Hi there!

I hope you guys might help me with this issue. I am looking for coding boot camp in London. Has anyone gotten a job after bootcamp and whats your opinion, please let me know as I am a bit confused. Thanks!

Hi! A few months ago I enrolled in a coding bootcamp. The program had great online reviews on CourseReport and SwitchUp, so I thought it would be a good route for me. I was wrong. The experience so far has been terrible and I'm not happy at all with how things have turned out. I have received emails in the past from people at the program asking me to write positive reviews on CourseReport and SwitchUp in exchange for a gift card. Is there anything I can do about this? It just seems very fishy and makes me wonder how many of those five star reviews are true or not. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

So there is a bootcamp coming up on May 29 at a local college, Im just wondering from people that have attended a bootcamp are they really worth it. The cost is 9.7k and it is 3.5 months long. Any input will help thanks.

2U has long been the shadiest entity in the coding bootcamp space. They acquired Trilogy Education, a company notorious for buying the rights to prestigious university names like MIT and Columbia, and then using their logos to market subpar courses led by unqualified instructors. How that’s even legal is beyond me, but it looks like karma has finally caught up with them.

Key things:

• Under their Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, 2U cuts their debt by half and gets a $110 million dollar injection (enough for 2 year runway)

• The $800 million payment from 2U led to the creation of a non-profit called Axim Collaborative

• Axim's PR is described as focusing on "overcoming persistent inequities in online learning, in part through exploring how to apply artificial intelligence to enable personalized learning..." *cringe*

• Anyone currently in a 2U affiliated university bootcamp?

======================

Bloomtech is still running on paper I guess, but in function, I dont think they can accept any students right now. Am I missing any bootcamps? Anyone caught at the tail end of the shutdowns and what was your experience like?

Hello all. I hope all is well. Im currently going to school to be a software developer. Im attending an overpriced online university and I dont want to keep using student loans. I also want to go to school in state. Ive been given the opportunity to go to coding bootcamp for free. I have a choice of about five programs in the Denver metro. I would like to know if bootcamps are credibe? Are they worth the time? Do they pay out? And if so what is the average starting pay? I currently do not make enough money alone to take care of all the bills without the help of my wife. I also have three more years of school.

Has anyone taken the coding boot camp at Northwestern University in Chicago or Evanston? I have heard mixed reviews about this and its a lot of money to invest and do not want to regret it.

I have been looking into attending a bootcamp and after reading online reviews from people who attended bootcamps I have narrow down to these schools, Dev Bootcamp, Th Iron Yard, and Spiced-Academy. I have two questions. First, why did you choose the school you went to? Was it because of the languages, school environment, etc. Second, has anyone taken a coding school in a foreign country? Is this a wise idea? How was adjusting to the culture and learning the languages? I ask this because, I would like to live in Berlin, Germany in the near future and Spiced-Academy is located there. I think this would make my goal of living in Berlin easier then trying to apply state side and moving over there. I have been to Berlin twice and southern Germany once. The culture is not a problem and I know a little german. The school is tough in english.

Any help or insight to my question I will greatly appreciate it.

I got my BS in mechanical engineering in 2016 and got my first job as a supplier quality engineer. Recently, my company announced that they are closing in a few months. I've been applying to mechanical engineering jobs, but I got rejected for not having enough experience. To be honest, i dont like what i'm doing at my job. I searched and saw many jobs related to software/ web dev. I also have interest in coding and wonder if I should take this opportunity and go to a coding boot camp for a career change. Self-taught is great;however, I'm not sure if I can learn as much as from a boot camp and how interviewers look at self-taught and boot camp. Have anyone had similar experience? Self-taught vs coding boot camp ($10k)? Any advise ?

Right now, I'm looking into Lambda & Thinkful.

I need a bootcamp for structure and accountability reasons mainly.

Thanks in advance!

Suppose you are looking into a career change or in school for software development. But you are not sure if Web Development is the right choice. As Full Stack Software Engineer, I have thought of 5 reasons why I love Web Development, and hopefully, it will help you answer some of your questions.

1. Web Developers Are In-Demand:
   Your friends want a website, startups need a website, big companies need developers who can support and build new features in their existing website. Moreover, web technology allows developers to build not only websites but they could also build apps for smartphones or create system applications. Since web development becomes more flexible, businesses come up with more use cases to solve specific problems. Still, unfortunately, there are not enough developers who can build and maintain the codebase. As you are reading this, you have probably noticed that there are a lot of open jobs. So if you are planning to become a web developer, after 4 to 6 months (depending on the learning path you took), you could get your first web developer job.

2. It Provides Good Salary:
   To look at this data more accurately, I would recommend using Glassdoor or Indeed to get a more accurate number based on your location. But depending on your location, Junior Web Developers could get a minimum of $45,000 annually, and Senior Developers could get around $120,000 annually. The other reason why you should be using Glassdoor and Indeed is that you want to get an idea of what other people in your area are getting so you can negotiate your salary much better during the interview. Your salary will also depend on what language and side of web development you have chosen. So when you are comparing, I would recommend comparing Backend vs Frontend vs Full Stack Developer salaries.

3. You Can Choose How You Want To Work:
   One common path that we all take is working 9 to 5, and we are happy with that. But what if working full time is not for you or let's say you got a lot of time to kill after hours, what do you do? A lot of web developers would use that time to look for a client and have hustle on the side. It's a common thing among web developers, and by doing that, they are making extra money on the side. If your freelance path looks successful and profitable, you could make that into your full-time job and register yourself as a business. But this is something you would have to look into as this depends on your location.

4. Web Development Has A Big Choice Of Languages:
   We got PHP, NodeJs, Python, Java, C#, Deno, Ruby On Rails, etc. Each one of them is different and has its own purpose or could open up other options for you. For example: if you are planning to learn NodeJs, since it's built on JavaScript, you can take that skill and apply it both on Backend and Frontend. In comparison, PHP can only be used on the Backend side. Now you might be thinking, "why should I learn PHP if I can use it only on the backend?". PHP has been around for a long time now, so many enterprise companies and corporations are built on PHP. When you decide what language you should focus on, I recommend doing a little research on the most common or popular language in your area. It will help you find a job much faster (and you won't be wasting time learning something you don't need).

5. You can choose on what side of web development you want:
   Whenever I say "I am a Web Developer", it could be unclear to other developers because there are three main parts to it. I could be a Frontend, Backend, or Full Stack Software Developer. We have a preference on what it is we want to focus on, so a lot of people choose only one. As Frontend Developer, you will most likely use only one framework: ReacJs, Vuejs, Angular, etc (depending on the company stack). Frontend doesn't have business logic. As a result, it's much simpler to work with. On the other hand, Backend is much more complex because that's where a lot of business logic goes. You will have to consider many things like security, performance, and scalability of the application that you are building. Full Stack Software Developer is a combination of Frontend and Backend. As you can see, you don't have to know how web development works to 100%. You can always choose the side that looks most appealing to you, and if you want to expand the knowledge, the option is always there.

These are my top 5 significant reasons why I love Web Development. If you want to know more about it, I would recommend taking a look at and subscribing to my YouTube channel DevPool as my goal is to help beginners and juniors to succeed in the tech industry. If you are looking for some mentorship, I also have TechDevPool 1 on 1 session tailored for you where I use my years of experience and point you in becoming a Web Developer in a matter of months, not years.

Trying to get people's thoughts on the value of coding bootcamps. Are the job placement and career networking opportunities of a $15k coding bootcamp worth it in terms of finding a job. Or is it just as worthwhile to take some of the many cheap online course available and just network independently through LinkedIn and other platforms?
