GBThe Best Part of Clever Programmer The best part about Clever Programmer is the community and the energy! It doesn't feel like a typical classroom where people show up and leave with minimal discussion after a lecture. They do a really good job on listening to feedback shifting things around if needed. I am incredibly grateful to be able to work with my fellow peers in my cohort as well as the instructors.

GBFullstack Mastery bootcamp student Fullstack Mastery bootcamp student here. I'm very happy with the results of my bootcamp experience taking me from someone dabbling with code to someone who has a firm grasp of major frontend and backend principles, project building experience, and team-oriented developer methodologies. Pros - fantastically engaging instructors - focus on deep learning of JavaScript basics and application of constant problem solving - guided self-learning projects - readily available community to push you forward as you build and develop skills - emphasis on continuous improvement as technologies change Cons - capstone project structure was disorganized - too little time spent on backend (node.js) as a fullstack program

GBStarted off well, then turned into a disaster I started in the March Cohort. It was the second cohort ever so I expected some road bumps but it was a disaster. I only paid 7.5k since it was an earlier one and it was a complete waste of money. If I had paid ~20k like they're charging now I would have sued them. For most of the teachers in our cohort, this was their first dev job. They have barely any experience. My teacher that we got dumped on in late April was always saying how he's tired from working all day and how he's out of it. Are you kidding me? we spent a lot of money and we get these half-ass teachers. I complained and got moved to a later BootCamp so I could learn with a better teacher and they did so there's that but since I had been teaching myself on youtube (because that was better than the 7.5k BootCamp I paid for) I just gave up and continued to learn on my own. I ended up getting a job based on the stuff I taught myself. They constantly harassed me after I ignored all their requests for a review since "they got me a job". So here it is, your review. Please stop calling and texting me all the time. The students who got jobs from the Boot Camp were basically experts when they joined. Most of the students from my cohort who actually finished are still trying to find jobs. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I have no one to blame but myself. I joined profit with javascript and that class was a joke and then I signed up for the BootCamp thinking it would be different. I made a good friend out of the Boot Camp. That is the only positive besides their willingness to let me switch cohorts. Don't buy anything on this site unless you love lighting money on fire.

CAGreat course! The pre-recorded videos are good, but the live sessions are what makes this course better than the rest. Multiple times a week there are live sessions with the teachers where the students can learn coding concepts, but also ask questions! Also, if you miss one, all the previous live sessions are recorded and available for you to catch up.

GBThe worst possible 'instructors'. The worst possible 'instructors'.. when your 'teachers' are teenagers or less than 25 you should think about what your doing. Just think about that for a minute.
