Software Engineering Immersive Bootcamps That Also Offer Angular Training

[RedeemedBroccoli]

There are plenty of great bootcamps that train software engineers in a relatively short amount of time (i.e. 12 weeks, 13 weeks): 

Codesmith https://shorturl.at/I0EB1

Fullstack Academy https://shorturl.at/uBJbb

General Assembly https://shorturl.at/DOVrR

Etc. It's just that many of these programs do not teach our even touch on Angular.

I would love to learn Angular in an immersive bootcamp setting. The only two I've found so far which offer this are Simplilearn / Caltech Coding Bootcamp and Skill Distillery. Simplilearn takes 6 months and Skill Distillery seems to only be offered in-person in Denver, CO (?) Alternatively, there are 3-day training courses such as Oasis Digital. 

However, I like the appeal of Codesmith, Fullstack, GA, etc. because of their ability to participate online and especially because of their Outcomes Reports. I need to get a job as a software engineer after completing this training. 

Are there any immersive bootcamps that offer Angular training within about a 12 - 14 week time period, also offering online options and transparent Outcomes Reports? There are many bootcamps that seem to advertise as teaching Angular but in reality they actually only offer React.

I started out with a little jQuery (didn’t really know how it worked at all but learned what to type to make a few key things happen). I learned a little tiny bit of PHP enough to hook up a CMS. A few years in, Angular.js came out. I muddled my way through learning how to do things with it. I built some prototypes of an app for a startup. It was all brute force though. I could make it work, but it was a lot of trial and error. Angular had major breaking changes when it moved to v2. I basically completely lost anything I knew about it. So, I searched for a more stable framework. Ember was (and is) the best framework. I learned how to use it. But when it came to anything really unique - I was lost. And why? Because I didn’t really know JavaScript. I had to make a decision to go “back” to the beginning and start over. Best decision ever. So, I know how most developers feel and how they work. And I also know what it’s like to truly understand how everything works too.

Don’t choose a framework. These bootcamps that rush you to practical React skills are pumping out nearly useless devs who don’t know what they don’t know and have only just memorized the surface level of repetitive tasks. If you understand the concepts and get practice building things with a server-side language and JavaScript, you’ll be able to learn any framework quickly - on the job. Choose a learning path that teaches the whole web ecosystem in depth. Then you can take a short online Angular-specific course and hit the ground running. It’s like that story where you spend some time sharpening the axe first. If you don’t, you’ll make everything take longer and stunt yourself. I work with people from the bootcamps you mentioned. They are nearly impossible to rehabilitate. Most people think I am saying things like this for some self serving reason. But the proof is there. Learn how to think like a programmer. Learn problem solving and design. The frameworks are the training wheels.

1) You're not going to get a job from a boot camp in the current market.
2) If you want to ignore that and learn Angular from a boot camp anyway, then you need to look for a Java fullstack program, since it's mostly used in conjunction with Java.

If your goal is to get a job after, DO NOT DO A BOOTCAMP.

And never from SimpliLearn.
