  • I graduated from UNC's Coding Bootcamp a month ago. I learned a ton of stuff. But there are some things I wish I would have known before I started it.

    I think it's important to realize there is an adaptation phase whenever we train our brains to think a different way when learning new concepts. Persistence is probably more important than IQ in most situations.

    1.) bootcamp is tough
    2.) don’t try to work part time if you are doing a full time bootcamp, it is hard
    3.) study time is important, work outside of class
    4.) classmates are going to drop out
    5.) constantly going to feel like you don’t know what is going on
    6.) you might feel depressed
    7.) talk with TAs and instructors
    8.) don’t be afraid to ask questions
    9.) prepare yourself, try your best
    10.) reward yourself

      @@dimaisatree I spent too much time prior to the bootcamp on html and css, I'd advise anyone to spend most of his/her time instead on learning JS. I did a bit of JS before the bootcamp but not as much as I'd have wanted to.
      Bootcamp was good in that it helped me get started and stay on course, before that I'd start tutorials and hardly finish anything. It also helped me connect the dots on web development. I'm I satisfied with what I learned? Significantly yes, but not 100%. We learned some things that are hardly in use anymore, like Handlebars for front end.
      Think of a bootcamp as drinking from a fire hose; you can quench your thirst but you'll also get messy in the process.
      My advise? Take a part time Bootcamp but study as if it's full time. That way, you get to retain a lot of content and have more time to practice with the weekly homework and daily class activities.

      Boot camps offering two options. Online and at class. Is it same.? Which one is more productive ? Because if it’s same, it’s better to learn online from other cities. Same boot camps offer much lower prices in different cities, and some syllables.

Though, I feel really motivated and for that I'm grateful, because even though I have a degree in Genetics I've always felt like an old person with technology (I'm in my 20s), so I'm really surprised that I'm enjoying learning to code. On top of learning with the bootcamp I'm following Amigoscode Python course on UA-cam, which I highly recommend. He has an excellent way of explaining things.

    I'm currently in the UNC at Chapel Hill coding bootcamp. We just presented our final projects tonight and I can finally say we're done! Graduation is this Saturday!
    Everything you were talking about is spot-on! I took the part-time/six month course while working a full time job. I was not prepared with how time I'd need to dedicate to studying and working on homework/projects. Definitely should have planned some vacation days around the first two projects. For the third, I took the entire week and it made a world of difference.

    I rarely ever comment on UA-cam but I wanted to congratulate you on how clearly you articulated the challenges you experienced. Sometimes it’s really difficult for people who tend to be quick at getting new concepts to be challenged and your video is a great reminder that it’s worth persevering. I’m sure you are excelling at whatever you are doing now. I feel like an 80 year old grandma saying this but you seem like q nice young man with a good head on his shoulders.

But even if your problem-solving skills aren't as strong as others when you first start out, as you gain experience and encounter a variety of problems your ability to solve similar ones in the future will be much better.
