HTMS, CSS, and JavaScript
The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a comprehensive introduction to web development that is both incredibly informative and challenging. I recommend this course for people looking to start a career in web development, and want to have a solid understanding of the basics. You'll come away from this course inspired to learn more and seek creative ways to exercise that knowledge.

I chose Nucamp mainly because of their price, which is a tenth of the typical cost of the big-name camps, but I also noticed their reviews were as high or higher than those camps. Any of the negative reviews were for the same reasons anyone rated any of the other camps badly. After doing some more research, I decided on Nucamp.

Any of the negative reviews were for the same reasons anyone rated any of the other camps badly. After doing some more research, I decided on Nucamp.
I started with the Web Fundamentals course. I had a great experience. The instructor is an actual working developer and not someone employed by the camp. (This isn't always a bad thing, but one can definitely forget a lot of they're not actively working.) The class is limited to ten people, so the instructor isn't overwhelmed and can set aside time in their busy schedule to be available for questions. You can connect with your instructor and the other students via dedicated Slack channels, which include even those who have already taken the class and the other instructors, in case you need help. We are asked every week to evaluate the instructor and the course, so the instructor is motivated to follow through.
There is an expectation to to a lot of the modules and code challenges on your own, so you really have to take this seriously of you're an absolute beginner. These consist of follow-along videos as well as written instructions. They give you a suggested pace along with several recommendations for supplemental study along the way. Your tasks and modules are gamified, and there is a leaderboard where you can see your own progress as well as that of the others.
The weekend workshops are encouraging as you get to spend a solid amount of time (currently online) with your cohorts. The instructor reviews the lessons you completed during the week, and then you work on a project with one or two others.
As a result of the great experience, I enrolled in the full-stack course!- Christopher MansfieldVerified by LinkedInNov 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

They gave a good structure to follow and I ended up learning more than I did watching Youtube videos. There is a con that comes with the course, unfortunately. For example, the instructor stated that he would be available to help and to just message him. I have messaged him multiple times on different platforms and didn't receive a timely response. That would be my only criticism of the program but I honestly think the positives outweigh the negatives. If you are interested in learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I would definitely look into this cheap alternative. - AmandaVerified by LinkedInNov 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals
Chance really took the time throughout the week to check in on us while we were going through the lessons. He pushed us to think outside the box and always stress research to find the problem. I really felt that I have learned a lot in the past four weeks to really take time to step outside yourself and take a breath if you cannot get the solution right away...it is usually staring at you right in the face. - Megan WongStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Bootstrap Class
I loved this course! It was perfect for me. I tried one day of another course before this, and I really prefer nucamp's format. The videos are an ideal length for you to learn a new concept without being overwhelmed. They each have a corresponding exercise for you to really cement the concept in your mind with hands-on building.

The instructor is very responsive to questions throughout the week, as are the other instructors from other cohorts on the main Slack channel. I never expected I could make such a good-looking website by the end of 5 weeks, and look forward to learning further skills and eventually the backend component as well. - Bert Michael Carr JrStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Verified by GitHubNov 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

High Quality meets Low Cost

Nucamp pushed me hard but rewarded me with much more than I paid for. As someone who used to hire engineers, I know I'd give graduates of this program extra points just for being smart enough not to have paid a fortune for schooling that usually does. They don't sacrifice quality in any way to remain so reasonably priced. It's almost too good to believe -- but it isn't. It's just an outlier with a mission to give back more than it takes.

You'll work hard, but best bang-for-your-buck!
Nucamp is definitely a self-learn program that expects a lot of time and energy, but the fast-paced process and scaled difficulty of the program, as well as the "learning by doing" focus make it a wonderful bootcamp. It is not for the faint of heart, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort, Nucamp is probably the best advanced bootcamp for the price you will find (especially with its flexibility of online or in-person courses and with the frequency of cohorts available).
