Thank you ALL!

As a student for this class I was propelled into the workforce right at the end of the class. Many of the other graduates had the same experience.

This is a fast paced Web Developer based into to everything and into to everything professional Boot Camp. Essentially as a student you need to know these things:

1. How to be prepared? Don't come into this class not knowing how to use a file system, this is a class meant for people who are going to get hired by a professional company after 12 weeks. This class is meant for people who have a good understanding of computers and already have an understanding of programming theory and understand how to read syntax. File system structure is not something you teach in this class. Don't be the student the slows everyone else down then drops out after 1-2 weeks.
2. If you're a potential student of this class DON'T AVOID IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IS A BEGINNER CLASS.
3. This class is focused on making YOU INTO A PROFESSIONAL AFTER 12 WEEKS.
4. Use logic from 3 to come to a reasonable conclusion to what the class is about.

They also prepare you for job interviews and have other professionals in the business speak to the class, in my class:

• Job Coach Professional Sherri Thomas 
• Technical Recruiter at Nextiva Alex Francis
• Melt Media Tech Director Anthony Garone
• Melt Media Hiring Manager Devon Tackett

Sherri is a professional job coach and guided the class on the process of resumes, interviews and job seeking.

Alex works for Nextiva and  spoke to us about professional interviews, what not to do and what to do. Alex also provides help with resumes.

Anthony works for Melt Media and spoke to the class about expectations.

Devon works for Melt Media and gave the graduates a preliminary professional technical interview with feedback.

Some things to expect:

• The class has you build a project, your own website.
• There are some costs involved which the College cant pay for if you want to be able to own the site
• The website will be about you as a programmer.
• If you cant afford it Jeff can let you make one on the MCOR server

Ada Developers Academy ( ADA ) delivers what it says it does. You will receive a top notch education in programming, computer science fundamentals, and preparation for whiteboard style interviewing. You will not be charged tuition and you will receive a stipend at the end of each month of your internship that is the equivalent of 35 hours a week at $15 an hour. Taxes will not be taken out of your check as your role is that of a contractor. Most of your class will have job offers before the cohort ends, but not all, often for reasons not under ADA's ( or the Adies' ) control. You will graduate ready to enter the job market as a junior developer. You will think that you should feel more skilled and experienced once you reach that point but you won't ( what you hope to feel like usually takes 5 years of experience and work to achieve ). You will have a strong network of graduates to lean on and the support of ADA during future job searches and dealing with the challenges that the tech industry brings.

Teaching will usually be spot on, but there will be missteps and errors along the way. You will be doing more independent study than you anticipate. Your instructors ( 2 per 24 students, 1 floating instructor, 1 Jumpstart instructor, a dedicated Computer Science Fundamentals instructor, and an outstanding student counselor ) are supportive, committed to the mission of ADA, and eager for you to succeed, but they are human. Things more very fast and you have to advocate for yourself and your classmates. Sometimes tutoring is available, sometimes not. If you start to fall behind you need to recognize it quickly and get assistance immediately. You may have to go outside of ADA to do that.

You will receive education and training about social justice, including the concerns and challenges of women of color and non-binary individuals. You will be personally be challenged. You will learn things you didn't know about yourself, and didn't necessarily want to know. You will learn that there is difference between ADA and the Adies alumnix. It was the alumnix who made the commitment to "no woman left behind". Students have been expelled from ADA. Not all of us got in on our first try. Some were admitted on their 5th try. There is some Redshirting. You will form some of the strongest friendships of your life, but you won't like everyone. Lateral aggression is minimal, bullying almost non-existent. ADA was worth it, the Adies especially so. But it is hard. The process hurts. It hurts alot. But it was worth it. Eyes open, keep your expectations in check, and it will be amazing. You will be amazing. Apply.

Code Crew CodeSchool provided me with a quality introduction to development in only 6 months! I came from a non-technical background. I had no previous experience with coding but I did have the drive to learn and succeed and that is truly all you need for this program. The class size was ideal! Two instructors, and occasionally teaching assistants, were able to teach and reinforce multiple concepts a day with the bonus of review sessions before and after class. The technical skills and technologies that I learned in the CodeSchool directly contributed to me landing a development internship within months of graduation! The CodeSchool also provided extensive soft skills training and career prep that made me feel more confident with each interview and networking event that I attended. This is still a new program ( I am a graduate of the second cohort) and I see a lot of growth as this already impressive program gains traction in the Memphis tech community! 

• There are some programs available to help with tuition. 
• The tuition cost is very reasonable and they offer Flexible payment options.
• The class size is small which allows the instructor to help students during or after class times. 
• The schedule is very relaxed and designed for people with busy lives. 
• The course is beneficial for all experience levels. You will learn C Sharp (C#) through the course while learning how programming concepts are applied in real world scenarios/ industry.  
• After the course they offer career counseling. 

I worked in marketing for about 3 years and wanted a change and to get more in into the digital realm of marketing. Not to mention I did not take a good holiday in a few years and was looking for places to escape for a bit and found that I can learn web development and live in a wicked place in Mexico for a few months. 

The program helped me find a jr level web development position.
