devCodeCamp

devCodeCamp tactically throws you right into the fire.  There is a world of learning to do when it comes to software development and dCC does it well, starting with the right fundamentals that will help you to understand more complex languages and libraries down the line.  Most of the projects are the right amount of understanding what you’re doing and being challenged to learn more.  By the end of the course, you’re truly able to create something entirely from scratch, front end and back end and to be able to do that from previously knowing nothing is an incredible testament to dCC's teaching ability.   

This is a 12 week bootcamp that teaches you differents software programs and languages. The instructors are very knowledgeable and supportive. Even with all the other students, they were still able to respond in a timely manner. The cirriculum was perfect as it allowed us to learn the most popular softwares which will be useful for future jobs. The speed at which we learn everything is also beneficial as well. It will help us adapt when we go to new companies and need to learn new languages and such. Career services also did a fantastic job. They helped me with my resume and LInkedIn so that I have the best chance at getting a job. Overall, a great experience!

What you will get out of this boot camp:

How to work in an agile environment.
Working in teams to get projects finished.
Increase in skills of being a self sufficient developer. My GoogleFu skills are now at a new level.
Use of the debugger tool.(If you don't know how to use this then all the more reason to join).

Overall a great program that solidified my skills to the next level. Teachers were great and did very little hand holding. This teaching style helped to hone my skills in being self-sufficient. 

The career services is great and they go above and beyond what is expected. My LinkedIn, my résumé, as well as job hunting have all been improved because of their hard work and dedication. 

devCodeCamp has been a great experience from instruction to career services. The pace is face and the information is plentiful, but that's to be expected. The instructors do a great job of pushing you to problem-solve instead of giving you the easy way out. You will be challenged and get frustrated, but I believe the teaching style is very effective. The curriculum focuses on today's most relevant technologies to get you job-ready upon completion of the course. At times I wish there were more code demos to confirm you were going about the problem in an effective way, but instructors are always available to answer your individual questions. I am sure the instructors would have been happy to do a demo on any particular project/assignment if the class asked.

As with most learning opportunities in life, how much you get out of it is up to you. The structure, tools, and support are provided for you to take advantage of and get the results you hoped for. If you come in like many of us with no coding experience, you will look back at how much you learned in three months and soon realize how impressive it is. Trust their process and enjoy learning.

Career services thus far have provided more resources and support than I expected coming in, so that's also a plus. Overall, I am happy with my decision to join devCodeCamp and change my career.

DevCodeCamp's Fullstack course is a fast paced, information firehose that requires you to be your absolute best from day one. In three months time, you will be creating applications from the ground up. Personally, coming into this program with very little coding experience( I knew what a variable was and some simple console commands), I was worried that I would be overwhelmed by the information the instructors where teaching. Somedays I was and when that did happen the instructors where always there to help. For me, the best part of the course, is that the instructors really do care about helping you learn. Their enthusiasm and dedication to what they do really shined through.  

For all of you with no experience in web development wondering if DCC is the smart choice for you, let me be your spokesperson! I came into this with ZERO coding experience and I couldn't have asked for more than what the instructors delivered. From the very beginning I was impressed with DCC's dedication to their craft. Upon completing the online assessment I was almost immediately contacted about my (albeit not so great) score. The theme of the conversation was that all that matters is your enthusiasm towards problem solving and he was absolutely right! Step forward through the user friendly registration process and my first day as a DCC student and I'm introduced to some of the most professional and personable instructors I have ever met. The quality of care and attention they provided me and other classmates throughout the course was next to none and their passion was evident every step of the way. Now here I am, elated. I am a graduate who can confidently say that I belong in this field and I don't believe I could have done it without them! Take the leap, invest in yourself, and create the future you deserve.

When I started dCC  I had only a basic understanding of development concepts, 4 months later as a dCC graduate I feel confident in my skills as a software/web developer. 

I had desired to learn software development for a long time, but never felt confident in my skills, and felt that the programs that I was taking were too slow paced. I taken CS courses for a year and a half, and by week 3 of dCC we had already outpaced 3 semesters worth of CS course content. After watching a co-worker go through dCC while I attended UWM, seeing their knowledge of development concepts skyrocket and eventually seeing them land a well paying job in less time than a semester of school took me, I decided that traditional education wasn't the right path for me... But I still wasn't convinced of going to a bootcamp. So I thought I would teach myself coding, that it would be faster than going to traditional school, and I wouldn't have to go through a bootcamp.

However, trying to teach myself coding proved to be a challenge. While teaching myself software and web development all of the information I researched seemed scattered and it felt impossible to build a solid framework for developing my skills as a software developer. I ended up getting frustrated, and learning development skills took a back seat in my life. Then at the end of 2020, with frustrations in my current job I decided to give learning software/web development another shot and joined dCC's web development program and I couldn't be happier with that decision.

Their programs are not for the feint of heart, don't expect an easy time. They are fast paced and if you don't commit yourself to learning the course material I could see it being easy to fall behind. I would recommend going into the program with a decent understanding of programming concepts; variables, loops, if/else statements, etc. Although it's by no means required, I feel it helped me snowball my knowledge with each new concept; it gave me an edge by being able to really spend time learning the current concept we were researching, rather than having to learn it while still struggling with the previous content covered. 

The instructors were knowledgeable on the subjects taught, and extremely helpful. If you get stuck on a problem they don't just give you the answers, they helped you find them and guide you toward where you need to go. They gave clear and concise lectures with just enough information to not overwhelm you, but get you started on understanding, researching and implementing a concept. 

All in all my experience ad dCC was great, they gave me the tools and support I needed to develop my long desired skills as a software developer. I would recommend anyone looking to become a software developer to the program. 

I took the Full Stack Software Developer Course remotely from Oct 2020 to Jan 2021, having no background in coding at all. I found the curriculum very challenging but not impossible to grasp, and the coursework progressed in a manageable way so that I never felt totally overwhelmed. The instructors were also very good about guiding me to solutions and reminding me of skills and techniques covered during instruction without handing me the answers. Covering not just how languages work but also teaching best practices used by professionals. By the end of the course I was able to create my own functional point-of-sale system, again with no coding background. If you can afford the price, it is absolutely worth learning the craft from this institution.

Like most people I had some doubts about taking an online program. But I did my research ahead of time and asked around, then took the plunge based on these aspects. devCodeCamp (dCC) has a great track record of graduate success and a post-grad career services program. Like any endeavor, you get out of it what you put into it. If you're serious, work-hard, and put in the extra effort; you will see immediate results. dCC has plenty of support and structure to keep you focused on the projects and to help you when you're stuck. But as I said, it comes down to the effort that you put into it. 

I HIGHLY recommend before coming to dCC to study and practice coding and development to get ahead start on the program, the best developers are self-taught, and it will give you a better sense of whether or not software development  is for you. The curriculum serves as introduction and exposure to the concepts of software development. The course teaches concepts with C# / ASP .NET but I was able to transfer those skills and concepts to Javascript technologies with MERN Stack in my final project.
