The case turned out well, looks easy to incorporate some sort of o-ring/gasket/weatherstripping.

This is sick. What are the biggest advantages of a home built system?

Great boot camp. Started my career.

Very Very well said man. I took the Coding Dojo web development bootcamp fulltime, graduated last year, and all of this is very accurate. The MERN stack was easily the most useful stack. The instructor, (pretty sure his name was John), was extremely well spoken and really knew the ins and outs of the stack. I had Alfredo for the python stack, and Narciso for the beginning web dev stack, and they were both also extremely useful and great instructors. Python was rushed and all aspects were kind of shoved down our throats, but the overall topic was good. But, that just about covers all of the pros of it. The Java stack was a literal nightmare. Our instructor Shawn was absurdly unprepared, and was way too immature to be teaching tech. Some of my fellow cohort mates and I were able to solve algorithms quicker than he could and he was very uninformed every lecture. The entire JAVA stack was extremely jumpy and no concepts were actually taught, we were expected to know how to use OOP in Spring which was an entirely new IDE from the gecko as we were all in VSCODE. Career services was of no help at all, and everything they preach was easily found online literally searching :"how to get a job in software dev". If you want to learn nodejs and the fundamentals of react, its a solid stack. Same with the beginning front end web dev stack. But as far as everything else goes, I would advise against it, and spend similar money getting a degree from a local college or going back to Uni which is a MUCH better option.

Hi Jake, Thank you Jake for this video. Where should a person look if they want to expand their skills in authentication and testing? Is there resources where I should be looking?

I'm curious about this part: "Due to complete luck, I was selected to become part of a vendor team at Microsoft." How did this happen? Did you apply for something?

Hey Jake, I was wondering if you could do a review on TripleTen BootCamp? I get ads for that one often, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. I am leaning towards Altacademy so far

Do you think the course is legit? I noticed the address in their email is US based but they say theyre in Hong Kong 🤔

You can see that the writer of this material is a (young) nitwit. He or she is confusing the web with REST web services..

Flatiron graduate here. Group projects should have been mandatory. Especially when learning GIT. They weren’t when I was attending. Ruby Rails was taught as a backend 2 yrs ago before Python…DSA should have been mandatory. They told us to just gloss over it after graduation. Hardly any live coaching for the online part time program. You’re essentially on your own. As a beginner, you may as well just Google the curriculum and learn yourself. Job placements for Junior SWE coding bootcamp grads are extremely scarce nowadays. Wish I could get my money back.

Which boot camp did you attend?

Thank you for the video + context was very helpful. Studying to get into this program right now.

Students shouldn't go into bootcamp thinking it'll replace a traditional 4 year degree because most places still require a bachelor's so it'll be difficult finding work without the right experience and education.

Amazing review! Very helpful! Data structures and algorithms is one of my main concerns. And I would want to really master it before I graduate from any coding bootcamp.

You think you can do a review on edX Bootcamps? It's been 6 months since your last video so you're probably gone for a reason

Simple criticism, you should preface the video saying that you got a job because of your degree, otherwise this video is terribly misleading

Coding Dojo is a HUGE waste of time and money. DON'T DO IT. There is so much more value in Udemy courses.

Great video. But wouldn’t the hands on aspect you talked about be handled by just doing the work as you follow along with the curriculum?

How do you get a client_id? Do you need to have an enterprise plan with smartsheets?

If you are new and don’t know anything in coding… DONT DO CODING DOJO’!!!

Can you review NuCamp?

I guess they fixed the javascript because i see the fundamentals to take now.

you suggest i do this one ? i dont know anything about coding trying to change careers tired of trucks

Which bootcamp did you learn from? Im trying to find the best fit for myself.

Great video, Jake! It was really helpful. I have one question though - as a beginner, how do I choose a programming language to start with? I noticed the subtle nuance that you didn't seem to recommend Ruby in the video. Is there a reason for that? What do you think is the best programming language for beginners in terms of both usability and demand in the job market?

Good info

I am currently going through the altacademy full stack bootcamp and everything you said is on point. My only issue is that the instructor is in a different time zone(like hong kong or Singapore) and it takes a while for my questions to get answered because I'm in the US. Also I don't feel like the text provides enough information for the students to confidently answer the assignments given. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't pick this bootcamp 😬

Another great video. Appreciate it!

isnt the projects important for getting job? why would you say noone look at it?

Hi. will the anwser be considered failed if I look at solutions?

Hey Jake, thanks again for all these bootcamp reviews. Super helpful as there's just so much information out there it's hard to get a good idea who to trust and whose opinion one should take stock in. I appreciate someone with strong credentials like yourself sharing their opinion. Based on what you've seen so far in the bootcamps you've reviewed, if you had to choose today based on the factors you've evaluated (just the curriculum essentially, right?) , how would you rank your top 3 bootcamps? Thanks again and have a good day

Hello can you do a review on We Can Code It, LLC. Thanks in advance.

In re: javascript fundamentals: To prep for the coding challenge and the subsequent tech interview you're encouraged to work through their Fundamentals of Javascript course to prep (you're also encouraged to do codewars to get repetitions) and to work through problems with with pseudo-code in order to demonstrate how you work/ solve problems. They have free info sessions all the time and a free prep course that simulates how they teach their bootcamp, for the fundamentals. (I am not affiliated with Rithm School, I just have them on my radar for bootcamps)

FYI, they have an intro Javascript section on Rithm's site, currently going through the material right now.

Great to hear someone with experience give an honest review ..Much appreciated !

Would love to see a review on Practicum software engineer program

Thanks again! Super valuable stuff as always. Could you review either Juno College, or Turing School? Looking at these two schools as they report their employment outcomes to CIRR. Appreciate it!

thanks for the info!

How can one get in contact with you about automation steps? Your expertise is warranted. Thanks again for all your content!

Thanks again! Could you perhaps review Rithm School or Tech Elevator next if you have a chance? Really appreciate these.

ChatGPT brought me to this video. thank for the info. What booting camp did you go to? What do you think of altcademy its the cheapest ive seen.

Could you please review their 12 week program as well? Have seen some people suggest trying to get into the 12 week program over the 19 week program if possible, as it is older and more refined supposedly.

Incredibly helpful to have someone credible review the program. Appreciate this!

Can I use Postman for logging or do I need to purchase cloud solutions like GCI?

thanks for this breakdown, I was JUST looking at this bootcamp! It would be incredibly helpful if you could review Flatiron 15 week course (which seems the "equivalent" to this beginner one)

You should do a ELI5 video where you explain how to set up this from nothing and make it update the dropdown based on sheet save. There are hundreds of people who want to do this but no one explains it for non-programmer people. It's maybe the most requested feature on smartsheet. You would get tens of thousands of views if you called it "How to set up dynamic dropdowns in smartsheet"

Much appreciated. Wish Smartsheet had a PHP SDK so I could easily integrate into a Laravel application, but I think I can work the Node SDK into the frontend of the app. I hope lol.

Hey Thanks so much I have been following you since you created your channel I had been teaching myself for two years And been working as backend engineer for 4 months but really my goal is to get into big company. I currently updated my resume and LinkedIn to apply for a leap program at Microsoft at the end of September 2022 and would love to start preparing for technical interview I only have two months to prepare and could dedicate 3 to 4 hours each day and 8 hours each day on the weekend the weekend Please I am overwhelmed and really need your help on what is best way to prepare . Should I use books , videos or ?? Remember , i have no foundation of algo and datastructure. I heard that leap program range technical question is between easy and medium to pass . At the end of the leap , you need to really prepare to get into Microsoft I would appreciate your feedback and for sure would give you feedback. Have a wonderful day

did you complete all the questions before you landed your job at google? if not ? how many questions do you recommend for each section to go through if the interview is really near
