Overall Pleased With Experience

Created 1 day ago

I began my time with DevMountain in Jan of 2020. I had literally zero experience in computer programing, however I was told by staff that experience was not necessary. For about two weeks leading up to the start of my program I spent my time completing the 'basecamp' work which is essentially some pre-coursework that catches people like me who have no experience up to speed. If you have experience in programming this stuff might be tedious for you, however I found it exceedingly helpful. Once...See more

Portfolio

Created 2 months ago

A designers portfolio is very important. It is what differentiates you over other graduates and designers. Portfolio work was not started until the last 2 weeks. I would suggest starting it as soon as possible. This was not expressed enough throughout the course.

Pros

You get to meet like minded people, learn great skills and network.

Cons

Portfolios can look very similar because projects are all the same.
