    Overall Great Course.

    It is overall a great course for  aspiring web developers. They tried to touch every aspect of web development currently in market. However I am sure that they are going to get better and better in coming sessions.  During my session I was made to understand lot of web development with examples. The only  thing found needs fine tuning is .. Real Business scenario. As most of the examples were based on games only and also the data driven web development was not very much in sync with real w...

    The curriculum is great, but...

    When I joined the program, I had previous exposure to Computer Science Courses through college. These courses focused on older technologies compared to this program which focused on much newer technologies.  With that being said, that previous exposure was able to assist me for most of the curriculum for the course. However, there were times where I really had to invest additional time to get up to speed to get better understanding on certain topics. Overall, it appears the program itself ...

    Challenging course but definitely worth the experience!

    When I signed up for this course, I was only a high school graduate and barely starting my first year in college. At first, I really did not know what to expect, and just came in ready to learn. I was learning different technologies every week, and spent long hours coding to either review the material or finish homework.The course was extremely fast-paced, and challenging. However, I was grateful that I took this course because it was a great experience. I was the youngest in my class and ...

You will learn to work with many different technologies and really learn how to learn. To reiterate, you will get as much as you put in, that means bringing your own passion and work ethic to topics being covered. You will find that web development (and programming in general)...

    Hi Daniel,

    Congratulations on completing the program! We really appreciate your feedback. You have made many excellent observations that are important for future students to know. Specifically, this course does teach students the fundamentals, and how to learn new tools, technologies and languages on their own after leaving the course, because we know that professional web developers are required to expand their skill sets constantly. Also, students do need to commit a significant amount of time and effort to acquiring these new skills. Thank you for providing these valuable insights about the program.

    We’re thrilled that you found your instructors and TAs to be so helpful, since we carefully select our instruction staff to ensure that our students receive maximum support in learning these complex topics. We understand that you would have liked more in-depth career help, please allow us to provide you with the support you need at this time. I would like to speak with you directly, please contact me at (310) 955-4093 so that we can understand your concerns and help further equip you for job search success.

    If you're serious about becoming a job-ready web developer and you're not just going on a whim, the Coding Boot Camp at UCLA Extension is worth the money. You see, web development is no joke. You can't BS your way through coding; you either learn and work the long hours to truly master the concepts, or you don't... Even with some programming experience under my belt, I struggled tremendously.

    Challenges Met with Fun & Support

    I am so happy I took this course. I had always had an interest in coding and web design but was somewhat scared to take the leap into it. I remember starting the class nervous and worried — since my background was in marketing/writing. However, I was quickly met with challenges and a vast amount of support from the team at the coding bootcamp.

    One of the biggest challenges for me was breaking code and making mistakes. I was scared of mistakes but I quickly learned to be comfortab...
