    Wyncode Review

    Wyncode did a great job teaching me the basics I needed to create my own application. You get out what you put into the programming. The staff is incredible, creating an environment that is unbelievably supportive, and family-like. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    One year later

    When I decided to go to a coding bootcamp I only did so after a lot of soul searching and research. I had a very good executive level job but I was board out of my mind and knew I couldn't keep doing this for another 20 years. I had always been into computers and technology in general so after researching code schools I thought I could be a good fit especially since I couldn't afford the time needed to go back to school and get another BS in computer science. Wyncode was not my fir...

    Going to Wyncode's Dev Bootcamp

    I am a seasoned entrepreneur with a solid background in accounting, management/team building, and some traditional marketing.  After spending 10's of thousands of dollars on hiring developers for mobile and website applications, I realized that in order for my company to succeed and survive, I would need to become it's Tech Founder and opted for a bootcamp learning experience.

    Life Changing Experience

    I can whole heartidly say that Wyncode changed my life. I spent a couple of months dabbling in code, taking computer classes on line and in school, but I felt like I was missing something. I wanted to gain a skillset that was applicable to every day life, personally and professionally.

    Wyncode delivered above and beyond my expectations. 

    I honestly don't know where I'd be had I not invested in the course! It was the best investment I could ha...

    So great I miss it.

    It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I learned so much, not only coding but how to work in a creative atmosphere. I met so many great people, and had so many great experiences that have helped me be more a self-sufficient and productive person, which has helped me far beyond the workplace.

    Life Changing

    I spent a couple months trying to teach myself to code with CodeAcademy and Treehouse. They were great for getting an idea of what coding is and making sure that it was something that I would actually enjoy. But I, like most people, hit a point where those resources alone are not enough. I started looking for help and stumbled across Wyncode. I was quite skeptical that a 9 week program could prepare me for a job in software development, so I started doing my homework. I started here on cou...

    Best way to find a new career!

    Wyncode is a great place to immerse yourself and have a great team of dedicated people helping you, even after finishing your cohort. I was lucky enough to be part of the first cohort and it was a great experience.

    I was not planning on becoming a developer after I finished Wyncode. So for three months after Wyncode I was working at my old job. When I decided to become a full-time developer, Wyncode helped me find a job, which was great.

    When I decided I wanted a career in technology I was really considering my options.  I always considered myself as a great self learner and I was not opposed burning through a few books and work on a few projects and hope to someday find someone to higher me. I also considered a formal CS degree, but that takes a lot more resources.  When I heard about Wyncode I was immediately intrigued by the idea.  The curriculum ...

    Great course. Great people.

    I'm taking digital marketing at brainstation. I'm really enjoying it so far and learning a lot. I personally could go a tiny bit slower at times (i don't have much experience) but the instructors are understanding and are available for one-on-one clarification each class. so i'm not finding it too difficult to follow. better to have too much info than too little. what i really like about the course is the people. the instructors are really friendly and insigh...

    Digital Marketing Course

    We approached Brainstation and asked specifically if this course would give us the knowledge we needed to sell products online using Facebook, Google etc.  We were promised that not only would they deliver but would help us along the way with our project and services.  Unfortunately, this was not even close to what happened.  The class started out with 22 students and ended with 7 as the content was very vague and very disappointing to say the least.  I complained on be...
