Ruby on Rails Bootcamp Review
This was the right decision for me; it layed out a number of best practices, forced my to discover how I best learn to code and gave me the confidence and foundation to pursue a carreer. I have been working as a programmer since two weeks out of school making very good money. I am stilll very much a junior developer but I have come to enjoy the struggle that coding brings, that begain at Wyncode.

The content covered is relevant and interesting. I really like appreciate that our final project is based on a real life problem that we need to solve.

Before I took the classe, I read that the class size was small and I was really looking forward to it because it fosters better learning. Unfortunately I was enrolled in one of the biggest classes they ever had. That makes a big difference because I found that a large group didn't offer much time for an engaging conversation about the topics covered. It could have been more dynamic with a smaller group. Overall the course addressess topics that are constantly changing. The reading material is interesting and I recommend they continue sharing more reading material that add value to the lessons learned that week. I would have loved to have had an in depth hands on approach to dealing with topics like paid search for example. On the other hand each week we learn from different instructors with expertise of the topic covered. They are passionate and available to talk to us one-on-one if we have any questions.

The course is great so far! The contest is relevant to a large group of such a diverse student base. However, some of the topics I feel require more attention than others. For example, in the first couple of classes, there was a lot of overview on what a brand is (which I'd hope the class already knows), and, while I understand it's important to touch on for brand voice/tone on social, lot of time was focused on how to reply to customers on Twitter.

I wish this time could've been used to go into topics like paid social media advertising in more depth, as I feel like we only got to just scrape the surface. Looking forward to learning more analytical skills!

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.

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.

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 first pick for code schools. Why?. I didn't know they existed. When I originally looked at code schools found a highly rated school in Boston and after applying and getting accepted I was ready to commit until one afternoon I did another google search and to my surprise a new code school in Miami only a few months old came up. I quickly looked into them and went down and spoke to the Co-founders . After that meeting and realize I could go spend 3 months in the winter in Boston or 3 months in sunny Miami. Glad I picked Miami.
The coarse itself was taught by a very smart and knowledgable instructor. I didn't have a background in coding and had only taken a very basic programing elective while in college. I found that although some of the concepts were difficult to pickup the information was well presented. The last 2 weeks are by far the hardest and you feel very overwhelmed by all that you "should" have learned and you feel you didn't. Looking back a year later I realized I learned and grasped a lot more than I thought at the time. Bootcamps are intense and for good reason. Programing is difficult. It takes a person who is committed to learn and put in the time to get better. Im glad I took this journey to change my life and learn to code.
Wyncode has created a awesome network and the staff is dedicated to being part of the Miami tech ecosystem. The placement program is extremely useful and the school is truly dedicated to helping the students and the hiring partners get the most out of the program. I would say that the connections they have in the tech community alone are worth the price of the course.
I'm glad I made the choice to attend a bootcamp, even more so Wyncode. Its been a great experience and working in the startup community in Miami has been a wonderful life changing experience that I wouldn't change for anything.

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.
The nine week intensive Wyncode web development course was hard for me since I was about 30 years older than most of the participants. The combination of great instructor, personal attention from teacher's assistants and the collaborative culture amoungst the cohort colleagues, helped me finish the experience and accomplish my goal of learning the basics of computer programming.
My original intent for taking the course was to acquire the knowledge necessary to be able to do most of the work myself with little or no outside hired help. Fortunately, I was exposed to some tremendous talent and realized that my company could thrive faster and better by hiring someone to share the web and app development load. I hired a very talented and mission driven young woman with whom worked with on a couple of projects during the cohort. Without the knowledge I learned and the experience I had of working with this person on bootcamp projects, I would not have made the wise decision to bring her on as a partner developer. We are five months out from our Wyncode experience. We have taught ourselves two new programming languages in addition to the ones we learned at Wyncode. We have redone the original website, started several mobile apps, figured out a coding methodology for a mobile interactive toy with a provisional patent, and will be crowdsourcing our new product in January of 2016. I highly recommend any startup entrepreneur developing a tech heavy business to strongly consider attending attending a Wyncode bootcamp AND to hire Wyncoders to help you in your journey.

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 have ever made, and now I have an extremely well paying job + working with the community to teach younger girls how to code- it's a dream! The knowledge and insight from our head instructor Ed is unmatchable (he really knows everything) and the Wyncode family is always a message away when you need help.
I want to personally thank Jo and Juha (+ the rest of the squad) for making the move to Miami and creating such an amazing institution- Wyncode, YOU THA ONE!

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.

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 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 coursereport. Then, I went to their open house and their pitch night. I asked current students about their experiences. I asked instructors about the curriculum. I asked hiring partners if they were satisfied with the quality of their Wyncode grads. I couldn't find a single negative thing about the program as hard as I tried, so I took the plunge.
What a journey! I found the nine weeks to be tough but quite manageable, and I find myself looking back missing the days spent in the LAB with my cohort. The course is challenging and fun at the same time. You learn not only how to code, but how to tie different technologies together. You learn how and where to find solutions. You get practice presenting and talking in front of a group and working with a team. You get career advice and guidance that never ends. You get plugged into a massive and constantly growing network of developers who become not only professional resources, but also great friends. It's looking like Wyncode Alum are poised to take over the South Florida tech scence.
So I came out from the 9 weeks with multiple job opportunities, even being the infant developer that I was. Don't go into this course thinking you'll come out an expert. You will come out just barely knowing enough to scrape by, but it's enough, and with your new network surrounding you, the opportunities are numerous. I'm now getting paid to learn and strengthen my skillset, and I can wear flip-flops to work. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is motivated, enjoys learning new things, and wants to change their professional life.

The curriculum has expanded since the first cohort and it has changed as per the request of the hiring partners. I am aware of this because my wife was part of one of the later cohorts.
Wyncode helps anybody that wants to put in the time and effort.
