"In the end, the most important thing I learned was how to learn, which is really the most valuable thing the program gives you."
"But if you can work thru those difficult moments, you will be able to succeed and you will be able to take away so much from a bootcamp like this."
"It's great to learn every aspect of it and to really see how everything work together."
"If you’re coming in with little to no coding experience, then a bootcamp will greatly accelerate your learning and, more importantly, will teach you how to learn..."
"You have to want it and be willing to work hard. It's okay to make mistakes. You refactor and try again."
"You are investing in yourself and you will get out of this program whatever you put into it. Through this struggle comes immense satisfaction and pride in accomplishment when you are finished."
"...you would want to put your best foot forward and commit to learning as much as you can."
"The most challenging project was certainly one that I was expected to accomplish on my own. But this prepared me very well for the real world."
"I love how there are very little limitations when it comes to coding. If you have an idea, then just build it. The biggest limitation is yourself."
"it's imperative for new students to be able to apply the fundamentals of programming in more than two stacks in order to demonstrate that they fully grasp the fundamentals..."
"You are not going to fail because there's no such thing as failure when it comes to self-improvement through education."
