    Best investment!

    I entered this program very green and very nervous. I had little experience coding and was embarking on a new career in a new field. It's truly incredible all that I have learned and accomplished in six months. My instructor, tutor, and TAs were wonderful - so patient and smart - even when I felt stressed I never felt alone. I entered knowing only HTML and CSS. Now I can build a server and React app - amazing! My confidence has soared and I have made a family in my cohort that I am forever...

    Never too late

    Working in HR for 6 years in different industries, interviewing hundreds of people, I think this is enough for me to understand "You'll need this in the future", "this", I mean, the developer mindset. Take a look at the "Zen of Coding", you will understand why a programmer mindset can help you in lots of ways ----whether it is a challenging software problem or “hacking” other aspects of your lives like travel planning or winning the game in Dave & Buster's or relationships.

    Full Stack Part Time Coding Bootcamp

    Prior to taking the Bootcamp I was creating websites using Wix/shopify/weebly etc. for clients and wanted to understand more about what went into building a website and hosting the site myself. I used to dabble in code back in myspace days so when I saw Rutgers was having a part time bootcamp I jumped on the opportunity. I liked the fact that I could still work my fulltime job and attend the course. 

    Compared to other Bootcamps I saw online Rutgers was close to my work/home and a...

    The Best Decision!

    I took this bootcamp six months after getting my undergraduate degree in Mathematics because I didn't have the skills I needed to the job I wanted. This was after declaring that I wouldn't go back to school for at least 2 years! I am so happy I went back on that declaration! The six months that I spend learning coding were so fun! I learnt so much and had a phenomenal support team. The skills I learnt in the bootcamp help me greatly in my current job (which I absolutely love doing!) and I'...

If you take this seriously, and stay on task and keep learning outside the classroom and keep pushing on, you will really be set up to understand programming. I am coming from virtually NO programming experience. Full disclosure, I do have a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. However, we did not learn any coding.

    I have a background in IT but I changed careers 13 years ago.  I spent 13 years in a completely unrelated and non technical industry.  At some point I realized I had no career path left to me. I decided I wanted to go back to technology, and a bootcamp would be the best way to re-invigorate my skills in technology.  I always wanted to learn to properly code(i was mostly self tau\ght prior), and I always hated traditional courses teaching programming languages - they focused too...

    So, one day I was at work checking my e-mail when I saw an ad for the Rutgers coding boot camp. I had always wanted to get into coding but didn’t think afford the traditional route of a 4-year degree. After learning more about the boot camp I decided to take the risk. The full-time course was the most mentally challenging thing I have undertook. I cannot say enough good things about my instructor Franklin. Not only did he inspire us to keep going, I always felt like he genuinely cared abou...
