Yeah, u definitely can get tired when learning challenging things. I have to go slowly and absorb and rest between pages of a book. I am not doing Bootcamp before I self-teach it to myself first. Then I'd just learn it better second time around. I have a two-year CS degree and some used to joke I must like pain. For some reason, I am drawn to code even though I am not at all of the right kind of mind to master it. I just like coding. There is something about it.

Hi, did you finish the Bootcamp, was it worth it and what are you doing now?

Hey, which bootcamp was this?

How do the rest of the camp go for you? It’s been two years are you in a good coding job now?

Fuck! Thanks for this comment, I needed to hear this!

I'm an introvert and I can relate to it 100%

@Design Academy Exactly, I too don't wanna take part in any race or competition. It kinda stresses me out and I feel like giving up so that other person can have it

@Design Academy Very sad. And now due to corona I don't know whats gonna happen to people who are seeking jobs

@Design Academy same to u

@@ankita_156 You guys should learn how to deal with it though. I've learned to be confident in my skin socially. I'm almost a 75% social butterfly. I've learned to give to people, trained with their perspective. having used comedy for my social currency for awhile and then honing in on my empathetic/social skills I've come to realize the latter is much better in terms of how people value you in a social way.

What a cute but regurgitated saying. People say this all the time because 1. It’s true 2. It makes them feel good about looking smart but rarely do people include and write examples that others can walk away with something actionable. 😐

Wow this is crazy! I am also a nurse and looking to pick up coding as a hobby to see if it’s something I would like. Best of luck!!

Natalie Custodio- Giiirrllll let’s expand our skills beyond traditional hospital nursing. Cause even if we fail in this coding pursuit, at least we’ve known more now than before or check it off our list knowing it didn’t work for us. But I’m really serious about Data Science as a way for me to get the eff out of bedside nsg, so best of luck to both us! 🤙🏼

@@nataliecustodio6212 Hey Ladies, Me too!! I am an RN have only been coding for 3 months and i love it. Really wanted to go all in with a bootcamp and see where it can take me.

Victoria Krebs what bootcamp are you thinking about? What city do you live in?

I’m a nurse too and I was thinking about going to a boot camp in LA.

How do you like the experience? Are you still currently enrolled?

Francisco C. It’s really hard. Deff a roller coaster ride I can tell you that. Be very prepared. I haven’t even touched on the process into joining a bootcamp. Try joining a prep course which is almost nearly the equivalent of seeing one hands on deck.

How’d it go?

update?

Good luck

Maybe give yourself some more time coding. It's a major life change you're doing there. If you do choose to go, I wish you the best regardless.

Congratulations how is it going?

I also started a bootcamp. But this is paid for by a company

@@roxi.onmyjourney It's going, lol. Honestly, it's really cool but along with learning how to code, I'm learning how to learn.

J Adrian it’s been 3 months. How was your experience?

Jeff R How was it?

@jaykostudios on instagram. Not sure if it’s one of theirs, but it looks a lot like their work.

I just started today. Go to free code camp, it's pretty good, you also get a certificate. www.freecodecamp.com I think, but type free code camp you should see it. Good luck

@Podcast - SørenCast Z yes...i have been in health care for 8 years...5 of which have been working toward getting out. Starting my masters in cis this fall And learning code on my own.

@Podcast - SørenCast Z yup! It burns you out and it kills your soul 😂

@@x-sag3272 I signed up for a paid one but Im doing the income share agreement

@@MrsJoy-dv3dg good luck, I feel you on that I've only been in 2 and a half years but I'm so sick of it

hi. So some courses are shorter and far less expensive. It really depends on how many languages the program is offering and the number of classes. For example, there is a 5-week BrainStation python course that's $2,500 and the classes are only 3 hours. You'd have to put in some time outside of the program of course, but you can start off with programs like those.

There's a part time option

Hi,did you join any in person bootcamp or online?

Degrees are straight BS, college education for programming is straight BS. If an employer isn't honest about that with you then their lying. Even Blizzard, Google and many other big names as well as small business will tell you that. the problem is every freaking person in the world and their pet dog want to be a programmer. They want to study for a week and then line up and get a job. For every programming job out there there's a line a mile long or further. Networking is the key to getting in, because otherwise you're probably never going to get in. A college degree is something people use try try and get noticed ahead of the line but it didn't take long before everyone went out and also got a degree so degrees are mostly useless now even in that regard. I'd say the only way to get in is with Networking. The saddest part though is most people get into programming only for the money. They don't give a crap about programming. They're just using it as another 9-5 job that pays really well. You can spot these people a mile away too because they reek of no passion at all for the job, you can easily spot they're their just for the money. This is one reason it's so hard to get into programming because the 100 people in front of you don't care about programming at all and you do so how do you get recognized, you can't. That's the sad part, there's no way for you to stand out short of an epic project from the others who don't care about programming. I keep going back to networking, you have to have somebody in the company or who knows high-ups in the company to speak on your behalf to get you in the door because you're likely never going to get in standing at the front door and that's the sad reality programming has come to.

@@TiffInTech What was the starting salary? How long did you thg o get a job?

@@iStorm-my5fp There are websites that will give you average starting salary for your location and she said how long it could find a job after bootcamp.

You got this 💕💕

How is it going?

It is up to you but I think at least getting the basic of one programming language might help when you enter the Bootcamp. Definitely do in person bootcamps if you can afford the commute or whatever expenses can arise.

Bootcamps for Game Dev are not worth it

im a bit late but definitely learn programming before bootcamp

Some people like the structure vs creating your own structure learning for free on your own. Either way you're basically self teaching, but bootcamp provides a community and curriculum of sorts as well as the 'school structure'. You can totally do it on your own for free with YT etc

i can help u with part time if have some idea

Hey Maddie. I completed Thinkfuls Full Stack Software Engineering Immersion course and they had a "living stipend" option in the Income Share Agreement (ISA) I signed. Although I am now repaying it, it was definitely worth it. It is not much to live on these days, at $1500 a month for 6 months, but it certainly helped. I am paying 10% of my income for the next 3 years to them, in return. The repayment starts when you get a job earning $40k per year or greater. So, I will be repaying them somewhere between $14k - $16k back total, but about half of that was given to me in cold hard cash, when it was absolutely crucial to tearing down a barrier to my learning process. Very grateful for it and I had a good experience with Thinkful.

Dude there are some really good ones out there(meaning they have a high job placement after graduation rate) however, I think this statistic is relative to the amount of demand in your area. If there are many tech jobs in your area, it should be easy to get interviews on your own. If there aren't any jobs in the area then you might wanna consider moving to a large city. If you want the skills of a bootcamp without having to pay, just download their curriculum from their website and use it as a learning path.

Music junkie, I live right outside Boston so i think there are a lot of jobs in this area. The school is 14k, but I can attend with the G.I Bill. But my main worry is to get more job opportunities. I do some courses on edX and Udemy. One of the course on udemy is Colt Steel which is an instructor at General Assembly, which is the boot camp I’m thinking about attending.

TiffInTech thank you for your response, is there like a website that I can go to and find out when and where these tech meetings happen.

@@TiffInTech Thank You, this is very helpful.

@@kevinhaggins9847 I'm currently going a course from Colt Steel on StackSkills. I am liking his class so far. Did you enroll in the Udemy one?

Same. It would be awesome to find a company to sponsor this. I mean even some prisons offer these programs for free 🙄

She’s also white.

SNAFU And...? So what? Skills>race.

Hey perice, what do you think of general Assembly for bootcamp ? Was it worth it? I’m from canada and have a hard time deciding between brainstation, lighthouse and general assembly, any advice would be helpful

Shoot me an email and I can get you the lowdown 😃 perice09@gmail.com

How awesome! Did you have any coding experience prior to enrolling at General Assembly?

Ben Read, I see you are very enthusiastic about this. So am I. Have you started with improving your coding? How is it going?

How is it going

You don't have to be, but it helps. Let me give you some advice. Don't worry about what could cause you issues with trying a bootcamp. Begin to learn code on your own, and when you are faced with problems, reach out to different communities. You will be surprised, how willing people are to help, if you just ask. There are plenty of sub-reddits that are based on the different codes such as python, java, ruby, etc.., and people on those can be extremely helpful. Don't worry about your weaknesses, approach problems as they come, and do everything within your power to solve them, when you can't solve them, seek help from others. Don't shy away from changing you life when the only thing that is holding you back is algebra, thats just an excuse my dude.

Lighthouse labs would be my number one suggestion! They have an awesome hiring rate, I have worked with some of their grads and it seems like an incredible program. If you have more questions about it though please feel free to ask me!

Team Treehouse is also recommended a bit also, just another option :)

Hey! I would highly suggest lighthouse labs data science bootcamp. If you have any questions about it or bootcamps feel free to send me an email at info@thisistiffin.com to connect!

@@TiffInTech . Thank you so much!

@@TiffInTech Can you please recommend any bootcamp in berlin for web development?

I went to Brainstation but would highly suggest Lighthouse Labs! Feel free to email me at contact.tiffintech@gmail.com if you have any specific bootcamp questions! As someone who has been there I’m always happy to help

@@TiffInTech Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Oh nice. How did it go?

@jaykostudios on instagram. Not sure if it’s one of theirs, but it looks a lot like their work.

Do projects. Show the projects to convince your future employer that you can get the necessary work done

@@danbra2105 thank you!

I think if you don't have a degree in CS, I suggest you attach projects together with your CV when you apply (For web development, there are tools you can use to convert html files to urls). That way, there's a higher chance that the HR will entertain you. Once that happens, the rest is up to exams and interviews

A lot of companies take degrees into account, but other than that they want to see what you have made and that you are capable. Projects and a portfolio site are things that you need.

Probably not too confidently unless its just static sites or very basic full stack apps

thank you! Yes the one I went to did! Most do! Also I used resources online to practice algorithms I used freecodecamp alot

What type of coding do you want to do? Algos are nice but not really necessary for web dev unless you're applying at FAANGs or whatever.

@@Loki_Dokie react js front-end web development. I have heard that the interviews are very algorithm based. They ask you a lot of questions on them.

@@mariananikolopoulou534 here are 2 videos on it if you'd like to check them out, it isn't a requirement always but if it's something you really want to learn then I'm all for learning new things! I just wouldn't let it get in the way of learning the 3 that you need first for web dev. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZliqtOdqt3HgYU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h556ZLelxr2pfWQ.html

That is cool Makgabo, I am thinking on registering in similar course from The University of Texas at Austin, can you share with me where are you taking your course?

@@LC-ie8wk @Hyperiondev is the name of the institution here in South Africa 🌍. It's only online due to the lockdown regulations.

@@mmathatoable how has learning online effected your understanding of the material?

1 year before me there mate, on the same journey, can I ask you how was your experience?

She indicated in the video that she had some of the “basics” in her undergrad - I suggest you watch the video.

Hi which bootcamp did you start at?

Sarah Kristina did you pass? how was it?

It was in Quebec :) and haha yes I passed and I'm working as a Full Stack Developer now!

Sarah Kristina did you enroll in JavaScript?

@@Khaatumo411 yes! We did JavaScript with a focus on node and react :)

Depends on your MOS man. They'll train you up in whatever your job is. My advice: if you're doing it for professional development after you get out, then MAYBE go for it. If you're doing it to prepare you for your job, don't. They'll train you well and you'll have opportunities to pursue higher education on the side on the government's dime, ESPECIALLY with the AF (coming from a marine here pursuing a comp sci degree). Additionally, you'll get the GI Bill so you're probably better off saving your money.

Definitely no. That's like going backwards. I'm an E-6 been active duty for 13 years. Don't go backwards man, the military is not what you see in TV.

The Fit Programmer should I use the gi bill for coding bootcamp or try get degree after I get out?

Thank yall for the info. 🙏🏾

@@tribouletr The Hero We Deserve

How are you getting on now? I’m looking at Makers.

How did everything go brother ? You find a job? Hope you’re doing well

Stephen Dunford I am signing up for Columbia Nyc online Ux bootcamp. They have full stack as well.

It is a good program (good reputation, affordable cost 10K and free housing for students). The biggest cons is it is in Utah. Unless you are planning to stay in Utah, then it would not be a cons for you. Their job network is pretty weak outside of Utah.

Mike Torres please don’t do it

You're so welcome!

Blaine Peoples If you already have a degree in engineering, getting a job could take you as fast as a month. Without one, you have to a) be at the top of your cohort and b) have luck on your side for it to take 3-5 months. 6-10 months is a more realistic time frame, but even then, a job is not guaranteed. I know people who are still unemployed after finishing bootcamp 1.5 years ago.
