Learn REST at These 133 REST Bootcamps

I am not an average student. At the ripe old age of 59, I decided to pick up some new skills before hitting 60, and against the advice of a number of colleagues and friends I deliberately opted for what I imagined would be the toughest course around: a Software Engineering Bootcamp.  I like a challenge.

I had limited computer science knowledge, but have been a technophile for decades, and unlike in my previous career as a TV producer, where creating anything requires vast resources, I was enticed by the idea of creating super cool software with nothing more than a laptop.

I chose BRAINSTATION largely because, among its activities, it offers on-campus, in person courses.  Every student is different, but for me the thought of on-line courses, where you could easily drift off unnoticed, was a real turn off. It proved to be a very good choice, suited me perfectly, and lived up to all my expectations. BrainStation is not cheap, but you're investing in the most important thing: your own future. In my opinion it was entirely worth it.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE
The campus is small, but modern and in the heart of Shoreditch. It has a great vibe that constantly exudes ambition, belief, and a love of tech. There is a strong community spirit that is enriching and loaded with positivity. It's an environment that is proud of its achievements, and that in itself is infectious.

INSTRUCTORS
We had exceptional instructors and teaching assistants. They know their stuff inside out, but more importantly, they know how to communicate it with clarity an enthusiasm, and are always available for those invaluable one-to-one sessions for nailing tricky concepts, or just for general support. Their personal touch and personalised tuition was, for me, the most impressive aspect of the course. I was in a class of people who were mainly not just younger than me, but also considerably smarter. It could have been a ghastly, humiliating experience, but the reality was the exact opposite. The instructors' support, the way they take enjoyment from sharing their knowledge, and the way they deal with each student's individual ability is inspiring and truly motivating. Thanks to that, I passed the course!  I was also fortunate to be in a class of kind hearted students who were all brimming with determination.

CURRICULUM
The course is thorough and largely up to date. We had intense daily lectures, code-alongs, hackathons, and personal projects, as you would expect. These were well structured to take students from the basics to more advanced Javascript, HTML, React, Node, Express, etc. In a fast moving world, it's obviously difficult to keep up with every new development, but BrainStation seems to make quite an effort to regularly revise the course content. It was an exhausting course, however, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone unable to devote all their energies to it. My only criticisms are that I wished the course had been a little longer. By the time the final weeks were upon us and we were immersed in our final projects, I found it hard to grapple with some of the heavy weight back-end modules. I would have loved more tuition on server-side topics, and an introduction to Python would have been useful. But in 12 weeks, it's impossible to fit everything in. Since the course, I have learned some Python, C#, and .NET techniques, and the programming sensibilities I picked up at BrainStation certainly made that easier.  

JOB ASSISTANCE
Very good. The career advice staff are knowledgeable, well connected, tenacious, and generous with their help and support. The rate at which students find post course employment is obviously a crucial metric in the success or failure of a college - especially one that defines itself as preparing students for the workplace.  I found that at BrainStation, career Advice was central to the course. And it continued for a full six months after the course finished. It's taken seriously and is not a tick-box tag-on that it could be in less conscientious organisations.    

SUMMARY
As a stepping stone into a career in tech, or as a way to simply build a foundation in software development knowledge, BrainStation is, in my opinion, very good indeed. I have no experience of other tech colleges, so I don't have any benchmarks to make comparisons with, but I am now confident in my software writing abilities, have built apps from scratch that work, and I followed up the Software Engineering Bootcamp with a short course in UX Design - also at BrainStation, London. That was also a tremendously rewarding course, taught in person on campus by excellent instructors who shared their knowledge and valuable industry experience with skill and panache.  

Will a BrianStation course get you a job and/or a new career? No - no course can do that, but this college can certainly help you make the most of your attributes.  

I'm currently enrolled in the Data Analytics course at CareerFoundry, and my experience so far has been very positive. The course has exceeded my expectations in terms of content and depth. I was initially looking for a program that would help me transition into a data-focused role, and CareerFoundry has delivered on that front. The curriculum is well-structured, starting with the basics and gradually building up to more complex topics, which has allowed me to gain a solid understanding of data analytics concepts.

The hands-on projects have been particularly beneficial, as they’ve helped me apply what I've learned in a practical context. The support from tutors and mentors has also been excellent, with timely feedback and personalized guidance that has kept me on track.

Although I haven’t yet reached the stage of job placement, I feel well-prepared for the upcoming challenges. CareerFoundry promises to assist with job preparation and placement, which is a critical component for me. I plan to update this review once I complete the course and have more insights into the job search process and how effectively the program supports its graduates in landing a job in the field of data analytics. So far, I’m impressed and excited about what’s ahead.

I was part of a January 2024 cohort (Sundays and weeknights) and I found the course to be engaging and fulfilling. A big factor in that was the small cohort size. With only 7 other people in the class, we all got to know each other well and spend plenty of time working together to solve problems and help each other out every day. In fact, I've become friends with 2 others in the class, and we plan to hold each other accountable in our job search and continuous learning.

A special shoutout is well-deserved to Peter Jang, the instructor. He was funny, had lessons that were easy to understand, and had an positive attitude that was a great motivator. He was always willing to answer any questions we asked or even offered to stay late after class to help out with tougher issues.

I also appreciated the "job hacking" portion of the class where we spent an hour every week learning how to network, get interviews, and land jobs. An hour might not sound like a lot, but we also had homework that forced us out of our comfort zone in order to get connections and find the right jobs for us.

After 5 months in the cohort, I definitely see the improvements. I couldn't see myself learning how to do a CRUD app or realizing that I love backend way more than frontend code before the beginning of the course. Now, I have multiple side projects that I want to tackle, and it's possible to do so because of the foundation created during the bootcamp.

I'm still looking for jobs, but I definitely wouldn't be as confident in my search now if it wasn't for the bootcamp and the support from instructors and classmates.

Everyone involved at Tech Elevator makes it very clear they care about you and your success the whole way through. From when you start to the day you get a job, they are there every step of the way. All you need to do is try and put in the effort and they'll carry you the rest of the way. You'll make good friends and trust me when I say everyone is probably feeling the same nerves and anxieties as you. Just reach out to your classmates or instructors and you'll get the help you need.

 I recently completed the UI/UX Bootcamp at Hacktiv8, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The program is meticulously designed to cover the essential aspects of UI/UX design, from the basics to more advanced topics, making it suitable for beginners as well as those looking to refine their skills.  The instructors are industry professionals with a wealth of experience, and they bring real-world insights into the classroom. Their teaching methods are clear and engaging, and they are always willing to provide extra help when needed. One of the highlights of the bootcamp is the hands-on approach. Rather than just focusing on theory, Hacktiv8 ensures that students get plenty of practice.  Overall, I found the UI/UX Bootcamp at Hacktiv8 to be a comprehensive and practical learning experience. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to break into the UI/UX field or enhance their existing skills. The support from the instructors and the collaborative environment made the learning process enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about pursuing a career in UI/UX design. 

An amazing bootcamp. I have tried to learn to code before using a combination of sits but nothing really stuck with me and it was hard to keep motivated and it was hard to see any progress. I have only been using Skillcrush for 1 week and I feel like I have months of experience as a coder. The lessons are superb, they walk you through everything in a way that helps you understand. and there is always an instructor just a message away to help you with any issues. honestly words cant do Skillcrush justice !! I only wish I had found this bootcamp sooner. 10 out of 10 for sure.

Before starting with The Tech Academy, I had a passion for getting into the tech field, but was very scared. After taking time to really learn from their course and with the help of their team, I gained the knowledge and skills necessary to feel confident in my ability to get into tech. Now, I am excited for the future and my first position in the tech field!

I've been working at a company for 10 years. I had a low income and worked long hours, which left me feeling exhausted. I decided to make a significant change for my future, so I quit my job and chose to learn coding to change my career. I spent a lot of time selecting the right coding school. Given my situation, I had to consider many factors to choose the right bootcamp.

I'm not young anymore, and I don’t have enough savings. Therefore, I didn't want to waste any more time. I needed to find the right school and move forward to improve my future. I chose Tripleten, and I am still studying. I've been studying for over 3 months now. The more I study, the more satisfied I am with my decision to join the bootcamp.

Initially, I was very afraid that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the class because I am an absolute beginner in coding. However, the structure of the courses is well-organized and easy to follow for beginners. Whenever I have a question, they respond quickly. They have a supportive team that helps my concerns and questions as soon as possible. Each sprint requires me to submit projects, which helps improve my coding skills. They set deadlines for the projects but offer reasonable time to complete them.

Additionally, they have an amazing support team for their career program. They provide a lot of useful information on job searching and offer support for my career. I am starting to prepare for the job market soon. If I had to prepare on my own, I would definitely feel overwhelmed, but I feel relieved knowing I have support. I am proud of how well I’m doing so far. If you are in a similar situation, I strongly recommend this bootcamp.

Product Gym has everything about getting a product manager job down to a science, though you have to do the work to succeed. How to write a resume and how to interview (every step of the way, every kind of interview), including specific interview types, are all explained. The FAANG companies are covered, as well as specific types of interviews along each step of the process. There are regular coaching calls, and many different ways to practice. If you want a product management job, this is the place to go to get one.

Great feeling when it's done, how these challenges shape your way of thinking to solve different problems. Engaging in these exercises not only sharpens your problem-solving skills but also instils a sense of accomplishment. The structured approach to tackling diverse challenges each week broadens your perspective and enhances your adaptability. It's amazing to see how each challenge contributes to personal growth, fostering creativity and resilience. Overall, it's an enriching experience that not only improves technical prowess but also moulds you into a more resourceful and confident individual.

The first time I called them I thought they were a scam LOL but then they started to explain what they were all about and everything began to sink in. I hope everyone who reads this that are thinking about going this career route has an opportunity to talk to them and check out what an amazing school they are. They will help you throughout the whole program, is not a moment that are going to feel alone. This is a life-changing decision and they would make it fun and dynamic to learn it and be part of the experience. BTW I hate writing reviews but they deserve every word and this would change everyone's lives. 

I am thrilled to share my experience with the online software engineering bootcamp at HyperionDev, which I am set to graduate from later this month. The program has been an incredible journey, providing me with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the tech industry.

The curriculum is well-designed and covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental programming concepts to advanced software development techniques. The online format allowed me to learn at my own pace while still providing ample support from the instructors, who were always available to clarify doubts and provide guidance.

One of the highlights of the bootcamp is the focus on individual projects, which allowed me to dive deep into coding and develop my problem-solving skills. Each project was relevant and challenging, pushing me to think critically and apply what I learned in a practical setting.

HyperionDev also emphasizes career readiness, offering valuable resources such as resume workshops and interview preparation, which have greatly boosted my confidence as I prepare to enter the job market.

Overall, I highly recommend HyperionDev's bootcamp to anyone looking to start a career in software engineering. I am excited about my future and grateful for the solid foundation I have gained through this program!

I recently completed the full-time data science bootcamp at WBS Coding School. Without any 2nd thought I rate the experience from admission till course completion the best one.
What I liked was the way this course was structured, ensuring all the  key topics were taught to us related to data science along with some advanced topics like machine learning and gen-ai.
The instructors were really cheerful and experienced and supported all of us through our tough times. Besides the syllabus, they also provided a lot of external resources to make sure we reached to the depths of the topic. This course has definitely helped me equip strong data science skills.
The career services team supported the students with CV writing and job-interview preparation. Overall the entire staff at WBS was supportive throughout these 4 months of time period.

Before joining this bootcamp, I was very hesitant. I didn't have any experience on coding, but gave it a shot because I wanted to shift to the tech industry. Best decision I ever made! The instructors here and TAs are the kindest and really thrives for every individual to learn, they won't make you feel any less if you're having a hard time understanding, they are very hands one. One of my favorite things that they offer was unlimited one on ones! This really helped me when I was falling behind on some exercise and projects! They also offer Career Services where you can do Mock interviews, get help fixing your resume, and basically molding you to be job ready! Other than that, this is one of the most affordable bootcamps that I've seen while I was researching. They offer many payment plans that fits your budget. And I took the live classes, which was only 9 weeks, compared to other bootcamps that usually take 3 to 6 months. Overall experience 10/10! and I'll be graduating tomorrow!!

Test Pro is a wonderful online course, very well organized and designed, and provides priceless practical knowledge. Great slides and material recommendations. Especially I like that it has online live classes and video recordings and a lot of real project practice which gives you knowledge and confidence. Test Pro teachers prepare you for the real interview. The main aim is to get knowledge and find the job of your dream and Test pro will help you on your way. I highly recommend Test Pro boot camp as the best boot camp I ever attended. Thank you!

i’ts very good platform for learning coding skills with job guarantee program i have also joined in attainu and now placed at good company. They helped me a lot. Highly skilled instructor teach us from scratch to advance. Highly recommended

Mi experiencia ha sido muy positiva, fueron meses muy intensos donde me enfoqué 100% y tuvo su recompensa, ayudó mucho sentirme acompañada durante todo el proceso y también después! En la búsqueda laboral Mel Zwanck me ayudó tanto que aún sigo guardando sus consejos y además tenemos la suerte de poder seguir contactando con el equipo si necesitamos algo. Una vez dentro del mundo laboral tech me di cuenta que sales muy bien preparada en comparación con otros bootcamps, te enseñan herramientas técnicas pero también soft skills. Podrás defenderte perfectamente en tu primer trabajo si te dejas aconsejar y confías en el método de la academia. Acabé ya hace unos meses y hace otros tantos que estoy trabajando como programadora, entonces puedo decir con seguridad que recomiendo 4geeks.

Overall my experience with TECH IS, has been a challenging learning curve for me. Even though I've had challenges, there has always been a tutor available to answer any doubts or questions we may have. Special shoutout to my tutor Taufeeq for making this learning process attainable, and for being fun and not robotic within this 6 month timeframe.

...ma niente! Se penso a quello che sono riuscito ad imparare in soli 6 mesi neanche ci credo.
Il metodo Boolean funziona, ma richiede comunque tanto impegno e tanta voglia.
Fin da subito acquisirai un metodo di studio e di lavoro che ti consentira' di apprendere le basi della programmazione in pochissimo tempo.

Sarai seguito tutti i giorni da 2 tutor, che a chiamata potranno intervenire se avessi bisogno di aiuto con le esercitazioni pomeridiane, questa possibilita' rende anche le parti piu' difficili del percorso comunque non insormontabili, e ti consente di vedere un approccio al codice diverso da quello del docente che tiene lezione alla mattina.
Conoscerai i tuoi compagni, grazie ad eventi pomeridiani e lavori di gruppo.

Passerai sicuramente 6 mesi intensi, ma anche leggeri, dove potrai pensare a te stesso e prendere una grande rincorsa per poi far ripartire la tua carriera alla grande.
Infine il career service ti preparera' ad entrare nel mondo del lavoro, curando i tuoi profili ed il tuo CV alla perfezione.

Nel momento in cui scrivo questa recensione e' appena terminato il progetto finale previsto dal corso, e domani avro' il mio primo colloquio con una delle piu' grandi software house in Italia, essere stato uno studente Boolean puo' avere influito?
Questo lo lascio intuire a voi.
6 mesi fa ero un operaio edile.

Mi sento di dire che in ambito formativo Boolean e' stata la miglior scelta della mia vita, straconsiglio.

This course took me on an exhilarating coding journey, where learning became a thrilling adventure through hands-on, real-world projects that made programming both engaging and enjoyable. Through this course i learned how to adequately program applications with the use of C#, SQL databases and ASP.NET Frameworks.

This school is laid out perfectly not to mention it offers every possible technique there is to learn each topic. The adviser's check on you. Because they care the adviser are amazing in most immediately schedule a Zoom call if you're having trouble. If you're stuck, they will make you a priority. You can go to classes. You can go to study groups. It's amazing. I wouldn't have it any other way by far. It beats my other Past experiences when I got both of my Prior bachelor degrees.

Desde el primer dia las expectativas, se mantuvieron bien altas. El nivel de los mentores siempre estuvo muy al tope de las exigencias, no solo han estado a disposicion durante la clase sino que se han pasado horas fuera de clase y fuera de horario del boot inclusive. Y siempre me parece que vale la pena destacar la predisposicion que han tenido para resolver situaciones, a veces se ha podido resolver en el momento y otras se toman las concideraciones para un futuro. Habiendo cumplido el Boot, debo decir que para mi el mismo mantuvo siempre el nivel de intensivo y eso hizo que la exigencia siempre fuera pareja y durante los 4 meses me senti como si estuviera dentro de una empresa. Si la pregunta es lo recomendaria?? Si altamente, pero siempre hay que aclarar que lo intensivo va de la mano del nivel.

Materi yang diajarkan di kursus ini disusun dengan sangat baik. Mereka memberikan pemahaman dasar yang kuat tentang konsep-konsep programming, bahasa pemrograman, dan teknologi terkini. Hal ini sangat membantu bagi pemula seperti saya yang sebelumnya tidak memiliki latar belakang programming. Instruktur di Alterra Academy sangat ahli dan berpengalaman di bidangnya. Mereka sangat sabar dan responsif dalam menjawab pertanyaan peserta. Saya merasa didukung dan termotivasi untuk terus belajar dan mencoba hal-hal baru. Satu hal yang sangat saya hargai dari Alterra Academy adalah bantuan yang mereka berikan dalam penempatan kerja. Tim penempatan kerja mereka membantu mempersiapkan kami untuk wawancara kerja, menyusun resume, dan memberikan wawasan tentang industri teknologi. Saya bahkan berhasil mendapatkan pekerjaan baru di bidang programming hanya beberapa minggu setelah menyelesaikan kursus.

Secara keseluruhan, saya benar-benar puas dengan pengalaman saya di Alterra Academy. Kursus ini benar-benar mengubah karier saya dan memberi saya landasan yang kokoh dalam dunia programming. Saya akan merekomendasikan Alterra Academy kepada siapa pun yang ingin beralih ke karier di bidang teknologi dan programming. Terima kasih Alterra Academy atas kesempatan yang luar biasa ini!

I attended Prime's first part-time cohort in 2021-22, which was full of working people and busy parents who had wanted to dive into tech but had been put off by the full-time bootcamp time commitment. I had been a hairstylist for fifteen years and had absolutely zero tech experience, but had been curious about it for about five years--especially seeing how my friends in the industry were thriving financially. I liked that the program was fully online but that there were scheduled, structured classes along with flexible scheduled group work time, along with work that you did on your own schedule. The program not only sets you up for success tech-wise, but the career support and staff in general are invaluable. Between the technical training, the full-stack projects you build, the experience you get working with actual clients, and the interview and resume coaching, you really are positioned to land that first job within the first few months (or sooner--I had many cohort-mates that landed jobs while they were still in the program!). It took me about five weeks of interviewing after I graduated to receive two job offers. I accepted a position at a small software consulting agency in Minneapolis and happily celebrated my one-year anniversary at this month. The work is incredibly social and creative, and the risk was absolutely worth the reward. It's rare to leave a career of fifteen years and experience a significant increase in income with your first job in the new field, and my annual raise after one year was right around 15%! I can work from home as much or as little as I like which is a HUGE plus, I love the flexibility. If you are considering a bootcamp and want to land your first job in the Minneapolis area especially (their connections to the job market here are so valuable, although I think they would set you up for success no matter where you are located), Prime is absolutely worth the investment.
