It's been a solid six months since I graduated Dev League, and 'till this day I can confidently say it has been the best decision I made in my life.

It's been a solid six months since I graduated Dev League, and 'till this day I can confidently say it has been the best decision I made in my life.
Coming from a not-so-fortunate family, paying for any education after high school potentially meant a massive amount of debt. I had considered the two standard post-high school plans: Spending two years at a community college only to transfer to a university to get my B.S in Computer Science, or taking out a massive loan to attend a university that could potentially last for more than four years. Neither one of these options sounded appealing at all, but for two years I had been biting on that bullet. The pace in which the classes covered material left me unsatisfied, and hungry for more knowledge. Then in January of 2015, I had found Dev League.
Anxious, nervous, and a mixture of other feelings, I decided to jump ship on my initial plan and go all-in on Dev League, and in May of 2015, I started my journey to becoming a web developer. The first week started off as a refresher, but the courses quickly accelerated. There was very little problems that had stumped the instructors, which made the onboarding process for everyone’s development environment incredibly smooth.
Although there had been moments throughout the course where I had asked myself: ‘Was I overzealous in thinking I could handle this? Did I make a mistake?’, the amount of knowledge that not only the instructors had, but also the entire community that surrounded Dev League was incredibly inspirational, and enough motivation to keep me swimming in the deep end.
The lead instructor Jon(as well as all the TA’s), did an amazing job on giving you just enough information to solve your problem without ruining that ‘Aha!’ moment for you. They were very strict in making you understand the WHY your code works and HOW it works the way it does, and frowned upon ‘copy-pasting’ any code that you did not understand. Without such caring and passionate community, I highly doubt I would have been able to have this level of confidence in my Javascript abilities.
It’s no surprise why past Dev League graduates frequently visit the Dev League campus after finishing the course. The amount of information being passed around by everyone is beautiful, especially considering the fact that Hawai’i has such a small tech-community. There are very few elitists, and for the most part everyone is willing to help each other out.
For the most part, It all boils down to how bad you want it.
Initially, I had serious doubts about joining Dev League. I thought "Web Development? Hell no. I want to program games." This was coming from a weak background in Unity C# programming - if you could call it programming - and I was extremely nervous about wasting time and money. I explored other options including art or returning to traditional schooling (University), but I decided to dive in, considering the bootcamp being in my native state. Best decision I've made in ...
Initially, I had serious doubts about joining Dev League. I thought "Web Development? Hell no. I want to program games." This was coming from a weak background in Unity C# programming - if you could call it programming - and I was extremely nervous about wasting time and money. I explored other options including art or returning to traditional schooling (University), but I decided to dive in, considering the bootcamp being in my native state. Best decision I've made in a long time.
When first entering the room I'd spend the next 3 months of my life, there was a mix of excitement and nervousness that all of my classmates were exuding. Tables lined the room, paired with smart-looking monitors and comfy chairs. I took my seat and pretended to look busy checking my email. My busy-making was cut short, thankfully, by the lead instructor and co-founders walk in and starting the round of introductions. After quirky introductions from each classmate (shout out to B-ROCK), we talked about expectations and realities of the course. To be honest, much of the talk about what were going to learn went over my head - like a fire hose to a balloon - but I tried to retain some of the buzzwords like 'asynchronous' and 'node js'. I had no idea what to expect from the course or any prior knowledge about the industry - but I held resistance of my expectations because of my perception of web development.
Throughout the course, everyday got more and more exciting, we were building skills that were tangible and applicable. For each new thing we learned, it was just a step further into the big, big world of software-engineering, and every day that I learned something conceptually new, I could see application and parallels elsewhere. The further into the course and the more I learned about the beautiful Javascript language, the more I realized how little I knew - and it was the best feeling ever. I felt like there was an endless supply of new things to learn and apply your knowledge to. Looking back now, I still don't know as much as I want to, but the disparity of knowledge from when I first started is incredible.
The course has a nicely structured learning plan that holds your hand in the beginning, but weens you off slowly, until at the end you are making decisions about architecture and tools that are very much a part of professional development. The course concentrates on fundamental (vanilla) Javascript, then exposes frameworks and libraries that companies are currently looking for - I've found a personal favorite in Angular. Material covered is taught along side with best practices for implementation and repeatedly stressed as important - but not as important as simply finishing the application or project. There are almost always 2 or 3 teacher assistants on staff at any moment in the course time (9am - 8pm) and class communication is 24 hours a day, resources which are invaluable when you are stuck on a hard problem or bug.
Dev League (like most bootcamps) is an accelerated course, which means the content moves quick. Real quick. It sometimes feels overwhelming when hopping from complex concepts and implementations to the next every day, and it can make you feel inadequate when your grasp of the concept isn't as strong as the other students. While the Dev League team is supportive and tries to adjust to the general ability of the cohort (which is anywhere from 5 to 15 people), it does not slow down too much because there is so much to cover. I found the pacing daunting at first, but grew to love how fast we covered advanced topics because it forces you to focus and improves the ability to think critically.
Honestly, I could write a short novel on my experiences over the past 3 months at Dev League. I won't, because that's boring and has undertones of masochism. I will express my gratitude for the course and the people who helped throughout the process. Because of the awesome culture and friendly attitudes, I have a a new-born confidence in not only my Javascript development abilities, but also in my learning and professional capabilities.
TLDR; Highly reccommend
Before DevLeague, I had no clue what direction I should be taking in life. I had been working a bunch of different jobs, trying to get a feel for something that I would enjoy doing for an extended period of time, but I came up with nothing. I was getting to a point where I was worried about my future when I found DevLeague. To be honest, when I started looking into the course, I had little to no expectation that I would ever be interested in coding, but as I taught myself the little that I...
Before DevLeague, I had no clue what direction I should be taking in life. I had been working a bunch of different jobs, trying to get a feel for something that I would enjoy doing for an extended period of time, but I came up with nothing. I was getting to a point where I was worried about my future when I found DevLeague. To be honest, when I started looking into the course, I had little to no expectation that I would ever be interested in coding, but as I taught myself the little that I had to know to apply and get accepted, I realized that coding was like nothing I had ever experienced. I got accepted to the program, and 3 months later I'm living in a whole new world. I see technology differently since DevLeague, and I see my place in the world. I see what path to take for my future, and I'm positive that coding is something I can maintain. I love developing, and DevLeague is where it all started. If you need a little boost in life, and a brand new career path, DevLeague is the place for you.

I was a member of the second cohort. We were a part-time program. Our cohort lasted 26 weeks. This format has many positive qualities and man not so wonderful qualities. If you are considering DevLeague my suggestion is to go for the full-time program. What you sacrifice in intermediate opportunity cost you will make up with experience and income on the back end. Maintaining a working schedule in addition to DevLeague's rigorous class and project schedule was a continual challenge. I would also add that this format does not allow participants to approach the number of classroom hours that the full-time program does so you end of getting less for your money in terms of hours of class time. But like anything you get what you put into it. The teachers were always available so you could easily make that up on your own time by going into the DevLeague space and hacking on a project and getting help.
In terms of curriculum, it was very much project focused with lecture time kept to a minimum. We focused almost exclusively on the javascript stack. We worked with every technology that is mentioned on the website. The variety of concepts, tools and applications that we used to build our projects were always leading edge and industry relevant. The curriculum directly translates into industry ready skills. Most importantly, however, you will learn that the tools are always changing and you will learn the process of continual learning. This is perhaps the underlying message of the program: never stop learning!
As far as support goes, the instructors were awesome and I view them as personal and professional mentors. They were extremely knowledgeable about the technologies. Most importantly they possess the patience and grace to work through even the most tedious of problems with a smile. Outside of class, DevLeague is an important part of the technology and startup ecosystem so you get to meet lots of interesting people doing a variety of things. My imagination of what was possible continued to expand through these interactions. This is important since the entire time you are wondering what the next step is. The team at DevLeague is always exposing you to people to help you answer this question.
As far as outcomes go, I had 3 interviews lined up within one week of class completing. I only interviewed at one place and received a soft offer. However, since I planned to continue learning I declined the remaining interviews. I have no doubt that if I stayed in Hawaii or had returned to the mainland for work, regardless, there would be plenty of opportunity as a dev. Nevertheless, my plan is to attend a data science program and I can say that without DevLeague that would never have been possible. I can tell you that during the application process to this program, they were impressed that I was able to implement solutions to the problem in node.js. Most data science is done in python and r and they were surprised to see someone use the command line to curl api's and run algorithms through a node repl. I solved the problem slowly by trial and error working my way towards the solution by testing for what works and what does not work. I'd say it was a very good example of the way DevLeague helped me learn how to tinker my way to a solution by trying different approaches to see what works. This for me was a whole new way of thinking.
DevLeague helped me certainly to develop industry ready skills. More importantly, they taught me how to reimagine my own learning process and the taught me to reimagine how I solve problems. This is what I take from the program.
I am grateful to have found that Dev League was being established around the same time I was considering a career change. In my previous job I had the responsibility of maintaining my department’s intranet site built with basic HTML, and I was interested in diving further into web development.

I am grateful to have found that Dev League was being established around the same time I was considering a career change. In my previous job I had the responsibility of maintaining my department’s intranet site built with basic HTML, and I was interested in diving further into web development. However, being lost with the multitude of “learn web development” tutorials online, I decided that I needed something much more structured and with in-person guidance. After hearing about Dev League, I decided to take the plunge and give it a shot. I am definitely glad that I grabbed at this opportunity.
I was a member of the first full-time cohort, with classes going on Monday through Saturday, 9am to 8pm for 12 weeks. From the start it was definitely fast-paced, starting with computer science concepts to build our foundation, then moving to HTML/CSS and then ultimately to building projects using Node.js and various full-stack Javascript frameworks. As expected, it was very overwhelming and challenging in the first few weeks. All these new concepts were being drilled into my head and I felt that I barely had any time to digest it all. But as time passed, everything just clicked. Our instructors Jon and Kelli, as well as the founders Russel and Jason, were invaluable in their support and were glad to sit down with you if you have any problems or feel blocked in some way.
A typical day in class when I attended the first cohort started off with solving a problem from Project Euler, followed by a round of technical interview questions. This helped prepare a solid foundation for us once we completed the course and moved onto job hunting. Then we would learn a new concept, such as being introduced to a new framework like Meteor or a tool we could utilize. For the rest of the day we would work on projects. For projects we utilized the Agile Scrum methodology and had fun collaborating on git. For community events, we were heavily involved with the start up community, where we participated in events such as Start Up Weekend, Maker Fair, and Civic-Celerator.
After graduation Russel did an excellent job connecting us with potential job opportunities using Dev League’s expanding employer network. I was one of the few students who moved to the mainland after completing the course, but I still received a great deal of assistance in getting job leads and support. I ended up getting a Front-End Developer job specializing in Responsive Design, and I owe it all to Dev League for giving me all the skills necessary to land my first developer job. Though my job uses PHP instead of Node for their server-side language, I was able to transition to PHP quite easily due to the concepts I had learned from Dev League.
If you are in Hawaii or are considering moving to Hawaii and have an interest in learning web development or making a career change, I highly recommend you give Dev League a chance. You’ll come out of it with the skills of a junior developer, a taste in the world of start ups, and an increased thirst in attaining more knowledge.
I'm as "fresh off the boat" as they come when first learning of DevLeague and programming in general. I'm not a gamer, my phone's a S3, prior to DevLeague the closest thing to a laptop was my ASUS tablet, and I had some exposure to html, meaning - I've heard the term and seen it in Dream Weaver at work lol.

I'm as "fresh off the boat" as they come when first learning of DevLeague and programming in general. I'm not a gamer, my phone's a S3, prior to DevLeague the closest thing to a laptop was my ASUS tablet, and I had some exposure to html, meaning - I've heard the term and seen it in Dream Weaver at work lol. Fortunately, DevLeague took a chance with me, my instructors and classmates were not only patient but super supportive, and now I've recently accepted a job offer and am switching career paths. Hopefully this reassures any other F.O.B. aspiring coders out there, that "if I can do it, you can definitely do it."
You graduate the program with a solid foundation as a full-stack developer, allowing you to navigate this huge and constantly changing world of tech, which can be intimidating. Yes, I still feel like a small fish in a huge ocean, BUT now I have a sense of direction, tools to navigate with, and an approach and sense of independence to problem solving that I'll be applying to any problem .. code or non-code related. I really appreciated DevLeague's approach to teaching the material, which was usually - teaching us the hardest way and from ground up, then rewarding us with easier tools, shortcuts even. Yes, torture, but super effective. This solidified our understanding of the material. DevLeague makes you comfortable and confident in addressing and learning the unknown, revealing to yourself on whether you have the grit or not in getting you there. If you were hoping for a 'technical' review, at this point, you probably realize you're not getting one. Because what worked for me in learning the material, completing 6 months in the part-time, and eventually landing a job opportunity .. were the non-technical mantras below, explained to me and my classmates early in the bootcamp. I literally have a sheet of paper in my apartment where I would tally each day of code. One day at a time, One month at a time ..
*ATTITUDE: have a positive attitude
*WORK ETHIC and DISCIPLINE: at least 11 hours outside of the classroom .. and read the docs!!
*ALWAYS BE COMMITTING
In addition to accomplishing your first step to becoming a full-stack developer, you join an extremely talented and generous community, all sharing the same passion to constantly be learning and solving problems :) I'm very lucky to be one of many to say, THANK YOU DevLeague.
If I could, I would go through DevLeague all over again. It was honestly one of the best and most challenging experiences of my life! I left my job in California and moved out to Hawaii for 3 months to learn something I had no experience in. So yeah… that was kinda nuts, but it was so worth it! I got to learn from instructors who were enthusiastic about programming and who were genuinely interested in helping us learn the material. At the same time, I had amazing classmates who...
If I could, I would go through DevLeague all over again. It was honestly one of the best and most challenging experiences of my life! I left my job in California and moved out to Hawaii for 3 months to learn something I had no experience in. So yeah… that was kinda nuts, but it was so worth it! I got to learn from instructors who were enthusiastic about programming and who were genuinely interested in helping us learn the material. At the same time, I had amazing classmates who busted their butts day in and day out, which kept me going throughout the course. Yes, programming is tough and there are plenty of rough times, but I was always able to get through it with the amazing support group I had at DevLeague.
DevLeague was definitely not a walk in the park. I was sweating bullets before class even started. Though I went through the phone screening and passed the coding challenge, I still had this uneasy feeling of imposter syndrome. I was thinking to myself, “This must be a fluke. Are they sure the accepted the right guy?” and “I just don’t think I’m smart enough to do this!”. Well after 12 intensive weeks of non-stop programming, all I can say is “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!”. My advice is just to grind through it and to never ever give up! And don’t be afraid to ask questions. The people at DevLeague are there to help you, so make sure you take full advantage of their resources during the bootcamp and after you graduate.
The driving force behind my decision to join a coding boot-camp was waking up everyday and not enjoying the career I had. The lucrative salary was the only reason for me getting up in the morning and going to work. I spent many years in the IT field however, having held various Consultant and Analyst roles, these positions never really allowed me to execute anything myself. I was always promised training and mentor-ship but there was never enough time. I kept taking on more and more work ...
The driving force behind my decision to join a coding boot-camp was waking up everyday and not enjoying the career I had. The lucrative salary was the only reason for me getting up in the morning and going to work. I spent many years in the IT field however, having held various Consultant and Analyst roles, these positions never really allowed me to execute anything myself. I was always promised training and mentor-ship but there was never enough time. I kept taking on more and more work that didn't allow me any room to learn the development side of IT. I wanted to be more creative, I wanted to build things, I wanted to make something that people used but I needed to learn how and college wasn't an option for me.
Decisioning- Before selecting Dev League, I spent many hours researching other boot camps. A few things that stood out to me from Dev League were the class sizes, the selection process, and the involvement of the founders. The smaller sizes appealed to me as I figured I would get more one on one time with instructors and not fade away in the background or be seen as just another student. The selection process is also a bit different from other boot-camps. Dev League requires you to complete a coding challenge that is evaluated for acceptance by the founders. Good thing Dev League also offers a prep course that covers some fundamentals of programming. This really helped me in completing the coding challenge. I liked that Dev League doesn't just accept anyone willing to pay the tuition. I knew upon being accepted that I would be in a class with like minded individuals who also put in the time and effort to complete the challenge and the founders were the ones making that decision not some recruiter or senior developer or anyone else. There was never any mystery of who they were. I would say that was the biggest factor in my decision. So, I sold everything I owned and my husband and I packed two suitcases and we moved to Hawaii!!!
Experience in Dev League- If you're looking for a boot-camp that is just going to feed you lectures and give you homework this will not be a good choice for you. The instructors do a great job of giving you enough information until the light bulbs go off in your head and the rest you have to figure out on your own. A lot of time is spent researching and coding trial and errors. Part of what Dev League strives for is teaching students how to teach themselves. Which was frustrating for me at first, after pounding my head against the wall a few times I really just wanted to yell at the instructors to just give me the answer! However, I think my toughest times were my greatest lessons. I chose to take the full-time course because I wanted to be 110% focused without any distractions. The days were really long, 6 days a week from about 9am to sometimes 10-11pm for me. It definitely takes a lot of self-motivation and drive to complete the course. Do not expect a hand out. Dev League definitely makes you earn your stripes. You are ultimately responsible for your own success. Dev League helps aid to that success by providing a great network of resources and support. Not only did Dev League offer professional advice on my resume, but a Linked In profile/social media review, active email distributions on open positions within the Dev League network all around the world, professional advise from the founders, and an extended "FRAMILY" of Dev League alumni. All of which I was not expecting. Also, from the beginning of the application process, to the Skye interview, to the prep course, the full time class, part time class, prep course, the networking events, the coffee hours, the happy hours, and all the way to after graduation the founders are involved in ALL of it.
Conclusion- Joining Dev League was the best decision I ever made. It was a huge sacrifice for me to leave my family, friends, belongings, and LIFE behind in Austin, Texas. I moved to Hawaii not knowing anyone, I had never lived outside of Texas. The course itself was not easy and it really made me learn how to brand myself as a person verses just making myself marketable just to get a job. It was the best investment that I've made in myself. I've made really great friends and connections that will last a lifetime. Three weeks after Dev League I received my first job offer as a Data Conversion Developer Analyst. A hybrid position that was created for me by an employer in the Dev League network.

I live in Melbourne, and General Assembly is 5 minutes walk from my house. Yet I chose DevLeague. Here's why:
1. Instructor to Student Ratio
DevLeague has 2 full time teachers and 3 teaching assistants every day. My class had 8 students, so that's nearly a 1 : 2 teacher:student ratio.
2. Coverage of topics
DevLeague covers A LOT. It is a 6 day/week, 12 hours/day course. Topics included:
- Front end: HTML, CSS, Sass, ReactJS, AngularJS

DevLeague covers A LOT. It is a 6 day/week, 12 hours/day course. Topics included:
- Front end: HTML, CSS, Sass, ReactJS, AngularJS
- DOM
- JQuery and Bootstrap were deliberately not covered to teach us how stronger fundamentals, i.e. how to do things the "hard way". The idea is that you should only use outside frameworks where necessary and to understand their limitations.
- XMLHttpRequests (using APIs)
- Server side: net, http and Express
- Templating Engines: Jade, fs
- Databases: SQL, postgreSQL, sequelize ORM, noSQL, mongoDB, mongoose, server side architecture
- Authentication: Passport, Auth, OAuth
- Writing tests for your code: Mocha, Chai, SuperTest
- DevOps - like actual granular devops using command line on Digital Ocean, not just Heroku.
- Well taught Language skills and best practices: Functional programming, including array iterators, call, bind, apply, callbacks, promises
- Revealing module pattern and OOP
- Security and encryption, SHA512, bcrypt
3. Ongoing support:
- They actively email potential employers for you and help you review your CV.
- They have a wide network of former students who are available to help you
- It is still run by the owners of the business, not some multinational trying to churn students out at a profit

I was your traditional college student pursuing a computer science degree when in my third year I realized school just wasn't teaching what I wanted to learn CODING. I became bored at school and started to just teach myself how to code. I soon found out this was not easy and was not getting very far on my own. Main reason being, CODING IS HARD and its a vast ocean of information, I didn't even know where to start. I knew I wanted a career in the tech world and that traditional schooling wasn't giving me what I needed. Thats when I decided to make a change.
I randomly met a guy at the beach that went through a programming bootcamp and talked very highly of how they teach and his experiecne. This peeked my interest right away he told me there is one right here in Hawaii. I instantly began researching bootcamps and decided that Devleague was where I wanted to apply. I chose Devleague because of the amazing communication I experienced when researching the school and could see they just had something the others didn't. So I trusted my gut and applied the next day. They gave me a coding entrance exam which I have to say was very challegning. I worked around the clock on this project teaching myself different mark-up languages and coding languages. I struggled so hard with this, but along the way Devleague was there to answer any questions I had to help me without giving me answers. I knew then that they wanted me to succeed so I worked even harder to prove that I wanted to get into this program. After finally completing this exam I received my acceptance into the program.
After accepting the offer to attend the program, the work began instantly prepping myself before I even step foot in the classroom. And once again, Devleague was there helping me along the way from video conferences, chat, email. Anything I needed I simply had to just ask.
Throughout the duration of the program, we were pushed and challenged everyday with new concepts. The instructors were able to take something very complicated and break it down in a manner that anyone can understand, then solidified these concepts through project-orientated learning. The instructors were so knowledgable and helpful with anything I needed. If I didn't understand something, I just asked and they would sit with me till I understood it. Thats when I really knew I made the right choice coming here. The staff would do anything to help me. To be honest, I wasn't the sharpest student in my class and struggled everyday. I don't know how many times I thought "can I really do this?" But everyday I worked harder, saught help, and came back the next day. Besides the classroom, we were able to attend software developer meetups and participate in some amazing hackathons.
After completing the program, I look back at all my struggles and am happy I went through Devleague. They taught me the skills I needed to be a successful and confident developer and went out of their to ensure I had a great experience. Even after completing the program, the help still flows continously from job assistance, coding questions, interview prep and this list goes on. Devleague's motto is " to have a great experience before, during, and after the program". Well let me be the first to tell you they nailed it. In summary, if you want the complete package then look no further!!!!!! You aren't just another student to them, you are family and I felt that from day one. I would like to thank the entire staff at Devleague for everything you have done for me and continue to do. Happy Coding :)
I heard about Devleague rougly in the middle of 2015 over the radio thinking to myself what Devleague was all about, sadly, i ignored it and continued looking for a job. I Graduated with a Bachelors of Political Science thinking i would be a civil service employee for either a state or federal agency. For my entire life, i had always been involved in public service (National guardsman for 10 years)

After looking at the coding challenge i contemplated on if this field was for me. i was able to make it into the August Prep-course which Victor taught, this course gave me enough to learn fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, which was needed in to finish the coding challenge. The Prep-course was extremely useful, due to the fact that i had no prior experience with code. Without out, i probably would not have made it finish the coding challenge. *FUN FACT* i actually QUIT my full time job prior to even being accepted into the full time course, HUGE gamble but it paid off!
I got accepted into Cohort 13, September to November and thus begun my journey into the Web dev community.
Let me remind people that this course is seriously not for everyone. There will be many moments of highs and lows, many moments of contemplating of quiting the program. Fight your fears, Make it through, trust the instructors, and embrace the merges! Because everything will come full circle in the end!
Looking back 3 months ago to today after completing the bootcamp, i would never imagine that i could be capable of building a website *full stack* *front and back end* and present it to friends and family!
Fear and the uncertainty drove me to complete the course! Run with it and don't look back!!!
