My name is Jaime Montero, and just like you reading this post, I was trying to find out some information, feedback or reviews about this University of Miami Coding Bootcamp. I didn't find much, but at the end I decided to give it a try.

BEST DECISION EVER!.

My personal experience through this Coding Boot Camp was excellent, and that's what I'm sharing here.

I graduated in October 2018 from the FULL STACK WEB DEVELOPMENT program, started in May 2018 (6 Months).

Halfway through the program I decided to offer my services as a Web Developer; built 2 websites for free and then I got a paid client. At this point, 3 months are enough for you to start building beautiful websites, building up portfolio, and hopefully getting your first clients.

Before graduation I got an offer from the company I currently work at.

The program covers a lot ... I understand, “a lot” it's a very broad and abstract term, but, I mean it, A LOT; from the very basic HTML to functional React Web Applications, from your command prompt to data manipulation and databases, from your first lines of code “Hello World” to dynamic, interactive, responsive and potentially profitable $$$ real world projects.

Career services are great, they will absolutely help you to become employer-ready-competitive, to be more noticeable, and most important, they will guide you through the job search process. 

Instructors are experienced, very knowledgeable and fun, they're in the industry, usually in different fields. which is great, and you get to learn a lot from them.

Thanks to this University of Miami Coding Bootcamp my life has changed for good, it's incredible how 6 months of hard work can transform everything, I got hired by a great company, in a role that I really enjoy and most important, where I'm able to apply everything I have learned.

This experience is just the beginning of a career full of awesomeness, professional growth and tons of lines of code. SUPER RECOMMENDED!

You really have to take it seriously, put the hard hours, study, practice, practice, practice, practice a lot, research, network, go the extra mile!.

University of Miami Coding Bootcamp is a starting point for all those who wish to learn a new career. The program includes the Front-End with a wide deployment of cutting edge technologies such as React, after creating solid bases in html, css, javascript, and the most used frameworks, as well as innumerable practices in the use of the APIs of the most big companies.

The second part of the program covers in depth the development with the MERN stack, with MongoDB as database technology, NodeJS and Express supporting the backend and the integration with the React from the front-end.

The program is taught by professors with more than 10 years of experience and an extra support of technical assistants.

The UM Coding Camp was definitely an experience in which many lessons were learned. First of all, the curriculum was extremely challenging for all the students; even ones with prior coding experience. The timeframe alotted to learn all the information taught was the predominant obstacle most of the students faced. Also, the majority of the data taught had remnants of JavaScript; therefore, anyone wanting to undertake this course would be best served to know a bit (then eventually a lot) about JavaScript. With that said, even though we were all faced with a roller coaster of emotions due to the demands of this course, our guardian and Program Coordinator Chavon was absolutely amazing with her never-ending support, leadership, and understanding. Without her, most of us would probably not finish this course, myself included. Our instructor Jonathan Fields was absolutely fantastic; very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Last but not least, our TA Jonathan Morales was always there for us; always giving a helping hand; always gracious.
