Learn iOS at These 52 iOS Bootcamps

I started the program in the summer of last year, coming out of high school, had no prior experience on Tech, IBG Institute had an amazing staff and provided me with valuable material that the market is demanding, something that colleges are not up to date with to provide for their students. Since finishing the program I immediately scored an apprenticeship with a Tech Company, and now having six figures job opportunities in front of me.

As a recent grad, going through the program offered at Operation Spark was the best decision I've ever made. I use to work for a small company in New Orleans as an IT desktop support, and going from the hardware side of computers to learning how to create web applications all on my own is quite a feat.

Yes the program itself is quite difficult, thats why the program is called immersion, but being able to offer real life skills in fullstack development, I wish I had this opportunity when I was younger.

Web Dev Season 5:

• HTML, SEO and Introduction by Jeff Chabot
• Javascript by Zachary Kadish
• PHP by Devon Bagley
• Course Administration by Sumy Joy

Thank you ALL!

As a student for this class I was propelled into the workforce right at the end of the class. Many of the other graduates had the same experience.

This is a fast paced Web Developer based into to everything and into to everything professional Boot Camp. Essentially as a student you need to know these things:

1. How to be prepared? Don't come into this class not knowing how to use a file system, this is a class meant for people who are going to get hired by a professional company after 12 weeks. This class is meant for people who have a good understanding of computers and already have an understanding of programming theory and understand how to read syntax. File system structure is not something you teach in this class. Don't be the student the slows everyone else down then drops out after 1-2 weeks.
2. If you're a potential student of this class DON'T AVOID IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IS A BEGINNER CLASS.
3. This class is focused on making YOU INTO A PROFESSIONAL AFTER 12 WEEKS.
4. Use logic from 3 to come to a reasonable conclusion to what the class is about.

They also prepare you for job interviews and have other professionals in the business speak to the class, in my class:

• Job Coach Professional Sherri Thomas 
• Technical Recruiter at Nextiva Alex Francis
• Melt Media Tech Director Anthony Garone
• Melt Media Hiring Manager Devon Tackett

Sherri is a professional job coach and guided the class on the process of resumes, interviews and job seeking.

Alex works for Nextiva and  spoke to us about professional interviews, what not to do and what to do. Alex also provides help with resumes.

Anthony works for Melt Media and spoke to the class about expectations.

Devon works for Melt Media and gave the graduates a preliminary professional technical interview with feedback.

Some things to expect:

• The class has you build a project, your own website.
• There are some costs involved which the College cant pay for if you want to be able to own the site
• The website will be about you as a programmer.
• If you cant afford it Jeff can let you make one on the MCOR server

Buildschool is special.

The curriculum is catered towards landing a job in the industry. Everything that is taught is used and applicable towards an iOS developer. The first half of the curriculum is teaching iOS basics/ datastructures and algorithms from the ground up. No prior iOS experience is needed. After about 6 weeks, students will be placed in projects to use and improve the skills they have learned. These projects are not throwaway projects, but can be used in resumes and discussed in job interviews.

The instructor (Sophie) is amazing. Sophie teaches students expecting them to know very little. Because of this, she explains everything in simple terms and does not assume everyone knows all the jargon. This is helpful because it reinforces the basics so students have a strong foundation. Sophie is also very knowledgable and resourceful -- If a student asks a question she does not know, she is willing to go out of her way to research it and explain it to the student in a way he/she can understand.
Sophie is passionate towards teaching and is genuinely interested in all her students. She allocates time to have a one on one converstaion weekly to check in how things are going and what she can do to improve the student's learning.

Once Buildschool has taught the student's everything they need to know for the job, the instructor will provide resume help, interview questions, and even mock interviews. The only gripe -- if really -- is that students are not provided direct referrals. As a bootcamp graduate, it may be harder to find a job without a CS degree. However, I was able to get a job because of the interview help and the skillset that was provided throughout this course.

Overall, Buildschool is an amazing bootcamp that teaches industry standard skills with an amazing instructor who I still connect with. You will happy with the 0$ that you have spent for this experience (:

Treehouse caters to a large audience.  They make many of their materials available to everyone without having to pay.  This is great for anyone on a tight budget or who just wants to get their feet wet. The videos are also superb quality and the teachers are very encouraging.  Their courses cover a wide variety of technologies and languages.

Next, you can pay about $500/year to get additional, more advanced materials and take quizzes and code challenges.  

Lastly, you have the tech degree program which is much more expensive, but is more intense and for those who seriously want to pursue software developer jobs.  

I also like that they are completely online.  Sure, you lose out on networking with individuals in person, but it's also very convenient.
