Nucamp is a great place the learn coding. I knew nothing about coding when I started the class and now know enough to get started. Most of all I now have the tools to locate help when I get stuck.
The instructor is very knowledgeable and helpful. The weekly exercises are straight forward enough to do, but complicated enough to make a person think and learn.- JanSan DiegoMar 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
HTML. CSS. javascript
I chose Nucamp because it was affordable and it gave me the ability to learn on my own during the week and apply what I learned with my classmates during the weekend workshops. - TomCost Accountant • Graduate • Web Development Fundamentals • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Mar 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Potential Career Switcher in 40's
I just completed the 4-week web development fundamentals class with Nucamp. I'm exploring making a switch in my late 40's from accounting to programming.

I'm exploring making a switch in my late 40's from accounting to programming. As a student with almost no programming experience, I found the camp to be a great introduction that was certainly challenging. The format being online during the week with a 4 hour Saturday in person class worked very well for me. During the week I could learn content at my own pace with plenty of resources available if I needed help - Slack channel, instructor available. Todd Sparrow was our instructor for this class in Knoxville. He has a passion for programming - especially teaching others. He was fantastic working with a wide range of ability levels in our class. I had difficulties in some projects. He patiently worked with me to help me discover issues in my coding - not giving me answers but making suggestions of tools (console log, debugger, targeted test code, etc) where I might be able to self-discover answers. Other students were clearly much quicker in completing projects. Todd was able to quickly suggest additional challenges for them to try to build into their projects. One of these was to add a option to have the computer play the color guessing game instead of just the user. My son and I took this class and look forward to completing one of the advanced bootcamps. We hope there are enough students for the next session as the online/in-person bootcamp is a must for us. - Ahmad SafiStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • SacramentoMar 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Why Nucamp?
The reason I chose Nucamp was because it is reasonable and on-the-subject. Unlike other bootcamps, Nucamp teaches exactly what you need to know at the level you are. They don't overwhelm you with too much material. I am a beginner and what I got from the course made a strong foundation for me. I found my way now. The instructors we had, Raj and Matt, were wonderful. They helped us greatly through the end of the course. Always available and easy to reach whenever we had a question.

Nucamp Review
I chose Nu Camp for the low price compared to other boot camps. So far it has been pretty good ,you get help when you need it and the Saturday classes are there to review in case you didn't get something the first time around - KaviStudent • MinneapolisMar 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp Reviews
Course material is nice & easy to learn. But it would be great if you give more additional exercises to the members.
Also if you provide sample project/portfolio documentation , that will help the beginners easily. - BrianStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • TacomaMar 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals
I chose Nucamp for a few reasons. The reviews were quite positive, the location of the classes made it very convenient and the tuition was reasonable. I felt like I learned a great deal in the class but still feel kind of lost as there are SO many concepts being introduced in a short period of time. The HTML, CSS, JavaScript course was a good way to get your feet wet in coding and the instructor Justin was very helpful. - Marlon BRegistered Nurse • Student • BaltimoreFeb 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
This bootcamp is a bargain and if you put in the time you will come away with skills!
I looked at several bootcamps and the cost discouraged me each time and I had my doubts that Nucamp being so "cheap" would be effective. I can definite say that the cost is a bargain - you must do your part to be successful - have to research terms and syntax if you don't get it after the videos and in class review. - Griffin SchulertFeb 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals in Knoxville, TN
The Nucamp intro to HTML, CSS and Javascript course was exactly what I have been looking for. I've tried on and off for a couple years to teach myself the basics of web development and could never really get going. I didn't have the time or money to go to a coding bootcamp outside my city, and Nucamp provided the experience I was looking for at a fraction of the cost in both money and time!

Very Knowledge instructor
DJ is very helpful in explaining the detail, I have some knowledge before taking this class, but I have a lot of misunderstanding about the JS, but DJ explains it very detail, helped me understand how the JS actually work. - deniellejasman • SpokaneFeb 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
just a little something for the woman who wants it up front
If I could tell you one thing, it’s that you are strong and capable. You are in possession of worldviews and experiences that no one else has and that alone has immense, precious value. That makes you special and unique.
But you need more than your inherent wonderfulness to achieve the life you want and deserve.
You need a map, a map with options, with multiple pathways and routes; you need a map with information on where you can go to make that life happen.
For me ...If I could tell you one thing, it’s that you are strong and capable. You are in possession of worldviews and experiences that no one else has and that alone has immense, precious value. That makes you special and unique.
But you need more than your inherent wonderfulness to achieve the life you want and deserve.
You need a map, a map with options, with multiple pathways and routes; you need a map with information on where you can go to make that life happen.
For me that map was coding.
I grew up in a small town. In washington. As a kid, no one ever mentioned software engineering as a career option. I was vaguely aware that programming existed, but I didn’t know how anyone did it, who those people might be, or that I could someday be one of them. My high school didn’t offer coding classes. What I knew about programmers I gleaned from TV and media, where coders were presented as genius-level, unshaven, hoodie-wearing dudes—certainly not for a creative-minded lady like myself.
This lack of information (or misinformation) would have completely blocked my current career were it not for a few happy accidents that shifted my occupational trajectory (details I’ll save if only because a map should consist of reliable directions, not timing or circumstance.) And as I sat in that conference for two whole days listening to speeches on reclaiming my power, all I could think about was that same information that had been kept from me was also barring these women from lives they might want to live.
No one had told them—no one was telling them—that coding is one of the few careers that can take you truly extraordinary places without extraordinary experience.
That it is one of the few highly prestigious and well-paid careers that you can teach yourself entirely online and with nearly no financial resources.
That you can be a programmer without a college degree and you can start learning to code from bootcamps like NUcamp when you’re 5 or 25 or 75—there is never a time that’s too early or too late.
That you do NOT have to be a whiz in math and science to be a coder. There are different types of programming. Some of it involves complex problem-solving that, yeah, it would probably be good if you were decent at math. But other types are artistic and creative. And that all of it boils down to just the ability to think about and solve problems and the ability to remember some commands to type into files that eventually become websites or apps.
Is coding difficult? Yes, god yes. Life as a developer takes serious willpower, discipline, and resiliency. You must have not only a stomach for failure, but also an appetite for it. Because no matter how much you learn, you will never feel truly settled in; you will have to learn something new every single day to stay relevant and you will need to kill off most of your ego and accept that you will never know everything there is to know.
Coding is one of the few careers that can take you truly extraordinary places without extraordinary experience.
But luckily the qualities required to succeed aren’t lacking in our underserved communities. What marginalized groups lack are resources and opportunities. More importantly, what they lack is exposure to the fact that this path, this map, actually exists. That they have more options than a just few desperate hours with a life coach. That YOU have more options, and i believe coding is a fantastic option ! try nu camp they are great! - McLaneGraphic Designer • Web Development Fundamentals • BaltimoreFeb 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
