I decided that I wanted to change my career path and get into web development. My background was electronics and I wanted to do more software where I could could use creative problem solving instead of "make this thing that's broken work like it used to."

I decided that I wanted to change my career path and get into web development. My background was electronics and I wanted to do more software where I could could use creative problem solving instead of "make this thing that's broken work like it used to." I looked around and read a lot of reviews for numerous boot camps and in the end, I picked this one because:
A) It had very high reviews
B) The curriculum was reviewed by UT, thus having its "stamp of approval"
C) The curriculum is also reviewed by members of the tech industry, allowing for it to adapt to the changing needs of employers
D) It was Post 9/11 GI Bill approved (a big plus)
Curriculum (4.5 stars):
Overall the curriculum was very good. We started with the basics (HTML, CSS) and worked our way up through JavaScript, Ajax, jQuery, Node.js, SQL and Sequelize, NoSQL and MongoDB, React, React Native, PHP, and other technology. As stated below, this course was not designed to teach you everything but introduce you to these web technologies just enough that you understand what they are and how they are used. The course ensures that you also have a pretty good portfolio by the end of it via homework assignments. It was not uncommon for many of us to go back and redo some of them after we graduated once we had more experience. If anything, it creates a really good starting point for the creating of an impressive portfolio.
My overall biggest criticism is that I felt that there could be a few days more devoted to JavaScript, considering how it's practically the cornerstone of the course (and web development). My second would be that, while the curriculum creation team knows the material well, it shows throughout the course and the examples that they don't have a lot of experience teaching. This can lead to lessons that fly a little too easily over some of the heads in class. Luckily, the instructor and TA's help ensure that this is only temporary. Thirdly, I feel there needs to be more communication during the weeks following up to the start date, with tips on what to brush up on every week or two weeks, giving those who sign up way in advance a better understanding on what they can do to prepare.
Instructors (5 stars):
Awesome instructors and TA's. Our instructor was very knowledgable about everything in the course and then some. His vast, real-world experience in web development allowed for him to teach and mentor us in not just the subjects but also about the industry itself. He, and the TA's, did an excellent job explaining things in a way that make them click. They also devoted time outside of class to help us if we needed it. Plus they provide feedback that helps make your assignments better and where they can go from there.
Job Assistance (5 stars):
Excellent job search preparation and assistance. Throughout the course, you will start to prep your resume, tweek/create your online presence, and practice for interviews for the eventual day that you start applying for jobs. They help you with all these aspects and continue to do so after the course is over by providing networking events weekly, giving webinars on various job search topics, and providing weekly one-on-one time to see how your progress is going and give advice on how to snag your first gig. While they will put in your resume for certain jobs where they have established a connections, the job hunt will still be 99% on you. They just provide excellent advice, assistance, and help direct you where the jobs could be hiding.
Advice for new booters:
This is an intense course. They continually tell you it will be like drinking from a fire hose. The purpose of this boot camp is not to teach you everything. Its job is to expose you to and teach you enough of different web technologies that you'll be able to know what they do, how they work (and work together), and just how much you still need to learn on your own. This boot camp (in fact most of them) are meant to help you dip your toes into the vast ocean of web development.
Just remember, in web development and in this course:
1) Everyone has to start from the beginning. Don't beat yourself up for not knowing a lot. Just take great notes and make a plan for how you're going to continue educating yourself.
2) You don't know everything. You never will. Nobody does. Nobody is going to judge you on your knowledge/skill level. As long as you constantly striving forward toward the goal of improving yourself, nobody is going to think less of you. If you run into somebody who does, they are the 1% in the industry that are nothing but sad, little people so don't waste your time with them.
3) DO NOT GIVE UP! I mean it. This course is hard. You will have to devote ALL your time to get the most from this course. On average, I spent 40 hours a week outside of class working on the assignments. It was worth it. Don't quit! It doesn't get easier but you do get used to it.
4) Ask for help and help others. Web development is more than just technology; its also about communication and teamwork. There will be some things that don't make sense to you and that's fine; ask one of your classmates who does. Same goes the other direction; help others when you can. You can create some very strong and lasting relationships with this course so take advantage of it. Also, nobody likes an a-hole who doesn't help others when they can.
5) Don't stop once you've graduated. You will never stop learning and the only way you're going to one day get that dream job is to work hard and get good. I spent 50% of my time job searching, 30% working on my portfolio, and the last 20% on diving deeper into a technology. Don't make the mistake of spending 3 months learning and working hard just to stop and let it all slip away.
Overall/TLDR (4.75 stars):
Worth it. I quit my job to devote 40+ hours a week for 3 months to learn web development and change careers. I would do it all over again. They have an excellent curriculum with the UT's blessing, awesome instructors who understand how to help you learn, and amazing job assistance that give you more than enough tools to find your first job. It doesn't teach you everything; it only teaches you enough to know where your deeper learning needs to start. It may be like drinking from a fire hose but you get used to it. You get out what you put in and when you put in all you've got, you get a great coding boot camp.

My degree is in Economics and my first job out of school was in NYC at a large financial institution. It was a great first job but I learned that I would thrive more in a startup culture at that time so I called my friend who was the CEO and Founder of Super Coffee and we met for coffee one morning.

My degree is in Economics and my first job out of school was in NYC at a large financial institution. It was a great first job but I learned that I would thrive more in a startup culture at that time so I called my friend who was the CEO and Founder of Super Coffee and we met for coffee one morning. I told him I wanted to do what he was doing. Build something from the ground up. He thought I would be a great fit in Food & Beverage and two weeks later he offered me a job, which was to build an ecommerce Wholesale Program.
In this role, I loved identifying who my target audience was, pitching the products, gathering feedback, negotiating pricing and even some exclusive distribution agreements. In 6 months, we had over 500 SMB customers and brand partnerships with Barry's Bootcamp, Solidcore, & SoulCycle.
In March, 2020 our company signed a Master Distribution Agreement with Anheuser Busch InBev and I was promoted to Director of Brand Operations. My job was to serve as the singular interface between senior leadership at both companies. It was in this role that I discovered my passion for executing start-to-end project plans that align with company priorities and synergize cross functional teams, key stakeholders, and workflows. After two wildly successful years, we accomplished the mission and fully integrated with AB InBev's systems, processes, and tech platforms and partnered with over 400 distributors nationwide selling over $100M in Super Coffee.
Around February 2022, I was in Pennsylvania visiting family and my dad and I were eating breakfast together. He's been programming for 40 years and it got me thinking. Why hadn't I ever thought to try? Genetically, maybe I'd be good?! The next morning, I was targeted with an ad on Twitter for UT Austin's Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp so I thought, what the hell, and applied. Sure enough, I was soon accepted and was pressed with a decision to make. After having conversations with my family and girlfriend, I decided to take the leap so I resigned from my job and enrolled.
We are just over the halfway point of the bootcamp and I can confidently say it was the right decision. This experience has been such a blessing in my life! It has given me the career clarity I needed. I intend on blending my experience as an enthusiastic and effective Project Manager with my blooming technical skillset to pivot into a Product Management position!
Overall, I've had such a positive experience with The Coding Boot Camp at UT Austin. Our instructor is wicked smart and breaks complicated concepts down in a way that allows us to internalize them easier. The rest of the instructional staff is top notch as well; and last but certainly not least, our Student Success Manager, who is always there for support! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my amazing tutor, who has played a huge role in my development as well.
My favorite aspect about the program is unequivocally my cohort. We have such a diverse, talented, kind, and fun group. I am super grateful for you all for organizing study groups to iron down tougher concepts, sending funny memes in Slack and Discord channels, and always being there to help.
Advice I would give to other prospective students to ensure success:
