    incredibly fulfilling, incredibly hard.

    Attending the bootcamp was extremely challenging but incredibly rewarding. The intense schedule and demanding sprints pushed me to my limits, yet it was this very difficulty that made the experience so fulfilling. The supportive team work among participants and the dedication of the instructors were instrumental in my completion of the program. Ultimately, the bootcamp equipped me with valuable skills and a deep sense of accomplishment.

    A solid experience overall

    Pros:
    - Teachers were very friendly and open to support
    - Many technical skills were taught and many projects to practice
    - Great staff who offer a lot of support
    Cons:
    The curriculum was a bit tight for a few technical stacks like NodeJs and Express, I think it'd be good to have more time into them
    - The online classroom website wasn't good: low resolution, not able to zoom in to see the details

    Excellent

    I started this bootcamp knowing only a bit of HTML and CSS, but now I have a solid understanding of Git, GitHub, JavaScript, SCSS, Node.js, Express.js, Knex.js, and ReactJS. The instructors were awesome and really helped me grasp these new skills. The projects were hands-on and practical, which made learning fun and effective. Overall, a great experience that prepared me well for the job market. Highly recommend!

    Very eye opening

    The experience was amazing. I had very little knowledge of the Digital scene of how everything worked behind the scenes.
