Excellent Road Into Software

Jackson Tarlin graduated BrainStation

Created 1 day ago

I went into Brainstation to study web dev with some experience in coding through University, but little experience with html, Javascript, or React. Through a series of increasingly challenging projects, a team of supportive educators taught me everything I needed to start building my own web apps and sites. Technologies taught include html, css/scss, JavaScript, React, Node, Express, and mySQL. I was able to build websites as a freelancer directly after graduating, and even learned a thing or...See more

Pros

Cons

You can't think of this as a "free pass" to a career in tech. For one thing, it's a boot camp and will require an immense amount of effort of the course of several months to complete the coursework alone. To truly succeed, even more work...See more

1hr lecture per-day for 9mo then pay 30k

Matthew Smith student at Lambda School

Created 1 month ago

I hope this helps others not make the same mistake. I joined Lambda School with high hopes. I began the program when they still had Tech Leads (minimum wage paid students to help you). The Tech Leads were advertised to some degree as subject matter experts. Once they were removed the value of the program diminished greatly. We started each day with 1hr lectures from mediocre instructors, then you are left to code by yourself all day. If you're stuck, well there is google. Lambda tells you...See more

Pros

I cannot think of one benefit after my experience.

Cons

Too many to count. They're nice until you're trapped into the ISA. The curriculum is free on several coding websites and Youtube, the price is extremely inflated for the value and you do not get assistance throughout the day from staff.
