“As someone unfamiliar with a ‘boot camp’ for any skill set, this program exceeded expectations. The course was rigorous, intense, and challenging. However, the support I received from my class instructor and teaching assistants was great, so I never felt alone when a certain line of code wasn’t running properly. This course has kickstarted a new career in something I’m passionate about.”
