@@fsbohelper9986 None! Unless you have prior coding experience, I don’t recommend any six month or less boot camps. Save your money. Most coding bootcamps instructional delivery is too fast for most learners to fully comprehend. They only briefly go over the concepts.

@@upshawsm Thank you for takin the time to respond, very cool of you!Zero to Mastery, Freecodecamp, treehouse, or Codecademy. - what are these, online educational resources? Kind of like Udemy?
@@fsbohelper9986 Do 2-4 months of self study and if you realize that you actually love it but realize that you might need a lot of extra push, then do a bootcamp. If you can teach yourself, boot camps won't help you much beyond career / job search skills (if offered). It's possible and very likely to go from no experience to a junior level role within 1-3 months of graduating from a boot camp. It just depends on your ability to maintain the fast pace required.
That last part with aiming to get 1000 ticks on the whiteboard is an interesting strategy. I can definitely think back to times where I felt like there were many attempts on my part - but the number was probably lower than I felt like it was.
Very wise advise. BEFORE starting a Bootcamp do spend a few months (or at least weeks, but months would be better...) studying and practicing on your own the material that the bootcamp is going to teach. Not only because this way you will hit the ground running and take much more advantage from the bootcamp then the average dude who goes in with no idea about what he or she is going to do... but also because you will be able to make a objective and safe assessment about whether you do have the passion and inclination needed to become a professional programmer, and to do it in such an intensive and difficult way.
This is genius and simple! Why was I sitting there thinking “I should really brush back up on all the fundamentals I’ve learned” and try to prepare for what they’re going to teach me, when I could be learning WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO TEACH ME and leave myself in a far better position to learn throughout the actual bootcamp? Seems like a no-brainer now!
@@MinisterRedPill Complete waste of money if you study and know the curriculum inside and out. A boot camp is not going to help you network anymore than going to free hackathons and/or job fairs.
@@Rust_Rust_Rust I'm curious if you found a job in this market. In which case, the ones that dont typically seem to shoot down ideas without having tried anything of their own, except by just mindlessly submitting their resumes with the hope that a job will fall out of the sky.
@@MinisterRedPill I actually did find a job, right in the height of layoffs (beginning of 2023 end of 2022). I got two separate job offers as a self taught developer. The only boot camp I went to was a free one with a guaranteed job offer at the end. Ultimately, the sponsoring company decided not to go through with new hires so I applied to several job offers and got a couple of them in the beginning of the New Year. Boot camps are a waste of money. If you are going to spend 20k on a boot camp just go to a cheap online college.
My bootcamp told me the exact opposite of what you said. Don't pre-learn anything because you need to be able to learn on the fly they said. And yes that is true in some situations (I'm learning Radix-UI on the fly now), but I think I would have been way better off in bootcamp if I had pre-learned some of the basics, like React, Node, SQL, etc. It would have made the bootcamp a lot less overwhelming and would have set me up to struggle less and probably have greater success.
They can't tell you to learn on your own, otherwise what would they be teaching you? What if you like your way better and end up not going? Now did they reject some students with some cs background? If not why?
I really needed this video. I recently started learning Java and felt that I needed a bootcamp to further my knowledge. More importantly to get the help that I needed when I needed it. One of the challenges I've had is making a decision on what bootcamp fits best where I want to take my career in tech since I am a career changer. Thank you for making this video!
Took Spanish and French and I cannot remember any of it; never applied it, so not fluent. Good point. I like the idea of pre-learning! Brillant. This was a good video, thx for the hack.
I keep hearing everyone promoting bootcamps but most ppl can't afford one. I'm currently enrolled in one but I kno most ppl could never afford it. People should make sum FREE curriculum and mentoring to prove they really wanna help.
If you immerse and constantly grow and learn even after class after work. You'll do fine. If you do the bare min to pass. Does not matter what it is. You will struggle or fail. I do disagree on the "get a 6 figure income after bootcamp" This depends alot on individuals, market, region you live in, your network skills, communication skills, etc... Most places outside of Silicon Valley or High Cost cities will not pay that for junior devs with rare exception. To increase that chance you need some padding to your experience and work history. A degree increases that chances on top of CodeCamp.
I have a computer science degree but I feel like a lot of concepts I don’t remember that well and need to re learn a lot. Would you suggest I study with free code camp, Codecademy etc or should I fork out 5k for a boot camp ?
ourbrains dont work like that male. My parents sent me overseas to Canada to learn English and you think all it took me was just 6 weeks of immersion lol?....what's wrong with you. I've been living in Canada for the last 14 years since I was 13 and I STILL struggle sometimes. Havesome integrity. Learning to coede is the same. You're not gonna learn that much in three months.
Guys I have a question, I’m thinking about enroll a bootcamp( like everyone else here lol) but I’m not an US citizen and bootcamp teachers says “we don’t give guarantee to land a job” I’m not learning programming only for money it’s my passion but after spend all that many (1 dolar = 8Turkish liras) and still can’t get an any job seems not logical to me. You may “ask is there any bootcamps in your country ?” My answer is yes there is no such a thing FULL STACK IMMERSIVE COURSES or something here so what do you guys recommend to me ? Discussing people is always good.
Hello, I am a new for the IT Industries and I need a financial security to my future. Also seeking for a 3-6 months training so what would you suggest to me please? prefer a solving problems and technical works.
Bootcamp will send you straight to a limited job within a failing startup, simply because solid software developer roles require so many skills ranging from problem solving to database and knowledge of multiple programming languages.

Are you still on the programmer track?

Thank you so much for the amazing advice sir, still figuring out things for me but now i finally got some idea on how i should start
Nowadays, many, if not the most, people joining the bootcamp have either CS degree or previous work experience in coding.
Great video! Fantastic advice to pre-learn their course!
