Web Dev Camp

After 20 years of administrative work, my husband and I brought our 4th child into this world, and she has special needs. Because of this, I need something that gives me both flexibility in schedule while maintaining financial security.  I have always enjoyed doing macros and querys and things in excel and always wanted to be able to write programs outside of excel which would make my life easier, so after determining that software or web development would meet the needs of my family, I agreed it could be fun. I started with the basics, and I would have to say YES! It was the right decision! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the beginner concepts. I am moving forward with the Full Stack program and hope to find a position that fulfills my creativity while meeting my needs - it would be a dream come true if I could successfully do full time contract software engineering or web development.

Great affordable and flexible option for people who want to learn quickly...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

It was an interesting experience full of coding and sharing knowledge with magnificent teachers that were more like friends than teachers, so helpful and understanding and patient. For my case I was part of the web development bootcamp that not only as an absolute beginner gave me a strong base in the field, but also now I'm having the chance to practise what I learned in new projects and I'm able to learn new things by myself more effectively thanks to the skills that I acquired. I owe them a lot for all I learned from them and the joyful and creative environment they provided. 

When I entered Adalab I came from a pretty difficult personal and professional situation. I didn't feel I was growing where I was working and I wasn't doing what I loved so, in the end, and encouraged by some dev friends, I decided to change my life. Adalab was intense, was hard, but it was rewarding, challenging, special,... The bonds I have made here changed my life beyond developing and everything I gathered here made a better professional and a better personal. I totally recommend it.

I am happy with my decision to join and complete the bootcamp at Texas A and M. I learned python, Django, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, MONGO-DB, and React JS. I challenged myself through quizzes, projects, and homework. I found support with my classmates and my mentor. The material covered in the bootcamp is verifiable and well researched. I was able to seek help with YouTube and with other tutors if I needed it. I have learned to be more patient with myself and to be consistent through the bootcamp. With the completion of the bootcamp, I may now apply for a career in biostatistics. I enrolled through the phone call with an administration at TAMUK and was placed in a cohort immediately. Before the program, I did not know what to do with my life, I had just been let go from a previous job and felt dejected. Being in the bootcamp has made me empowered. I had some skills in coding, but now I have a plethora of skill sets. I am now ready to conquer and advance the field of computational science.

The web dev program is great but not as an absolute beginner. Its honestly best to go in with as much knowledge as you can because this program will help you put that to better use. Of course, Covid-19 definitely changed how the course performed which is understandable but over all it was a great experience to go through. My instructor, Farish, was extremely helpful in that he does not have a huge ego leading the course and in also helping students. The T.A.s were also extremely helpful. From my experience thus far, nobody wants to see you fail. 

I would say that one of the down sides is that some of the content can be a bit overwhelming to learn but I suppose that varies with each individual learning it.
