After One month of being part of a bootcamp coding program I can say It if fully worth the cost of admission. I first got interested in a career in coding after a date with a woman who “Self taught herself” (redundancy for effect and lols) and after 4 years got hired. Yes, 4 years of self directed, self motivated work and a few community college classes later she had that great dream coding job. I was hesitant to attempt to spend 4 years but a coworker who was one semester shy of a software engineering degree (and changed to medicine last minute) told me to “Just code, don’t worry about how long it takes”. With that I started JavaScrippting. A year later I didn’t know what to do. I just looked online and I thought React was the most logical step. I built a custom play SPA(single page app) where you could type in anything and have it spit out how Trump would say it back on codepen.io. But It was taking so long and I felt like I didn’t know exaclty how to get better. So I finally decided to go back to school. These days just knowing how to code is probably better than the Degree. Now 30+ days in I’m almost as good as a Ruby developer as a JS developer. The deadlines, direction to follow, and assignments really get you to progress and get better. I am so excited and when I code and I get something working I absolutely LOVE it. I am so energize when my code works. This is mostly just a testimonial but yep…It was a great choice to just dive in and join the online Software program!
