Wyncode did a great job teaching me the basics I needed to create my own application. You get out what you put into the programming. The staff is incredible, creating an environment that is unbelievably supportive, and family-like. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

When I decided to go to a coding bootcamp I only did so after a lot of soul searching and research. I had a very good executive level job but I was board out of my mind and knew I couldn't keep doing this for another 20 years.

When I decided to go to a coding bootcamp I only did so after a lot of soul searching and research. I had a very good executive level job but I was board out of my mind and knew I couldn't keep doing this for another 20 years. I had always been into computers and technology in general so after researching code schools I thought I could be a good fit especially since I couldn't afford the time needed to go back to school and get another BS in computer science. Wyncode was not my first pick for code schools. Why?. I didn't know they existed. When I originally looked at code schools found a highly rated school in Boston and after applying and getting accepted I was ready to commit until one afternoon I did another google search and to my surprise a new code school in Miami only a few months old came up. I quickly looked into them and went down and spoke to the Co-founders . After that meeting and realize I could go spend 3 months in the winter in Boston or 3 months in sunny Miami. Glad I picked Miami.
The coarse itself was taught by a very smart and knowledgable instructor. I didn't have a background in coding and had only taken a very basic programing elective while in college. I found that although some of the concepts were difficult to pickup the information was well presented. The last 2 weeks are by far the hardest and you feel very overwhelmed by all that you "should" have learned and you feel you didn't. Looking back a year later I realized I learned and grasped a lot more than I thought at the time. Bootcamps are intense and for good reason. Programing is difficult. It takes a person who is committed to learn and put in the time to get better. Im glad I took this journey to change my life and learn to code.
Wyncode has created a awesome network and the staff is dedicated to being part of the Miami tech ecosystem. The placement program is extremely useful and the school is truly dedicated to helping the students and the hiring partners get the most out of the program. I would say that the connections they have in the tech community alone are worth the price of the course.
I'm glad I made the choice to attend a bootcamp, even more so Wyncode. Its been a great experience and working in the startup community in Miami has been a wonderful life changing experience that I wouldn't change for anything.

Going to Wyncode's Dev Bootcamp

I am a seasoned entrepreneur with a solid background in accounting, management/team building, and some traditional marketing. After spending 10's of thousands of dollars on hiring developers for mobile and website applications, I realized that in order for my company to succeed and survive, I would need to become it's Tech Founder and opted for a bootcamp learning experience.
The nine week intensive Wyncode web development course was hard for me since I was about 30 years older than most of the participants. The combination of great instructor, personal attention from teacher's assistants and the collaborative culture amoungst the cohort colleagues, helped me finish the experience and accomplish my goal of learning the basics of computer programming.
My original intent for taking the course was to acquire the knowledge necessary to be able to do most of the work myself with little or no outside hired help. Fortunately, I was exposed to some tremendous talent and realized that my company could thrive faster and better by hiring someone to share the web and app development load. I hired a very talented and mission driven young woman with whom worked with on a couple of projects during the cohort. Without the knowledge I learned and the experience I had of working with this person on bootcamp projects, I would not have made the wise decision to bring her on as a partner developer. We are five months out from our Wyncode experience. We have taught ourselves two new programming languages in addition to the ones we learned at Wyncode. We have redone the original website, started several mobile apps, figured out a coding methodology for a mobile interactive toy with a provisional patent, and will be crowdsourcing our new product in January of 2016. I highly recommend any startup entrepreneur developing a tech heavy business to strongly consider attending attending a Wyncode bootcamp AND to hire Wyncoders to help you in your journey.

Life Changing Experience
I can whole heartidly say that Wyncode changed my life. I spent a couple of months dabbling in code, taking computer classes on line and in school, but I felt like I was missing something. I wanted to gain a skillset that was applicable to every day life, personally and professionally.

Wyncode delivered above and beyond my expectations.
I honestly don't know where I'd be had I not invested in the course! It was the best investment I could have ever made, and now I have an extremely well paying job + working with the community to teach younger girls how to code- it's a dream! The knowledge and insight from our head instructor Ed is unmatchable (he really knows everything) and the Wyncode family is always a message away when you need help.
I want to personally thank Jo and Juha (+ the rest of the squad) for making the move to Miami and creating such an amazing institution- Wyncode, YOU THA ONE!

So great I miss it.
It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I learned so much, not only coding but how to work in a creative atmosphere. I met so many great people, and had so many great experiences that have helped me be more a self-sufficient and productive person, which has helped me far beyond the workplace.

I spent a couple months trying to teach myself to code with CodeAcademy and Treehouse. They were great for getting an idea of what coding is and making sure that it was something that I would actually enjoy. But I, like most people, hit a point where those resources alone are not enough. I started looking for help and stumbled across Wyncode.

I spent a couple months trying to teach myself to code with CodeAcademy and Treehouse. They were great for getting an idea of what coding is and making sure that it was something that I would actually enjoy. But I, like most people, hit a point where those resources alone are not enough. I started looking for help and stumbled across Wyncode. I was quite skeptical that a 9 week program could prepare me for a job in software development, so I started doing my homework. I started here on coursereport. Then, I went to their open house and their pitch night. I asked current students about their experiences. I asked instructors about the curriculum. I asked hiring partners if they were satisfied with the quality of their Wyncode grads. I couldn't find a single negative thing about the program as hard as I tried, so I took the plunge.
What a journey! I found the nine weeks to be tough but quite manageable, and I find myself looking back missing the days spent in the LAB with my cohort. The course is challenging and fun at the same time. You learn not only how to code, but how to tie different technologies together. You learn how and where to find solutions. You get practice presenting and talking in front of a group and working with a team. You get career advice and guidance that never ends. You get plugged into a massive and constantly growing network of developers who become not only professional resources, but also great friends. It's looking like Wyncode Alum are poised to take over the South Florida tech scence.
So I came out from the 9 weeks with multiple job opportunities, even being the infant developer that I was. Don't go into this course thinking you'll come out an expert. You will come out just barely knowing enough to scrape by, but it's enough, and with your new network surrounding you, the opportunities are numerous. I'm now getting paid to learn and strengthen my skillset, and I can wear flip-flops to work. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is motivated, enjoys learning new things, and wants to change their professional life.

The curriculum has expanded since the first cohort and it has changed as per the request of the hiring partners. I am aware of this because my wife was part of one of the later cohorts.
Wyncode helps anybody that wants to put in the time and effort.

I always considered myself as a great self learner and I was not opposed burning through a few books and work on a few projects and hope to someday find someone to higher me. I also considered a formal CS degree, but that takes a lot more resources. When I heard about Wyncode I was immediately intrigued by the idea. The curriculum is very well thought out and very well delivered. The Wyncode team gives you all the resources +more for you to give you the best education experience. The team is 110% committed to your success and even takes the time to listen to you tell them how to do their job better.
Even after you're through with the classes your experience is not over. They have the best Job assistance you could ask for. I was able land my first Job 3 weeks after my last class. As many of the other Wyncoders will tell you, it was the best thing to happen to my career. Nothing can replace the network of people I've developed by becoming a part of the Wyncode family.

Wyncode is gonna give you the tools you need to become a developer and get that job that you always wanted. The part that I love the most is the culture, it is something different and amazing, everyone is eager to learn and help each other from your classmates to the instructors. By the end of the course you will be part of an amazing family that is constantly growing, giving you great friends and connections all over the place. It's hard to come out with the exact words to describe the excitement and gratitude for Wyncode, but one thing I am 100% sure is that i would do it again.

We approached Brainstation and asked specifically if this course would give us the knowledge we needed to sell products online using Facebook, Google etc. We were promised that not only would they deliver but would help us along the way with our project and services. Unfortunately, this was not even close to what happened. The class started out with 22 students and ended with 7 as the content was very vague and very disappointing to say the least. I complained on behalf of myself and many of the students in the class that the content was not going deep enough and that they probably could have put the first six classes into one. The instructors appear to have the knowledge but really are not imparting value to the class. The class is very new and the instructors very young, some of the people that are running Brainstation openly say that they have no experience and are learning on the job. It is my suggestion that you stay away from this particular course until they understand it better themselves. If you are looking for a basic overview this is a good course but if you are really looking for a good course that will really teach you how to market a product or service it is definately not for you and I would strongly suggest you look to another venue.
