I am coming into this from the logistics field. A great deal of it reminded me of when I was trying to learn both Spanish and German at the same time. There are things in common between the languages but you must be able to compartmentalize and keep going and it gets better. I would not tell anyone that it was easy. No, It was hard and you gotta be willing to commit to both yourself and your goals to get it done.

No, It was hard and you gotta be willing to commit to both yourself and your goals to get it done. Join a group if you can to stay motivated and meet people going through the same thing. It will help. Our NuCamp coach @Jeremey Adler was very straightforward and knowledgeable. He had lots of helpful tips and shortcuts. Before I start the full stack on April 26th I am going to get as much practice in as possible. A big shout out to the #womenintech on slack. Wonderful women helping each other. Another to my fiance and family for their continued support.

22 weeks and $2000 you can't not afford to do this.
I looked at some boot camps that wanted $15k and 16 weeks of your time 40 hours a week in their city. Nucamp offered me an opportunity to do classes on my own time in my own place and be able to graduate with no debt.

I was really impressed with the amount of knowledge they crammed into every single week. The instructors I had were all accessible. Even the admin are on the Slack channel and help out students. Even if you feel like you can't possibly get a good background in web development with just one day a week in class, give the Fundamentals class a try. You might be surprised at how much you can manage to learn the other 6 days if you are determined and self-reliant. It's definitely a "you get out what you put in" situation. And it's definitely an accelerated learning experience. You have to keep up or else. Thankfully, repeating or rescheduling a class is a nominal fee under $100. These folks are out to revolutionize the web development industry and bring in people who otherwise wouldn't be able to get a job in tech, and I think (as a 60 year old woman) that they are succeeding. - Hamza BouthourTech field • Graduate • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • San JoseVerified by GitHubApr 13, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development
I recently graduated from Nucamp as a front-end web and mobile developer, I found a lot of help in Nucamp Curriculum and from instructors. The course has plenty of exercises and assignments that are showing a real case of using what you learn.

Web Dev Fundamentals Review
This review is for the Web Dev Fundamentals course. I chose Nucamp due to the relatively inexpensive tuition and flexibility because I am taking the course while working full time. I have no regrets about my decision and I will be starting the full-stack course in 2 weeks.

I chose Nucamp due to the relatively inexpensive tuition and flexibility because I am taking the course while working full time. I have no regrets about my decision and I will be starting the full-stack course in 2 weeks. Nucamp delivers on what they sell, I gained a fundamental knowledge of html, css, and javascript that has help prepared me for the full-stack course.
My instructor Olaf far exceeded my expectations, which was awesome. If the content seems overwhelming at first, don't panic. It's a lot of information to take in when you're learning something new. You're going to learn by repetition and doing it on your own. They warn you to be prepared to put in extra time for the javascript section (weeks 3 and 4), and I say please heed this advice, as this is when the course got a bit trickier for me. Google is your friend. It's always helpful to read an explanation about a concept from a different perspective. Don't be afraid to reach out for help! Everyone is here to learn, and asking questions helps facilitate that.
Be mindful that this is a part-time bootcamp. It's going to take you going above and beyond the bootcamps requirements to be competent enough to eventually gain that first programming gig.
Overall, the course gave me what I needed, ramped up my excitement about the world of programming, and I'm ready to continue that momentum into the full-stack. - Cameron R.Student • WashingtonVerified by GitHubApr 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I hope to get a job soon to keep learning software engineering skills, to me is not only challenging but very fun side of the industry. First, I thought software engineering industry would be just tought and stress but now I can say is very interesting to learn things on your own and it gives a skill to always be curious and look for answers on your own everytime you get stuck during developing something. - Mike PenaStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineVerified by GitHubMar 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Flexible schedule and affordable tuition
I chose Nucamp as my Full-Stack developer boot camp because the hours were flexible and the price was affordable for me. I really liked the instructor-led workshops on Saturday.

I'm in the full-stack development program and I just finished the first module (bootstrap). I chose nucamp because it's part-time, online, extremely affordable, and has policies in place that seem much more forgiving and student-friendly than a lot of other bootcamps I've looked into.

I chose nucamp because it's part-time, online, extremely affordable, and has policies in place that seem much more forgiving and student-friendly than a lot of other bootcamps I've looked into. Because life gets in the way sometimes, no matter how well we've planned things out.
The instruction has been pretty good, though expect to do a lot of self-paced learning, reading documentation, etc. Personally, this isn't a problem, since this is good prep for problem-solving as a developer. The help and support is definitely there if you need it, though. And the workshops are great - right now they're taking place via Zoom (but then, isn't everything?). Essentially, you work in teams with 2-3 other students to work through a coding challenge, with the instructor periodically rotating between the teams to check progress and offer assistance. I think this probably does give us a decent sense of what it'll be like in a development team.
In terms of the workload, don't be mistaken: it IS challenging. You will be required to put in a lot of time on your own to get through the material. For me, that's shaking down to 1-2 hours a day, plus the workshop. I'm expecting the time commitment to increase dramatically for the harder javascript-based modules. However, it's totally manageable with a full-time job - it just means budgeting time effectively.
Overall, I don't regret my choice to sign up and I'd absolutely recommend it. - Aislinn Wallace - HendricksStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nucamp is so helpful!
I chose Nucamp because of it's flexibility and affordability. I like that Nucamp is both self paced, but also has workshops every Saturday. The workshops help a TON! It's exciting being in class and being able to participate and dig deeper into the lessons.
