What they're saying:

I've found Dev Bootcamp to be far more than just an education on how to build software. It's given me a roadmap on how to change my thinking to become the kind of professional and person that I've always wanted to be.

Imagine spending long hours every day with dozens of the most intelligent, entrepreneurial, coolest people you've ever met accomplishing something that is supposed to be impossible. That's Dev Bootcamp in a nutshell.

I can't believe that in just a couple months I went from knowing nothing about Rails to creating some amazing web apps at Dev Bootcamp! The atmosphere was so encouraging and safe that all I wanted to do was code into the crazy hours of the night with my fellow Bootcampers. I really discovered a lot about myself, how I learn, and how I dealt with others while pair programming. It was truly an amazing experience and I would definitely do it again!

What's amazing about Dev Bootcamp is the environment; it’s full of fun, passionate people who are hungry and amped about learning. The mix of lectures, coding, mentorship, guest speakers, and team projects all come together for an education which is unlike anything I've ever experienced in the past. Universities could learn a thing or two from Dev Bootcamp. The program actually equips you with skills and knowledge that are immediately transferable to the real world.

I wanted to sit next to other incredibly motivated individuals who were determined to finally learn to code. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew that I wanted to be pushed hard. Shereef and the mentors at Dev Bootcamp push my limit daily. The support of the class and the energy in the room set the limit further than I could possibly set on my own. The program is not for everybody. It's humbling. It's hard and exhausting. This is the fastest I've ever learned anything.

Shereef has done an amazing job of bringing some of the smartest, most ambitious, most driven people I have ever met together in one room to work intensively together with the singular purpose of becoming professional programmers.

I have never learned so much programming, or anything else for that matter, in such a short period of time. I never thought I would be able to accomplish this much.
