Kickstart Coding

Past student Andrew was able to land a job as a Data Engineer just a couple of weeks after finishing his Kickstart Coding course! Read his story below After spending years as a software project and product manager flirting with the idea of becoming a software engineer, I finally got up the courage to sign up for a coding bootcamp. I looked at many different options and chose Kickstart Coding because it provides excellent value and is staffed by people that are clearly pa...ssionate about teaching technology. I enjoyed the in-class lessons which are an engaging mix of lecture, live-coding walkthroughs, and activities. The homework assignments and group projects built nicely on the stuff we learned in class and helped to reinforce the concepts with very practical examples. The curriculum does a masterful job of challenging people with some coding experience while also being accessible to people with no coding background at all. While the vast majority of the curriculum is very focused on teaching specific languages and frameworks, the last couple lessons of the Front-End portion of the course are focused on some more general concepts that were extremely helpful in preparing me for interviews. Using my newly acquired skills, I got a great new job as a Data Engineer just a couple of weeks after finishing the Kickstart Coding course. I would recommend Kickstart Coding to everyone, even if you don't want a job as a software engineer. Learning to code in this setting was really fun! Ready to get started?

Past student Anthony was able to land a coding job after being enrolled in our program for only 11 weeks! Read his story below My career thus far had been in data analytics. I wanted to transition to a developer role and ultimately be able to create and turn my ideas into reality. I had not taken any coding courses before this, only online tutorials and books, so I was not sure what to expect. Class after class, I was blown away by the passion Michael and his team brough...t to each and every lesson! The classes were lively, balanced between lecture, demonstrations, guided coding activities, and group work, while still being accessible to a wide range of experience levels. A couple of months into the course, I started applying for developer positions, and soon I was excited to be invited for a round of on-site interviews. Michael was very supportive, coaching me on how to best present my work experience, and guiding me through a mock "whiteboard" interview. Every interview was more challenging than the last, but all of the coaching and prep received at Kickstart beforehand was critical to my moving forward in the process. You can imagine my excitement when I eventually received an offer to be a Software Engineer at an exciting healthcare start-up, and only 11 weeks into the program! Now, I've been at my new position for several months, and I love it. The work we did in class was instrumental in preparing me for my new day-to-day duties. I'm very thankful to the Kickstart Coding team and the help they provided in transitioning to my new software engineering career. Ready to get started?

Skeptical about landing a job after finishing your Kickstart Coding bootcamp? Maybe Sarah's experience can give you some clarity! Now that I am on the other side, have landed a job, and am now working with developers I can honestly say that Kickstart is a quality program. They take a modern approach to teaching and teach what's current in an adapting industry (also what stacks companies are hiring for!). Michael covered CS concepts in an incredibly accessible way for a diver...se classroom with different levels of experience. The course material was the perfect balance of providing introductory guidance and challenge. Group projects exposed us to the challenges of working in a development team and we continued to build on new iterations of our personal projects. It's a privilege to have been a part of such a fantastic community, and I'm excited to see it grow. Amazing how such a short time can change your life, if you're considering taking the plunge, DO IT! - Sarah Thank you Sarah! It was a pleasure having you as part of our program!

Wondering if you have the appropriate knowledge and skill set required to secceed at Kickstart Coding? Maybe Errin's experience can help you decide for yourself! "I come from a zero-tech background. I wanted to build an app. Michael said he could teach me that, so I signed up.... I’m not going to lie. This bootcamp was hard. For a tech newbie with a full-time job and family, the time commitment is intense. I was often frustrated. I cried, a lot. I secretly thought that I shouldn’t have been admitted to the course. But I came out the other end as a web developer with a new job. That hadn’t even been my goal, and you couldn’t find anybody more surprised than me! I couldn’t have afforded the time or money to take a traditional bootcamp. I never would have tried. Kickstart Coding made it possible for me to learn these skills, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it changed the trajectory of my career, and possibly my life. Michael is an excellent and engaging teacher, as are TA’s Maddy and Mark, and I owe them a debt of gratitude. 5 stars for Kickstart well worth your money." Thank you Errin!

Bootcamp educations aren't for everyone. But they might be for you! Check out this article for some insight in making the decision.

You did it! You got an interview invitation. Now it’s time to start thinking about preparation, especially what questions you’re going to ask! https://kickstartcoding.online//writing-and-asking-interv/

Sometimes when we look at a problem, it's easy to get carried away with complex answers. More often then not, the simple answer is the best answer. What bug have you been working through in your code this week?

Have you been working with one JavaScript framework for a while, and started feeling ready for learning something new? This is the guide for you! Learning a new framework or library can be an exciting opportunity, one that’s ripe with chances to advance your knowledge in new areas and reinforce existing knowledge. To set yourself up for success, it’s helpful to ask yourself a few questions about the new material you’re choosing to dive into. While this article will mostly showcase examples related specifically to JavaScript libraries and frameworks, these questions can be applied to any transition from one framework or library to another.

"They made sure that each student understood the material and went above and beyond to make sure that everyone in the class finished the program strong. I highly recommend kickstart coding as a start to your coding journey." - Jensen This is why we do what we do!!
