Learning to code in three months of solid 12-16 hour-a-day self-study sessions.
Can save you about 14k.
Get the books from the library or $6 each off of Amazon, get a free IDE, get on GitHub and StackOverflow as well as r/Programming, and get to work.
What do you do once you study all of that?

@kevm3 just proved it

I'll ask for the 3rd time because you keep trying to dodge my question: how many years experience do you have and what programming language do you know?

Like I keep saying, y'all dudes keep trying to give career advice when you don't even have a career in this field.

I am in one of the programs now and let me tell u while I love this field, ur simply not gonna learn everything in 14 weeks at a boot camp and most of the people that get hired are people with prior experience.

There are other programs that teach the same stuff in 6 to 12 month courses. I suggest people to take this path and really take the time to excel in it.

And this is what people like @Xtraz2 don't understand because they don't even have a job in any tech field.

No company is going to pay you 70k out the gate with no experience. You see the same retarded comments from the same posters in everyone of these threads.

@bdizzle is right you posters just don't want to admit it
He's helped mad people get into the tech industry for years. He's not trying to block people out :mjlol:
All he's trying to do in this thread is to get you guys to think CRITICALLY about what you are reading. Actually being in tech and knowing how hiring thinks etc. > an article on a course that you guys are all advocating but no one on here has taken and successfully gotten their 70K 0 exp start from

Eh most companies have some sort of test that you have to complete to show your skills. Not question and answer but straight coding or programming.
yeah they do..and unless you know your shyt most get exposed at that point of the interview...its not just book learning you really gotta be able to think abstract to do the shyt

@kevm3 proved for himself breh because @kevm3 has actually put in work....dude is heavily involved in the field and also mentioned the cons of coding bootcamps... @kevm3 has also mentioned his skillset in the threads in Higher Learning...what do you do in IT? your skills? qualifications?

Companies hiring people from code camps generally know what they're getting and prior to the students graduating, some of these companies will come out to the schools and do mock interviews with the students to gauge their knowledge and assess whether or not they're worth the investment of hiring and brining up to speed with whatever stack the company uses, something that can take another three months on the job which is also why many of the students hired are hired on a 3 month probationary period, a contract to hire.

One of the most beneficial things about coding camps is their connections with other companies who are looking to hire junior developers and their ability to place students in the same room with these employers.

Computer science degrees don't teach you how to write shippable code quickly. Thats what, and the only thing coding bootcamps do, and that's what makes the market valuable. Turns out, a whole bunch of people want apps made quickly, and they have connections to various places to get you wired up in the industry. That's why when you go to a bootcamp people typically don't leave the city they bootcamped at, you find work and stay there.


:what: A computer science degree goes in-depth with high level math and physics courses that teaches you to think logically and comes in handy when dealing with video game physics :martin:

You fools are crazy if you think employers will select someone from a bootcamp and no experience over a Computer science degree :mjlol:

You can check Quora as well
From a manager's perspective, how well do hires from coding bootcamps turn out compared to new grads out of a 4-year college? - Quora
Are programming bootcamps lying about their average graduate salaries? - Quora
After you graduated from coding bootcamp how long did it take you to get a job and what was your starting salary? - Quora

Instead of us shytting on learning environments like this, we should actually be championing them. A straight to the point, no bullshyt CORE classes and electives or seminars wasting time and money that alot of these degrees make you get. We should have accounting bootcamps, and finance bootcamps, and "analyst bootcamps". How many people do we know complain about how they used none of the stuff they learned in college? You know what's really a scam? Alot of those degrees from 4 year universities. I know too many people who got one of those and are working security. One security job even required you to have a degree? A degree to hold a gun and stand in one spot.


breh, an overwhelming portion of those quora answers were from representatives of various coding canps. Of course they're gonna speak on coding camps in a shining light. It's part of the sell.

Think of it this way, if they claim their graduates are getting 70K offers then what type of offers do you expect computer science graduates to get straight outta school? 100k? 120k? Does that even sound right to you?
