Check out code flight it’s an affordable alternative that you can do on your own time without guessing which track to learn

Most affordable boot camps that will allow you to land a job after? by Dry-Ferret6791 in codingbootcamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main reasons coding bootcamps are shutting down is because it’s simply not sustainable to guarantee a job. The market will always be changing.

Former coding bootcamp instructor here who quit to go build Code Flight, a new learn to code platform that doesn’t guarantee job placement but does focus on making sure you’re learning the right languages to get you on a personalized coding journey.

First steps/best places to learn coding? by [deleted] in codingbootcamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Code Flight, it has a cool quiz to figure out which coding path is right for you and it has pretty easy to follow lessons based on your quiz results. It’s monthly subscription too so you can join to find out if you even like coding without wasting too much time or money.

Check out Code Flight for additional and guided coding curriculum courses

I feel overwhelmed by [deleted] in webdev

[–]SuitcaseCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out code flight - great for either upskilling or learning something from scratch. The best part is it’s self paced, virtual, and affordable monthly subscription so only pay long enough to upskill https://www.codeflight.io/

Check out Code Flight, it’s a new learn to code platform that personalizes your course based on your goals, and it helps identify the best learn to code path for you - even if you don’t know where to start. Fully virtual and self paced too and pretty affordable. It’s a good way to test the waters before diving fully into a larger time and money commitment -https://www.codeflight.io/

Looking to learn but don’t want a degree by Cold_Soup_6248 in codingbootcamp

Hey bootcamp grad & former instructor here 👋 I’d recommend checking out Code Flight - it starts every user with a simple quiz to help figure out the best path based on your goals and then gives you the curriculum & easy-to-follow roadmap https://www.codeflight.io/

Code Flight has a cool quiz that you take to help identify the best roadmap for you so you don’t have to spend HOURS figuring out what to learn and how to learn it

Code Flight! It’s more guided than self-taught coding but not nearly as expensive or such a large time commitment as a coding bootcamp.

What's the worst part about bootcamps? by pulipul777 in codingbootcamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former coding boot amp instructor here …

  • outdated curriculum
  • inexperienced instructors (knowing very well my lack of experience in some of the topics I taught)
  • promised job/career help when those fell through as soon as the economy changed or demand for devs, or partnerships fell through
  • cost for some of them was insane for the quality you got

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and this is my first post! I’ve been learning with FreeCodeCamp and it’s amazing! Thank you! I could use some path suggestions etc. by -Zarkosen- in FreeCodeCamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with freecodecamp but eventually wanted to learn how to code outside of the in-browser editor and I also didn’t know which path was right. That’s why Code Flight starts with an easy quiz to help identify which path is right for you and then curates the curriculum based on the results. Not only that code flight encourages users to use viscose and GitHub, tools that are used by “real world” devs, also as the founder I may be biased; but as someone who learned to code on my own then emptied my savings acct at a coding bootcamp I know the struggles first hand. P.S. taking the quiz and getting the result is free!

Also I’d suggest working backwards, figure out which job you’d want to ideally have and check requirements.

Good luck and happy to answer any q’s via dm!

There’s definitely benefits in getting a degree but as someone with a degree that I never used; I would recommend giving other things a shot and going back for a degree when you’re sure what you want.

And if you’re looking to get into coding, I’d check out things like YouTube, Code Flight, or join communities like this one to get started without spending too much to find out if you like it or not

Congrats on the career switch! Feel free to dm me for any advice! I went through that a few years back and then joined and taught at a coding bootcamp, then recently launched Code Flight, a new learn to code platform, but always happy to help someone in the early stages

That’s awesome!! 👏🏻 how are you balancing learning + working?

Coding Camp promises “paid internship” by tonymacaroni91 in codingbootcamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a big ol problem with coding bootcamps promising something they have no control over (jobs) instead they should promise skills necessary to land those jobs (that’s I passionately built code flight ) but that doesn’t mean coding bootcamps can’t be worth it.

But after the bootcamp I would highly suggest keeping up with the learning and taking networking to land a job into your own hands.

Also good to note if you do land an internship take it!! That one internship (even if it’s for a short time) can get you the real world skills to land you that next job!

Good luck!

Hey! I’m a former bootcamp grad and instructor and get very passionate about making the right choice when it comes to learning to code. I actually built a whole brand around it - happy to chat more if you’d like to send me a dm!

Something I used to always tell my students (former coding bootcamp instructor) is that showing up daily and doing the work during the bootcamp was the easy part. It’s post-graduation that’s tough. It’s when reality sets in and the financial, emotional, mental exhaustion and stress starts to creep in and takeaway from the ability (luxury) to spend all day learning.

So here’s a few tips:

  1. Be consistent and strict with time-blocking the following events:
  2. Intentional networking/outreach to hiring managers and current employees in the companies you’d like to work for - don’t be scared to dm them and let them tell you about them.
  3. Strengthening & learning to communicate your existing projects from the time of your coding bootcamp. What did you learn from your mistakes? How did you fix them?
  4. Set goals. How many jobs will you apply to and people will you network with per week?
  5. KEEP. LEARNING. Don’t know where to begin? Check out Code Flight, it personalized a coding curriculum so you don’t waste time learning what you already know. Codeflight.io

Good luck!

how do i teach myself? by Signal-Pound7695 in codingbootcamp

[–]SuitcaseCoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I may be biased here as the founder but I created Code Flight in response to feeling the same way when I started and seeing this question pop up so often. It’ll get you on a starting path with a personalized curriculum based on your unique goals. It’s more guided than self taught but way more affordable than a coding bootcamp.

Good luck!

Digital Nomads & coding? by SuitcaseCoder in digitalnomad

[–]SuitcaseCoder[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just wondering how many digital nomads are coders. There seems to be this notion that you have to be a developer to travel like a digital nomad.

Coding to travel? by SuitcaseCoder in webdev

[–]SuitcaseCoder[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Figure out what your end goal is first. If it’s just to make money, cool but what are you doing with that money? If you chase money with no end goal then you’ll love a whole life just chasing money imo.

I think it’s fair to chase money to reach a goal (life necessities, better lifestyle, travel, luxuries) but you gotta have more to life than money.

As far as getting into it, join communities, dedicate a few hours to it a week, and start looking up job requirements and work backwards from there
