    Call me: Future Front-End Developer

    We learned a large amount of information in a short amount of time. But this course really is the reason I might actually START in the software engineering/development industry, and I don't know what to say more than that. This was probably one of the top best decisions of my life outside of choosing college, choosing Software Development as the industry for me and moving to Los Angeles, CA. We learned how to do things from scratch and how to work through problems when they arouse, as well...

    Over-promise & under-delivery

    Their web site is full of hypes.  But their curriculum did not teach me anything more than I had already known through various free online tutorials such as Lynda.com. Very disappointing.  Since this school is unaccredited, there is no credibility in the job market either. Their claim for a six-figure job just by taking tihis class is totally unrealistic.

    I Learned A LOT and feel more confident

    I recently attended the Front End Web Development course from Beach Coders. I really didn’t know much about coding going in, but I knew I needed to learn. This course definitely helped me learn a LOT! We covered HTML, CSS, Javascript and went further into Bootstrap, jQuery, API’s and even React. I learned about best practices in today’s coding environments. The instructor was very friendly and patient. We did some team coding and I’m now building my first app....

    Definitely made me more put-together!

    I have been trying to learn web design and HTML, CSS & JavaScript for a year but never had someone to piece together the picture for me. I thought I could do it on my own but it just got me more confused. It's so different having a human to teach you rather than just learning from Codecademy and those self-learning sites.

    The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to point me in the right direction even after the course was finished.The curriculum was clearly outlined...

    Decent course, but does NOT make you "job ready"

    I just finished the August 2016 "bootcamp." 

    If you have no experience with HTML, CSS, or Javascript, you may find this course to be useful (though I would still argue you'd find a better value going through the freecodecamp.com program). If you have any background at all, you'll find there's not much for you here.

    The course provides a very surface-level overview of some of the technologies you need to learn to to get a job as a front end developer, but it is NOT the s...

    UX Program at Beach Coders

    I went into this with zero web or tech skills which had prevented me in the past from moving forward with my curiosity about UX Design.  

    With encouragement and an individualized program, I not only gained a good understanding of UX, but a solid start on my portfolio and some confidence to move forward after I graduated.  

    Beach Coders cares about the future of its students.  How you apply what you learned there to your job, career, or any area of your life is taken int...

    Honest Opinion

    The course lived up to my expectations and beyond even though I consider myself an experienced web specialist.    It's impossible to have a complete knowledge of all the nuances of web development so I took the course as a personal refresher and to get a guage of some of the newer technologies and review some best practices.   This class is beneficial to even those who have more advanced technical knowledge of web development and I highly recommend it.

    Front End development at Beachcoders

    Coming into this program felt very intimidating and overwhelming at first. However, from day one, the lessons were great and very easy to understand, thanks to the friendliness and assistance of our instructor. Despite the course being four weeks, I learned so much and I feel comfortable with using the skills I developed and being able to apply these skills in the future. Thanks, Beach Coders!
