It is true that course itself is very fast paced. Devmountain has their course set up in such a way that they help you with the basics and then help you help yourself which is honestly the best way to do it. You will have lessons every morning for the first half of the duration of the course then projects every afternoon to apply what you learn. I’m more of a learn by doing kind of person and I loved every day of the course. I recommend Devmountain to everyone looking to go into web development.

I had a great experience at DevMountain, I loved every minute and miss being there! They have some really great, talented instructors and they really care about your success!

I loved the 13 week I spent here. It was a great time and the staff made it an environment where we could push ourselves to learn and grow in out ability to code.

Good for learning the basics if you know nothing. At the time that I went they were growing fast and so they didn’t have the support they should have for the type of school that they are/were.

You will learn the skill set they teach and not much else. The bootcamp is cheap for a reason you will receive no after graduation help and the instructor time is very limited and impersonal.

I was on a dead end path as a bioanalyst at a company in SLC. I have a degree in chemistry and more than five years of professional experience, but science just doesn’t pay without that M.S. or PhD after your name. My husband, who is a senior developer, talked me into DevMountain because he worked with a few DevMountain grads at his digital security company. So, without any coding experience, I interviewed and enrolled, but was totally unprepared by the time the first week rolled around (I admit, I did not take Basecamp as seriously as they advised…but YOU MUST TAKE BASECAMP SERIOUSLY). I was so lost, even just in git commands, so I was encouraged to attend for a few weeks just to see if I would still like the content or the program, and then deferred for a month…it made all the difference. I went in with a lot more confidence, which got me through the first week. After that, I stayed up until 3am regularly just to finish my afternoon projects. I constantly harassed my husband for help, but at least I did not have to harass the mentors. My personal project was not the best (I got married during interim week and did not produce a single line of code, unlike my peers), so I was asked to complete an additional sim (exam), after which I was allowed to continue to group projects. During the last few days of my personal project is when the concepts started to come together. I felt very confident with my performance on the group project and with my ability to find a job. It took just under 5 weeks and 62 job applications, but I landed a job as a software engineer doing C#, ASP .NET MVC, Angular and SQL Server, even though I learned Javascript, React, Node, and PostgreSQL at DevMountain. Once you learn how to learn code, nothing is out of the realm of possibilities, so don’t limit yourself. Take that dive! You will be so happy that you did when you get that first fat paycheck in that fancy building with those fancy computers 🙂
