The Best Online Coding Bootcamps Of 2024

The UC Chico Production Bulletin System class is a great tool for all upcoming prod coders. The production unit series of courses (TFDP 173) provides instruction and felt like an effective boot camp for what I'm getting into with studio system coding.

My experience at Skill Switch was transformative. The bootcamp was easy to follow and understand. While it was self-paced and all online, they pushed me to follow the recommended timeline which was rewarding. It allowed me to work on meaningful projects, enhancing my portfolio with Python, Django, and AWS skills. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive.

UI/UX Design is a 5-month bootcamp that caters to individuals of all skill levels, offering live learning and practice sessions in large, interactive classes. Participants benefit from personalized mentoring and dedicated career preparation tailored to each group's needs.

I was amazed by how knowledgeable and helpful the staff was, anything I had questions about they had answers even if my question went over the scope of the course. They really helped make me a full stack developer, I went from someone with little to no knowledge in coding to someone who can develop a full-fledged web - app.

I recently accepted a job offer as Software Engineer after graduating from Fullstack Academy's Web Development Bootcamp. Throughout my bootcamp and job search experience, I felt fully supported by Fullstack Academy. Some of the most important things I learned was how to feel confident when approaching any new problem and also what to do in a Technical Interview. The instructors really knew what they were talking about. I should also say that the Career Success Coaches were incredibly valuable also. They were always available to answer my questions and give advice. 

I loved the content, this has been by far the most informative course I ever attended. I appreciate team's expertise and insight on what it's like actually working at a giant company.

The teachers are open to all kinds of questions and that's what kind of differentiates this one from some courses that are plain videos & questionnaires. So - awesome content, keep up the good work!

P.S. got my offer but can't share details due to NDA. But very very glad I found the course and helpful for Alex's tutoring me through the hiring process.

With the help of the Macro Fellowship, I was able to transition from being a senior engineer at a large Web2 company to working at a blockchain defi startup.

I was already learning Solidity and Ethereum before the fellowship, but now I can write and audit secure smart contracts.

I really enjoyed learning a lot about security in web3 and learning in depth how Solidity contracts end up as EVM byte code. The fellowship also allowed me to meet great people in web3 / learning about web3. I really appreciated how most of the Solidity code I wrote was audited—provided me with great feedback.

I took this bootcamp (3 months) course last year. Coding Summit taught both python & JavaScript along with how to use both languages to create web applications. The instructors were always patient and understanding towards the students (I had no prior CS experience). One thing I loved about the bootcamp was the daily whiteboard problems that we would do. This was critical in prepping me for the tech interviews that I would get later on. The material that I was taught was critical in helping me find a job in the tech industry, and I am glad I had the opportunity to change my careers through this bootcamp.

 

I was in the Cyber Security bootcamp that took place earlier this year and I really enjoyed my time. The teacher Monica was wonderful to work with and very much so a team player. I read a lot of things saying bootcamps are impossible because of how much information is learned in a short period of time; but it was not overwhelming at all. I found myself learning at the same pace as everyone else and that has not always been the case for me. 10/10 would recommend.

I ‘ve learned across so far good content and delivery of 35 Contact hours training for PMP Professional Exam. The Trainer was well experienced and shared his expertise right from PMI content outline and PMP Application Process. I recommend the course to professional who seeks to appear PMP Exam and certified.

I paid $2000 for this early on in the pandemic.  Everything was a bit chaotic, as they were moving all their programs fully online.  The teachers were fine, the material was solid as well.  It seems like a lot of sales training programs all draw from the same well.  But delivered all out of order, so I had to spend weeks and weeks waiting to get to the part that I was interested in - Salesforce.  We weren't a cohort so much as a hodgepodge, all of us at different points in the program.  Anyway, I was unable to get hired, but not for lack of trying or solid coaching.  I made a lot of cold calls, and took a lot of interviews, but it was all for naught.  My business re-opened and I had to go back to my old job anyway.  I would have liked to keep some of the course materials, and my interview tracking sheet, but they deleted my account without asking or notifying me so, that was a bit lame.  

After spending five weeks in the Capslock cybersecurity course, I have mixed feelings about the experience. 

On the positive side, the team-based learning approach seems to work well for many students, with around 75% of graduates reportedly finding jobs within six months of finishing the course. The course also provides access to valuable resources such as RangeForce and O'Reilly, and the people at Capslock are generally friendly and helpful. 
Additionally, the course offers a cybersecurity practitioner certification, which could be useful for some learners.

However, there are several drawbacks to the course that I feel potential students should be aware of. Despite being advertised as "live classes," the actual instruction time is minimal. Instead, most of the learning takes place within teams, with students researching topics and creating PowerPoints on their own.

Unfortunately, many of the course tutors are past students with limited knowledge and experience in cybersecurity. I found that I was often left to solve problems and answer questions on my own, even during "live" class sessions. Furthermore, some of the security measures used by Capslock seem to be amateurish and easily bypassed, raising concerns about the quality of instruction and the safety of student data.

Ultimately, while Capslock may work well for some students, I would caution anyone who is truly passionate about cybersecurity against taking this course. The cost is high, and much of the learning seems to take place outside of class time, with little support from instructors. I personally feel that I could have learned more on my own with the same amount of time and effort. 

As it stands, I have left the course due to what I consider to be an overreaction on the part of Capslock, ( They left a hyperlink to their intranet on a banner and when I clicked on it they accused me of being unethical and gaining unauthorised access). 

Luckily I was offered a full refund if I leave so I took that.
