write long reviews about what I though could improve in the class in our weekly surveys, and never got any replys or notices any changes. One time, after a major incident I will elaborate on later, I had a belly full to say about it but all I wrote was that the surveys felt like shouting into the void so I wasn't going to spend my time. This was the first time I recieved any sort of comment on my survey replys, which seemed rather odd- basically all the constructive critisism is useless but only saying I think you're not doing your job prompts a "let's have chat about how you feel?".
The incident, which probably pissed me off more than it should've, happened in the last third of the class, I think. For the entire course of the class the tone in class was very casual, with some swearing and innapropriate jokes. I don't feel like anything was out of line and anyone was harrased, and honestly most tech companies I had worked with (I have been in the tech scene for about 10 years) had a similar tone, if not cruder. Some of the joking was made during the showcase for our second projects, when one of the projects, a mad-libs app, was shown. Now, there were like two potential employers in the room, who were invited without lewtting us know mind you. Apperently that, combined with the conversational tone we've had in class and on Slack combined with a (pretty tame) meme I had made and posted on said Slack required an official reprimand. It started with the SSM, who for the entire time she was sitting in on the project demos was disrespectfully on her computer, calling us an embarasment. and continued with John, who seemed uncomftrable and like he was made to do this, saying we were stupid, immature, and this will not be tolerated, and then taking responsability for the casual tone we had in class.
This enraged me. If you feel the tone is too conversational- that's fine, come out and say "guys, you're being a little innapropriate let's tone it down". But I don't feel immature, I don't feel stupid, I've had professional high paying corporate jobs, I've sat across the table from C and V level executives at major companies- and they all speak that way and they all like to have a good laugh, specifically internally within teams. Calling us an embarassment was a tone def move that mis understood the point of the class- either to teach things in the easiest way possible- making a comftrable enviroment being part of it, or preparing us for tech life- which is totally as innapropriate. I think it was completelty misshandled and we were treated as elementary school kids must less adult, paying, customers.
I can keep going but you get the picture- overall- amazing instructor and TAs, tone def company that does the minumum it feels is required from it.

I signed up for the first part-time Data bootcamp in September 2018. I think this was the best opportunity for me, as I prefer in-class to online learning. It was a great learning experience and we had a good group of students for group project. We had different strengths and helped us work well as a team.

I signed up for the first part-time Data bootcamp in September 2018. I think this was the best opportunity for me, as I prefer in-class to online learning. It was a great learning experience and we had a good group of students for group project. We had different strengths and helped us work well as a team.
Sondra as an instructor was engaging and friendly and helpful. The skills learnt eventually helped me to make the career switch I wanted. It was hard work as I stayed up for late nights for projects. It was all worth it at the end. All the TA's and career services were also helpful, and I hope the job market improves in the Orlando area but things seem to be looking up.
I think this is great for people in colleges to learn job-relevant skills and also for people like me who needed some different skills to switch role to my interest. I would highly recommend this Bootcamp to people looking for courses in this area.

This is a review on the online "Coding Bootcamp" from UCF. It really should be called "Web Development Bootcamp." It says "Web Development" on their website https://bootcamp.ce.ucf.edu/coding/ but I did not see this page when signing up for the class.

This is a review on the online "Coding Bootcamp" from UCF. It really should be called "Web Development Bootcamp." It says "Web Development" on their website https://bootcamp.ce.ucf.edu/coding/ but I did not see this page when signing up for the class. This program was a referral to me from a family member and I talked with a recruiter for the class over the phone. I told her what I was looking for (mostly interested in C++ or other low-level programming) but she did not make it clear that it was a web development program. After a little over a month with the six-month program and realizing the direction of it, I wrote a dissatisifed email to the program director asking to be removed with a refund and was told I was not within the 2-week cancellation period so nothing could be done for a refund. I dropped the course still and tried to salvage my investment by speaking with the Career Director to see if I could use their Career Services (helping you set up self-marketing and networking to find work) for IT in general and was told "as a matter of policy, I am unable to work with students who do not complete the program." This was a complete waste of $10,000 which is especially crippling when I am still trying to even start a career.
As for the content of the course, it explains the basics of programming very nicely in the first several lessons where you are given coding challenges to try to solve basic and intermediate mathematical and logical problems within the Ruby language. After that, though, is the HTML section which is horrendously short for what is supposed to be a web development course. The HTML lessons are very rushed to get you into the Ruby on Rails section which is a large portion of the course. You start frequently seeing in the lessons "how this works isn't important" or "this will be explained later" ("later" often being a synonym for "never") which is honestly fine for teaching practices in very subtle moderation but when so much explaination of how Ruby on Rails and HTML works is skipped over and rushed to get you to the end of the class that it becomes so difficult to follow. I found myself looking up my own tutorials online and just clicking the next within the bootcamp website beacause the teaching material just was not there. I did not get far enough into the course to see how teaching Javascript was handled but it's good to see that it's included because Ruby on Rails is a very niche and not widely used framework whereas Javascript is a useful skill in many, many more jobs.
If you are looking to start in web development and make web pages this may be a good choice for you. Personally it's not what I wanted to do. The main reason for the low review is that the bootcamp staff seems to care more about taking your money and keeping it than they are concerned about helping you start a career. Now I have a $10,000 student debt and no job to pay it off. For this reason I will never recommend UCF's programs to anyone.

I've been working as an IT technician for my current company for over a year. I was looking into growing with the company and I was told Web Development was the way to go.

So far this has been a great help and experience. The pace is fast and to the point, great instructors and assistance. I've learned a lot and fast. It has help me feel more confident when speaking about moving to the developing team at my company and they are already starting to give me projects while I continue to learn at the bootcamp.
If you arae planning to learn coding a bootcamp is a great choice but be aware that is a lot of work and fast paced environment. Be ready to spend a lot of time coding and researching. Time flies and you will have a valuable new skill.

I have been programming for more years than many of my classmates have been alive... I know this because I finished a final release of my first turn key application just before my son was born, and he is at the far end of the millennials.
Well, I love programming (I will disavow this while debugging at 3 a.m.) but my 'first language' is MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 by way of FoxPro, FoxPro for Mac, FoxBASE, and dBase III. And now those languages rank with Sanskrit. I wanted to learn th...
I have been programming for more years than many of my classmates have been alive... I know this because I finished a final release of my first turn key application just before my son was born, and he is at the far end of the millennials.
Well, I love programming (I will disavow this while debugging at 3 a.m.) but my 'first language' is MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 by way of FoxPro, FoxPro for Mac, FoxBASE, and dBase III. And now those languages rank with Sanskrit. I wanted to learn the languages of the web. I wanted to be able to build applications of the same complexity and usefulness there. Lots of resources on line...lots of books in my library. Maybe too many. Where to begin?
I attended a local meet up of Girls Do IT, and had a long conversation with a delightful young woman who was 2 weeks away from finishing the UCF Full-Stack Web Development Boot Camp. “It is intense,” she said, “but I’ve learned SO much.”
I did some research and made the awesome commitment to sign away half a year (and a not insignificant amount of money) to attend. I am now at the half-way point, and consider this to be the best investment in my skill set since I got my MS in Computer Information Systems at NSU. I am confident that Trilogy has taken the pulse of the industry. They are teaching the skills that local employers are looking for. The course builds from front end to back end tools and crafts exercises that cement concepts and build muscle memory. They don’t go too deep, but make sure you understand the place each tool holds. The instructors I’ve had are in the industry and know that they are training employees they will want on their teams.
The pace is furious… Don’t miss a class. Do every exercise. Watch every video resource. Do the tutorials. Get a good study with your classmates. Leave enough time – more time than you think – to do the homework. But when you do, pieces begin to fall into place. You may not realize it at the time, but when you see a tool or technique again (and you will) you’ll realize that you understand it. And that will give you confidence in your ability to learn the next new tool, and the next; development is constantly evolving.
By the time I’ve completed the course, I am confident that I will be able to take my skills in analysis and design, and implement them on the web. A new tool set, a new platform, a new way to solve the puzzle.

This program delivered all that it stated in the beginning, and more. I started the program with minimal experience (mostly HTML) and I won't sugar-coat it - it was tough all the way through. I learned more than I ever thought possible and while I am not quite an expert in some of the more technical languages, I feel sufficiently equipt to work with them moving forward. The instruction was great, and having the TA's in class was instrumental many times when you needed that extra assista...

I learned more than I ever thought possible and while I am not quite an expert in some of the more technical languages, I feel sufficiently equipt to work with them moving forward. The instruction was great, and having the TA's in class was instrumental many times when you needed that extra assistance, or just another perspective. I did not participate in the Career Services portion as I completed this program as part of my existing employment, although I was very impressed with the level of support and guidance they offered from the beginning. Be prepared to work hard both in and outside the classroom, as I put in at least 20 hours a week beyond class. That said, I highly recommend this program for those wanting to learn more about web development (front and back end), and for those with experience seeking additional knowledge and guidance.
