Developers.Institute

Surprisingly, 2020 was not as bad as the world made it sounds like. I, personally, had the chance of being part of an amazing Coding Bootcamp, the developers institute in Tel Aviv, where I successfully graduated as a Full Stack developer in Python (using Flask and mainly Django).
I will remember my first hackathon as a great memory. I have to emphasise the involvement of every staff member and their quality of teachings while SFH (studying from home). Big ShoutOut to Jonathan & Avi for their passion, professionalism, and empathy while sharing their knowledge with us. Certainly, it was overwhelming and very tiring sometimes but definitely worth it when I managed to build my first full-stack websites. Grateful for all the weekly challenges I had to complete. Overall great content and great follow-up with the students. I am looking forward to starting my career in development and coding systems. And can't to continue learning more & more 🤓
"MERCI" to Megane and Avner for making this happen.
Sincerely,
Daniel Ach

I really liked the Full Stack Coding Bootcamp at Developers Institute. This course teaches about coding in a way that's easy to understand.  The course was hard but very good. We used a system that was easy to use. We learned a lot of different coding languages. In the front-end part, I learned Python, JavaScript, and Bootstrap. In the back-end part, I learned Node.js, Django, and MySQL. These skills have helped me a lot in coding.

The teachers were very helpful. They spent extra time with us to make sure we understood everything. They knew a lot and were very patient. The best part of the course was how friendly everyone was. It felt like a community where everyone helped each other. This made learning fun and less scary. The staff, especially Ziv and Lise, were great at helping us.

The course also helped with finding a job. They checked our CVs and portfolios. But getting a job or internship can still be hard. You have to work hard for it.

In short, the Developers Institute is a great place to learn about full-stack development. It’s hard work but you learn a lot and grow as a person.

In Israel it is crucial to have a community of people to network with in order to achieve your goals...
Developers Institute is a bootcamp that will not only teach you how to program, but also guide you along your journey to success.
The founders of the bootcamp are largely involved in the life as a student here, and the teachers really give you the attention you need.

Personally, I came to this course with the expectation learning the foundations of becoming a developer, and applying the skillset to my current role.
Knowledge is something that can never be taken from you once it's acquired, and the teachers here will absolutely show you how to code but also how to learn, and troubleshoot problems. The skills the teachers give you do not also applying to coding, but to any problem solving related tasks as well, you will learn how to think outside the box.
Also, personally I think it is important to be physically in the class to learn, but some students prefer online so it's really up to you.

I would recommend this course to anyone looking how to code / wanting to pivot to high tech as well.
It is not for everyone, as it is a big commitment of your time & requires a strong will to want to learn how to code.
Overall, I am really happy with the current course I am in & our teacher really listens to our feedback and optimizes the class to fit the needs of the students.

If you plan on joining, have fun on your journey :)

I have had the experience of coming across several organizations trining FullStack web developers in Israel and I must say that DI is the best. The study materials, the time alloted and the syllabus are finely tuned and being continuously improved. The teaching staff was first rate...responsive and professional. I highly recommend taking one of the bootcamps for whoever is considering learning to be a web-developer. The ability to exercise exceeds that of many other institutions.
I am both a student and an alumni - graduated the javascript bootcamp and came back for the python one...

The Developers Institute is an awesome guide on your journey in hi-tech. Their full-time bootcamp is super intensive. It's basically eat, sleep, code for the entire duration. Your progress really depends on how much effort you give. The more hours you spend coding and learning, the stronger your skills become. Plus, as you move along, you'll get a clearer sense of what you want from the tech world.
The vibe at the Developers Institute is super friendly and supportive. If you ever hit a bump while studying, there's always someone from the team ready to help.
Couple weeks after finishing my final project, the Institute introduced me to a tech company for an internship. In my case, I had to do a tech interview and tasks. And I managed it well.
Lastly, if you can, choose the onsite study option. Remote's okay, but being onsite lets you meet lots of new folks and make friends with current and promising software developers. Plus, there's something about learning together that makes it even more fun.
Wishing you all the best! Stay strong, stay patient, and of course, good luck!

Describing my emotions about learning at this place is difficult with words. It was challenging, and sometimes very challenging (I won't lie, there were even tears), but it's absolutely worth it, 200%. I was enrolled in the full-time program. Every day for 3 months: theory in the morning, practical exercises with teacher's assistants after lunch, and at the end of the week, we worked on small projects to practice the material covered. The learning platform is quite user-friendly, and the lesson recordings are available, which is very helpful when working on projects at the end of each week. The institute's team is a separate treasure. I've never encountered such dedication anywhere in my life. There wasn't a single person in the team who was indifferent. Any question could always be quickly answered, and during lessons, the teachers were ready to explain until everyone understood. All the instructors are highly professional and possess significant up-to-date practical experience, which is crucial in the high-tech industry.


At the end of the training, each of us had to develop a final project within 2 weeks and present it in English. My native language is Russian, and I came to the training with almost no conversational English skills, but since students came from different countries, we mostly communicated in English and were taught in English. Therefore, after months in this environment, I found it quite comfortable to speak English and present my project during the presentation.


Now, a two-month internship on real projects is starting, which will be a great advantage in job hunting and provide additional practical experience, of course. Alongside the training, a career consultant worked with us, and by the end, each of us had a ready resume, a portfolio website, and a clear job search plan.


In general, I could talk about this learning experience endlessly. To sum it up: if you're choosing where to start your journey, I highly recommend starting with the Developers.Institute!!!!!

Hi! I've just completed the Python + JavaScript full-time program at Developer.institute. This is an amazing course that provides new knowledge and teaches you how to solve various problems independently and as a team. I really enjoyed the training. Huge thanks to all the teachers, coaches, all the staff, and of course, the leadership of Developer.institute!
Here's what you should know if you plan to study here:

1. Education is hard work. You'll be able to take away as much knowledge as you can carry. But rest assured, you'll have support at any moment, and you'll be able to find an answer to any question.
2. Before starting classes, it's very important to thoroughly study the preliminary course. It will provide basic knowledge and greatly help in learning.
3. Don't plan any other activities for the duration of the training. You simply won't have any free time.
4. Well-executed assignments will give you great pleasure and be an excellent motivator for new achievements. )

Instructors:

• Pro: Extremely knowledgeable and patient.
• Con: None

Who can apply:

• Pro: No prerequisites so anyone can apply.
• Con: Due to lack of selection, some students can hold the class back which will result in you having to go over the class notes independently at home in order to complete the daily content.

Content:

• Pro: Assuming you don’t have experience, you will definitely leave with more knowledge than you came in with.
• Con: The content is a bit backdated, for example you can still find “var” in the textbooks. Also, the language is sometimes confusing to understand, it for sure hasn’t been proof read by a native English speaker.

Home assignments:

• Pro: Fun and educative. The instructors go over one assignment every morning before class.
• Con: The Checkers unfortunately don’t actually check your work or give you feedback, you will get full marks as long as you submit something.

Landing your first job:

• Pro: You get workshops to assist with your LinkedIn and resume.
• Con: Recent change of career coach and understandable learning curve results in very few students actually landing an internship.

Что для меня DI? В первую очередь это отличная среда для достижения новых целей. Я пришел на программу JavaScript с бэкграундом в программировании, и с целью освоить Web разработку. Это были очень интенсивные и интересные три месяца с большим количеством интересных задач в разных сферах разработки, когда каждый день вы должны разработать по несколько маленьких проектов (большую часть из которых можно добавлять в ваше резюме) , а в конце недели у вас обычно есть пару больших проектов подобранных специально чтобы охватить все новые знания за неделю у вас есть большая мотивация учить новые для вас технологии потому что в процессе выполнения этих заданий вы с вероятностью 100% столкнетесь с разными интересными проблемами с которыми вы можете столкнуться только в практике, а ваш инструктор будет всегда рад помочь вам разобраться.  В течении обучения проходили два интересных хакатона. Хотелось бы подметить профессионализм с которым разработан учебный план. Так же хочется отметить команду преподавателей на программе JavaScript, это люди которые пришли в DI не просто отсидеть свои рабочие часы и пойти домой, а пришли учить людей новому, и это видно по тому как они относятся к студентам. Я много раз подмечал как преподаватели оставались даже сверхурочно чтобы помочь ребятам которые что то не поняли и объясняли им материал. Что касается подготовки к первой работе в сфере, каждую неделю проходили тренинги по разным Soft skills которыми необходимо обладать разработчику, тренинги по составлению резюме , профиля LinkedIn и по ситуации в израильской сфере высоких технологий. 
Подводя итог этих трех месяцев хочу сказать, что это было очень интересно, интенсивно и полезно. Спасибо команде DI, это было круто!

what I really liked about developers-institute coding bootcamp is the practical way they taught us to become full-stack developers,
because there are no secrets, for becoming a good developer - practice, practice and practice!!
I found the lesson's structure very planned,
it's very intensive but worth every minute. just take the time and div into the material and challenges.
the staff is open for the student's feedback, and they are improving the lessons and the learning platform continuously.
for conclusion, I highly recommend developers-institute, it's a wonderful place where you can get all the tools to be a great developer!!

Graduated in Jan 2020. School taught  well and in depth. Teachers were very knowledgeable and made changes as needed/requested. Came out with a very high level knowledge of everything Development related and an advanced working knowledge of Python coding (and JS after I did that course too for free). Really great time, fun learning, and 1000% useful for getting into tech, or moving up in tech. While the school assists in internships (and I was placed into two) I did not use the school in job placement assistance.
