Hey all! tuning in from Cali and this is my first conference! I'm just finishing up my bootcamp with Flatiron school learning Software Engineering in JavaScript and Ruby. I have made some projects in Rails and React. I'm now getting readying for the Job Hunt!
Awesome! I signed up last August for the self-paced version of the software engineering course. It's all online, and I definitely have learned a lot! I'm finishing up the last section now, then I'll be on to my final project!
So I obviously signed up last summer, before I knew if schools would be open (I have 2 young kids), and before there were vaccines and everything where I live had juuuust opened back up. So I chose the self-paced over the part time program, because it's the most flexible option. I did all of the coursework online (for several months, at the dining room table alongside my 2 kids). I was able to attend zoom sessions with instructors to get answers to questions and advice on projects, and there are opportunities for social interactions as well. There is a slack workspace, and lots of workshops, talks, and social zooms.
I really enjoyed it. With part time we have live classes two times each week and a very helpful support group. There is 5 mods with the Software Engineering with each mod taking 2 months for PT and 1 month for FT. There is a final Project and the end of each Mod where you have to pass a live code review. At the end you will be paired with a career coach to get you ready for the job search

Hey fellow bootcamper :) I'm also finishing up the Flatiron bootcamp! I'm in self-paced SE.
I went with the Part Time and where on our Final Project! I'm making a budgeting app and so far its been the biggest project I have made so far.
Nice! I am finishing up with React/Redux. Hoping to start the final project next week :) Good luck with yours!

Wassup Jessie! Great to e-meet you. I told this to Richard above but I'm checking out the Flatiron school as a bootcamp next year in DC.

That's awesome! I'd love to see it once you're finished. When you signed up for the self-paced, what was that like? Did you do this full-time at home?

Nice! Best of luck in the next stage and on your final project :)
How are you liking FlatIron? I've looked into it, but never signed up

Hey Richard! I'm looking at Flatiron School as a potential bootcamp. Welcome to Codeland! Hope you are enjoying a fun time.
