This is the most comprehensive review of a boot camp I've seen on YouTube. Thank you so much for your time! The name of this company has changed since you uploaded the video; it's now Bloom Institute of Technology.

does anyone have any opinions about the columbia engineering coding bootcamp, it seems really good but I don't see many youtube videos about it specifically but from the curriculum I could find, it covers everything she said to look out for

Lambda is currently being sued and thus changed it name.

Bootcamp is soooo not worth it.. learn on your own, like everyone else.. you will learn everything better

I recently found algo expert and programming expert. If you want inclusive learning structure for less than 300 bucks altogether it’s worth checking out. And yea they teach big o notation. Interview questions, there’s machine learning or fill stack if you want but it’s extra.

This video was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie, my plan was to enroll for a coding boot camp for at least two to three months but then, I realize that’s not gonna happen 😂

My I ask how old are you ? I’m 22 and i want to become a software engineer .but I’m afraid it’s too late and i’m too old for it, because I’ve heard companies like to hire younger people on their 20’s and I’m afraid my age would be a problem

I am currently working on my associates in: IT:computer programming and development. How hopeful is it to be able to get a job after getting my associates, while working on my bachelors?

I already have a B.B.A. in Managerial Science which is basically business analytics and operations management. However, I recently had the urge to become to a frontend web developer. I was wondering from your personal point of view based on your experiences, do you think it would be more beneficial for me to go back to school to get a B.S. in Computer Science? Maybe some sort of certificate program?

One other thing that I wish my bootcamp had done more with is automated testing frameworks. It's something that has come up time and time again at my job and it's something you'll want to have a handle on. Although thinking about it, I don't know that any of the bootcamps I researched ever mentioned testing as a part of their curricula, so good luck on that ( can you confirm or refute this?).
