Learning how to code is not easy. Quitting my job, moving 200 miles from home, and attending an intensive 9 week bootcamp was the last thing I ever imagined myself doing. I am a 30-something woman with kids, husband, mortgage, the whole shebang and here I was having what seemed like a midlife crisis. I had a decent job in sales. But it never felt like a career. I felt more and more dread waking up each day. I wanted something better for myself, for my family. But I couldn...
Learning how to code is not easy. Quitting my job, moving 200 miles from home, and attending an intensive 9 week bootcamp was the last thing I ever imagined myself doing. I am a 30-something woman with kids, husband, mortgage, the whole shebang and here I was having what seemed like a midlife crisis. I had a decent job in sales. But it never felt like a career. I felt more and more dread waking up each day. I wanted something better for myself, for my family. But I couldn't see myself going back to school full-time, not while juggling work and family. I wanted to work with technology. I once put together a website with just html and that was fun. I had no idea I could make a living doing it. I researched the hell out of the requirements to be a developer . In my searching found that you didn't need a degree to be taken seriously. Discovered there were bootcamps all over the country that can teach you the skills you need to get a job, and that employers were hiring these people like crazy. Ok, now I was onto something. In searching for local bootcamps I found Wyncode. I read every review, found every article mentioning Wyncode. I applied online. This was the changing point of my life.
Wyncode was everything I expected it be and then some. The material was difficult and fast paced. I wanted it to be. I wanted to be challenged and I was. The lead instructor was amazingly articulate, thoughtful, and rich in knowledge. The TA's were the reason I made it through. They have all been through the class so they know what you are going through. They help you get to the answers without giving you the answer. They help you learn. Most importantly, they help you help yourself. They are there for you the entire time at all hours. They are there to celebrate all the victories, small and large.
From day 1 Wyncode staff are encouraging you to network. There are events on your calendar everyday you just have to choose which ones to go to. Every week a new speaker comes in. They talk about their business, the challenges they faced, what they look for in hiring new developers, what we should be doing to get hired, you name it. You also get a chance to interview with some of the local hiring partners.
It was all super difficult, but also super rewarding. I learned 6 new languages in 9 weeks. One of the most amazing abilities I learned is (also the reason I now have a job as a developer, and I got the offer less then a week after graduating) how to teach myself anything. I am now working for someone who doesn't use the code languages I learned at Wyncode. I am confident in my ability to learn anything and be an asset to any company.
Wyncode is now my family. All the students, staff and TA's are near and dear to me. I look forward to all the events they have. I will be cheering on all the Pitch Days, even if it's from home live on Periscope. I also applied to be a mentor to a lucky person in the next cohort.
I can't thank Wyncode enough for my amazing experience. I will be forever grateful. And it is truly the best feeling going to work every day now loving what I do!
Wyncode provided one of the greatest educational experiences I've ever been involved in, and I've been involved in education my entire life. The curriculum was robust and demanding. The instructor really knows how to explain difficult computer-sciency concepts in language that anyone from any background can understand, and he's an encyclopedia of coding knowledge. He's super helpful and generous with his time and mentorship. The TAs are knowledgable and incredibly help...
Wyncode provided one of the greatest educational experiences I've ever been involved in, and I've been involved in education my entire life. The curriculum was robust and demanding. The instructor really knows how to explain difficult computer-sciency concepts in language that anyone from any background can understand, and he's an encyclopedia of coding knowledge. He's super helpful and generous with his time and mentorship. The TAs are knowledgable and incredibly helpful. They stick around to help students understand the concepts taught throughout the course and to help you when you're stuck on aspects of a project. And they really do their best to help at any hour of the day or night. I can't tell you how many times I was chatting with a TA at one or two in the morning, helping me understand why that pesky bug in my code wouldn't go away. The founders have really assembled a great team, and they've created a true family environment in which everyone -- the entire staff and all the students -- is dedicated to making Wyncode the very best it can be. They bring in great guest speakers that cover everything from how to talk to venture capitalists to interview practice. They provide the opportunity to interview with hiring partners throughout the course, and they connect students to all the networking events near the #miamitech scene. They truly prepare students to make the most of everything they have learned throughout the course and to make the very best presentations possible of their final projects. They did such a great job connecting students with hiring partners that I had pretty solid interest from a company while I was still in the course, and I got the job just a week after I was finished.
I kept a (sporadic) blog about my experience at http://wyncodejourney.wordpress.com
Wyncode rocks!
I am currently taking the 'Intro to Web Development' class. The instructors are great and are putting a lot of effort into teaching the course. I am not so convinced by the Curriculum. It goes greatly into depth. I wish it would link each coding example with a practical example. I have absolutely no coding experience. It is honestly too fast/advanced for me for an intro course. Be prepared to do a lot of extra work at home. Unfortunately the courses are also on the higher end, when...
I am currently taking the 'Intro to Web Development' class. The instructors are great and are putting a lot of effort into teaching the course. I am not so convinced by the Curriculum.

Be prepared to do a lot of extra work at home. Unfortunately the courses are also on the higher end, when it comes to pricing. I am tempted to try another class as I like the environment. This class might just not be the right fit for me.

Post wyncode I was confident enough to know i now had the skills to continue to learn and grow in my skill set. I started in tech staffing and recently got a new job as a developer for another staffing agency where I am in charge of all things tech related. Wyncode without a doubt was a great launching pad into my tech career and is a great family to have for continual support.

Great, intensive bootcamp focusing on Ruby on Rails. Felt like I really learned how to code and not just how to code in Ruby. Also great support with interviews and teaches you a lot of the soft skills necissary to succeed.
The instructors are all very knowlegeable as well as the teaching assistants.
Lastly, it really feels like you are part of a community, one that you will belong to for the rest of your life. Can't say enough good about Wyncode r...

Bootcamp was a great experience. It was hard work but by the end you learn many different aspects of web development. The curriculum has grown and adapted to the demands of hiring partners.
I always dreamed of building apps. Having never taken a computer science course, I never thought it could be possible until I stumbled upon Wyncode.

I always dreamed of building apps. Having never taken a computer science course, I never thought it could be possible until I stumbled upon Wyncode. After taking the nine week immersive web development course in Fort Lauderdale, I was building web applications from scratch. Within one month after graduating, I received a job offer to work at fast growing South Florida tech company. The teaching staff is great and the curriculum is constantly evolving and improving to meet the needs of the students. Wyncode was a challenging nine week program, but it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I'm so happy I decided to join Wyncode. I highly recommend this course to driven individuals who enjoy problem solving and want to build awesome apps.
I am enrolled in the Intro to iOS Development course and I love it! The structured classes and expereinced instructors makes learning Swift much more enjoyable. The class learning style gives students the ability to learn and solve REAL WORLD problems, which is applicable to our everyday lifestyles. The instructors are personable and can guide you in the right direction. So far I am loving my investment into the iOS course :)
My experience with Brainstation has definitely been a positive one! While much of the information covered could probably be found by scavenging the Web, the structured format of this course and the method by which the instructors conveyed the material definitely expedited that process ten-fold. Concepts covered include: HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap. The laid-back class atmosphere and friendly instructors made asking questions very easy, and contributed to the productivity of the class....
My experience with Brainstation has definitely been a positive one!

Concepts covered include: HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap. The laid-back class atmosphere and friendly instructors made asking questions very easy, and contributed to the productivity of the class. However, keep in mind that this course is only 3 hours per week, so if you're looking to become a pro web developer at the end of it you will need to put in significant amount of time outside of class.
Brainstation provided me with such an amazing digital marketing course! Im currently enrolled in school as a full time student, and brainstaiton made it easy to coordinate my schedule with my classes. The instructors were so insightful and helpful, with such small classes it really felt like a community! I'll definitely be taking more classes at Brainstation.
i'm currently enrolled in the intro to iOS development course and it's great. I feel confident in my basic knowledge of iOS development from the course already. Well done BrainStation!
If your goal is to get a handle on web development in a supportive environment full of living beings I think you will be well served. Much of the information may be available on-line for next to nothing, but still there is something about being in a class with real students and instructors that is particuarly motivating. It clearly is not meant to be as immersive or intensive as an 8 hour a day course as it is 3 hours 1 day a week plus whatever time you put into it outside of cl...
If your goal is to get a handle on web development in a supportive environment full of living beings I think you will be well served. Much of the information may be available on-line for next to nothing, but still there is something about being in a class with real students and instructors that is particuarly motivating. It clearly is not meant to be as immersive or intensive as an 8 hour a day course as it is 3 hours 1 day a week plus whatever time you put into it outside of class. Anyone going into should understand this and not expect miracles - although I am impressed by what I am able to do now!
By neccessity the course focuses on a few big technologies, namely HTML5, CSS and Bootstrap with a touch of JS. There is no job assistance in this part-time course which is understood going in. It's geared towards projects rather than tests - so it's up to you to use what you learn - no grades are given. The course leaders are often soliciting input from students in order to improve the material and delivery and I think with this intention to improve, it should only get better with time.
