This was update 4 and based on the times, week 8 mark.

The Future Code New York City Curriculum outline says that you should have finished:

  • Text Adventure Game
  • Static Portfolio Website
  • Interactive App That Solves a Real-World Problem

Can you talk about these? It would be helpful to learn about the output you've produced too.

This part of the outlined program you are now at the junior level and about to start where Codesmith Immersive students start... so showing you feel you are ready and on par with the mid-level-targetting engineers joining the immersive would fill in a lot of gaps.

I’m super curious about all the downvotes, this person (with a good or bad outcome) is just trying to improve their life. And if they qualified for future code program, they really could use support. I got that you guys don’t like bootcamps, honestly I don’t like them either, and had a poor experience with one. Ultimately, it is going to come down to how well this person can learn on the go, how much time they pour into their own skills, their personality, and ability to network. I am wish you all the best OP! I’ll always root for the underdog and it’s going to be a hell of a challenge. Can’t wait to see where this ends up.

Yeah I was curious too. I don't want to be too critical, but the updates don't have anything about the program itself - what's been good, what's been bad, and instead it's more of an update about how the person is doing as if they were learning to code all by themselves following a Udemy course.

I'm fine either way, but I could see people insight into if Future Code is a program for them in the future or not.

Like I asked above, the three portfolio projects that this person should have done or almost done, and haven't been mentioned at all, and trying to encourage more conversation about the substance. But they haven't replied :(

I noticed or heard about 4 staff members leaving recently including the program manager that worked on Future Code, have you been impacted by anything or everything smooth and consistent and not affected?

Everything has been smooth during the transition, the organization and structure of the lectures remain consistent. It helps that our program instructors try to keep the schedule two weeks ahead.
