I enrolled in Nucamp to explore an interest in coding and learn some fundamentals to see if the interest was a direction I wanted to go. The fundamentals course taught me some basics and confirmed this as a path I want to continue down. I signed up for the backend bootcamp next.

Inexpensive but packed a lot of knowledge into a short period of time.

I enrolled in Nucamp because it was the most flexible and affordable bootcamp offered, and I'm satisfied so far. The content itself is quite basic - I've learned most of it from other free resources online - but it's been helpful to have an instructor available even though we only get to have a meeting once a week. It seems ideal for busy professionals or parents or anyone looking into an affordable option, and the cohort was very diverse with people from different backgrounds and levels of experience. Having a group to work with is also very valuable and one of the main reasons why I think a bootcamp is necessary, as we get to work together and learn from each other instead of following tutorials. I also liked the instructor for the first portion of the bootcamp (dedicated to a review of JS and introducing us to Bootstrap); she was extremely helpful and could assist everybody regardless of how much each of us knew, keeping us all engaged.

I just finished the Python Fundamentals Course and I was very satisfied with it. It was well structured and I learned a lot. I would have liked more time to speak to the instructor 1 on 1, but I understand that this is a budget bootcamp and the instructors do not have all day to talk to the students. This bootcamp is great for learning about the fundamentals of programming and seeing if it is something you would like to pursue as a career

Its a very fast paced course with a lot to learn. It's not for the faint of heart if its your introduction into coding. There I personally think the CSS and JavaScript portions of the course needed at least an extra week or 2, but stick with it and really set the time aside, and I'd say its definitely worth the investment. Our instructor Coleman Rollins was very helpful.

I am in the Backend Dev bootcamp offtered by Nucamp because the price is competitive and I need to gain these skills. I have been a professional developer for 5 years, but this is the first time I am taking formal education. Overall the courses are satisfactory. The value is there. The courses are dense for those new to coding, however. Just be aware that if you're new you'll definitely have to spend many hours each day reviewing the content.

I chose Nucamp over other programs for two primary reasons. Primarily it was the availability of a "Backend/Devops" program, secondly it was the cost. The combination of those two factors made it an easy decision for me. Seems like a lot of bootcamps focus on Frontend or sometimes Fullstack. My interests lay elsewhere. The content has been great and I feel prepared to push my knowledge further and get into the field.
