I ultimately chose to enroll in Nucamp due to the affordability of it. I’ve signed up for the complete Software Engineering Bootcamp path, so it’s hard to give it a thorough sense of "was this the right decision," but it seems good so far. I didn’t understand that Nucamp is part time learning. It did take time to go through the video lessons and code challenges, but the workshops meet only once a week. For me it feels like there’s a lot of "waiting for more." Had I realized, I probably would have opted for something faster, as I currently have the time and energy to focus on learning. Having made the choice, I’m going to see where this goes. The instructor for my class was experienced in the field, and was, in my opinion, an effective and patient teacher. I know I would take a class with him again if given the opportunity. The WebDev course, which I finished, followed a very logical order, starting with introduction of basic HTML and Visual Studio Code. After that, CSS, and then an introduction to JavaScript. I came to the course with some knowledge of JavaScript already, which made it more about "finding the challenge" rather than the curriculum itself being the challenge. It also helped me find my big gap in JavaScript (DOM manipulation). After the course, I feel distinctly more confident in my trajectory and ability with regard to changing careers.

I was introduced to Nucamp by a friend of mine. It worked out to be the right decision because I have truly acquired the neccessary fundamental programming knowledge which sets as a platform to facilitate my progression which will help me understand the fullstack program I will be taking the coming month.

I joined NuCamp because of the idea of instructors being available anytime.

My experience with Nucamp has been mostly positive. Covering HTML and CSS in a weeks time felt a touch challenging, but not overwhelming. This began to change when we started covering JavaScript. I believe it was too much, too fast. With a bit more time, I'm confident I could get the hang of it, but time was a luxury I didn't have. One particular point of frustration (perhaps a compliment?) was while their video lectures were up to date in regards to modern coding practices, most websites that were refered to for extra studing were using outdated practices. This was even an issue when looking up videos on YouTube! That being said, I found the final JS project to be quite daunting....If you have a part-time job, retired, or a Type-A personality that can perfectly balance day job/ school/ life, I would highly recomend this course. Otherwise, I'd highly suggest one get a solid grasp of JS on their own before enrolling. P.S.-- I'm now realising that my completion of this course is contingent on me posting reviews of the school on SEVERAL websites. Frankly, they've lost a star for this.

I enrolled in the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript course at Nucamp because I wanted more accountability and interaction than I was getting from the DIY approach. I had some experience in all 3 languages but found that the course both cemented the concepts I had learned previously and boosted my confidence in further learning. My instructor was excellent and the coursework and additional resources provided made the course well worth the money.

I wanted to learn how to code But I needed somthing that would allow me to work and spend time with my family as well. That is when I discoverd nucamp and it has been a game changer. being able to do my course work when I need to and then at the cost it is was a game changer. I loved everyday of it.

I started a free bootcamp through a community center in my hometown many years ago, but was unable to continue do to the scheduling conflict. I loved it while I was able to attend, and it was always in the back of my mind to go back to coding. While researching bootcamps, I came across NuCamp. Compared to the other programs that I looked at, it was the most affordable, the most flexible in terms of schedule, and equally as rigorous. All three courses combined cost less than most, if not all of the other programs that I saw out there. My current job has generous PD which has allowed me to take the Web Fundamentals course. I'll take the BackEnd course next, then the FullStack after that. I often feel overwhelmed and that I'm not smart enough for this, but then I get my code to work and it's really the best feeling. That sense of accomplishment after struggling for so long to get something to work. Almost makes you want to cry. My longterm goal is to use coding with art, music, and social justice-based projects. It won't be easy, but it will certainly be worth it.

What led me to Nucamp was the price and the scholarships available for women. I felt all the information learned was valuable however the pace at which you learn is very accelerated for a person that has never coded before. Learning key concepts took more time than given to fully understand. Im still trying to rap my head around some concepts that I thought I knew but when I try to apply them I've actually completely forgotten. Over all, despite the material pace I feel more aware of the concepts despite not fully grasping the concepts. I believe my learning style is more traditional in nature and less reliant on videos. Even with all the outside assistance from sling to websites, it could never take the place of an actual instructional class setting. Im not sure Nucamp is a good fit for me to continue with further courses, but it will not stop me from finding the bootcamp that fits my learning style.
