Inventive Academy
Inventive Academy offers a part-time, 26-week, full stack coding bootcamp in Austin, Texas. Students will learn full stack JavaScript through a series of real projects with static websites, desktop applications, APIs, mobile and cloud-based apps. Inventive Academy continuously layers more advanced concepts onto each topic throughout the course. This layered approach helps the student retain more by constantly reiterating the same lower level material until it becomes second nature. The course focuses on the fundamentals so that students can learn new technology languages quickly. Instructors are embedded in the industry, having worked at small startups and large enterprises.
In order to apply, prospective students must fill out a short online form, and participate in an interview with a student advisor to assess readiness for the coding bootcamp.
Students will get guidance on how to plan their career, navigate the industry, and grow their brand according to a plan. Career search help comes in the form of fostering relationships with recruiters and local tech companies, and Inventive Academy does their best to simulate a real work environment throughout the course. They work with students based on their needs to land that first job in the technology sector.

When I signed up for Inventive Academy about two months ago there were no reviews on Course Report because the bootcamp had only just been registered (under its new name: Inventive Academy rather than Inventive University) with the Texas Workforce Commission. I am currently part of the first cohort of 2019 and we just finished week 8, which is the first week of JavaScript.

I am currently part of the first cohort of 2019 and we just finished week 8, which is the first week of JavaScript.
I wanted to write a review specifically for anyone who is in the position I was in before I signed up--thinking that the bootcamp looked incredible on paper but a bit confused by the lack of reviews. I can assure you that the bootcamp is as incredible as it appears-- currently 5 hours in-class, 4 days a week, 26 weeks and really they are very generous about helping you during non-class hours, either answering questions promptly online or even allowing you to stop by their offices to hang out. Inventive is also a consulting company, so during the day they are there working as professional developers. This means that there is no risk of getting an inexperienced instructor for the course... Andy and Miguel know their stuff and are both very kind.
I suppose it's hard to know if you are fully satisfied with your bootcamp until you land your first job, but so far Inventive Academy has me feeling very confident and vindicated in my decision to attend. To put it in perspective, by the end of the first week you can reproduce the layout of an actual (albeit simple) website using HTML and CSS and by the end of week seven you feel pretty confident that you could replicate just about any web layout that you come across. And there are still nineteen weeks to go at that point!
Sometimes they can throw you pretty abruptly into some pretty complex problems, so you do have to learn how to teach yourself (being able to teach yourself is a necessary skill in the field of coding with its rapidly-changing technologies). But the teachers and TA's are always sitting right there next to you ready to answer any question. Classes are a lot of fun, and it's probably not a bad thing that they are sometimes very challenging.
I recommend Inventive Academy without reservation.

Full Stack Bootcamp
A great class, full of challenges with great teachers. From HTML/CSS to Javascript/Node to APIs and deployments to interview skills and self-promotion, a well rounded 6 months. I was in class and remote and it all worked well for me. I would recommend it to non-coders through devs looking for a change.
