I also appreciate the time they took to review my LinkedIn profile and introduce me to Teal, providing valuable career coaching.

I went from zero to hero in a matter of 4 months attending this bootcamp. The instructional staff is absolutely amazing; they are patient and knowledgeable. Your learning preference does not matter. The overall pace of the course was perfect for beginners and intermediate programmers. I was a bit hesitant to attend an online class because I am more of a 'learn in person' type of student, but all of that went out the window after this course. The classes are very engaging and entertaining. If you are looking to change your profession to software development, regardless of your background, this should be your first step.

When I was looking around for Bootcamps to attend, I did a lot of research. I looked for anywhere that had good reviews and a great team with successful outcomes. I ended up finding a lot of mixed reviews but most of them that came from SD were impactful. I charged straight ahead and went, and it's the best thing I've done so far. I started as a non-programmer who had never touched the CLI, to developing Full-Stack websites.The instructors were great, and all of them wanted nothing but to teach and help you overcome the challenges of understanding your code. There were many weekends where I went back for TA ( teacher's assistance ) hours for some homework assignments, and I always left with a better understanding than before. SD teaches you to program and not just copy paste down a tutorial hill. You learn to think about what you're doing and implement those ideas into working programs.

The Java full-stack web development program at skill distillery is one of the most challenging things I have ever completed. I feel they have done a wonderful job giving my new career a jumpstart. The instructors are passionate about programming and teaching.

From day one, the bootcamp offered a dynamic and comprehensive curriculum that covered a wide range of topics essential for full stack development. The program kicked off with an in-depth exploration of Java, the backbone of countless software applications. The instructors were not only experts in their fields but also passionate about teaching, making complex concepts approachable and engaging.
One of the standout aspects of the bootcamp was its focus on hands-on learning. I had the opportunity to apply what I learned in real-world projects, which helped me gain a better understanding of the lectures through the week and allowed us to collaborate with fellow classmates, fostering a supportive community of like-minded individuals who shared the same passion for programming.
Throughout the bootcamp, we delved into both front-end and back-end development, while also mastering server-side scripting with Java. The integration of these skills provided a holistic perspective on full stack development, enabling me to develop end-to-end solutions with confidence. But beyond the technical skills, the bootcamp emphasized problem-solving and critical thinking.
Something that really made my experience at SD one to remember is the facilitation of networking opportunities with industry professionals, guest speakers, and alumni who shared their valuable insights and experiences. These interactions gave me a glimpse into the real-world applications of Java development and opened doors to potential career opportunities.
In conclusion, my experience at SD was nothing short of transformative. It equipped me with the technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and confidence needed to excel in the world of software development. If you're considering a career in software development and want to fast-track your learning journey, I highly recommend checking out Skill Distillery. It's an investment that will pay dividends in the dynamic and ever-expanding field of technology.

Skill Distillery offers a very intensive coding bootcamp that will leave you with the knowledge to find an entry level developer . This program goes for 16 weeks but honestly doesn't feel like it as the amount of knowledge on full-stack java development you gain from this course feels like you just completed a 4 year course. The instructors at Skill Distillery some of the best instructors i have been taught by period, all of them are very knowledgable of the systems/languages you will be learning and are more than willing to take time to answer any questions that come up. The TA's are also super good at helping you during Saturday help hours for when you need assistance on homework. Over all i cannot recommend Skill Distillery enough if you are looking into getting started in software development.

Skill Distillery exceeded my expectations. Coming from zero programming experience prior to attending, they make you feel incredibly comfortable asking questions. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and passionate about programming and collectively have multiple decades of experience in software development and teaching. They solidify important programming habits and practices that will be necessary when working in the industry. You can tell right off the bat, they love teaching and want you to succeed. The curriculum is extremely intensive and hard at times, in my opinion, which provides you all of the tools necessary to have the context you need to further your understanding and learning in this field. So be prepared to give it all you got. I did and couldn't be happier with what I've learned.

Going into the program, I had very basic knowledge of Java. This made the prework a breeze. The pace of the course is very fast but your given all of the knowledge you need to be successful. After 16 weeks, you’ll feel comfortable building full stack applications.

I graduated from the March - July 2023 cohort. The course will be a full time job including weekend homework assignments on a majority of weekends that will take up at least 2-8 hours depending on the assignment. They offer TA hours on Saturday morning which are very helpful in building an understanding of what you learned that week and building it into your weekend homework. Instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my four months at Skill Distillery. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and really care about the student experience. Be sure to heed all the advice given at the beginning of the course. It is very fast paced and requires additional time of self study. You really get out of the course what you put into it. I had no prior experience with web development and now I'm capable of implementing my own front to back web applications.
Graduate 2023
I attended Skill Distillery from January to April 2023. The course starts off with you hitting the ground running and ends with you still running. This course teaches you MANY concepts ranging from Backend Development to Frontend Development using Java, JavaScript, Angular, HTML/CSS, and many other technologies in between. If you attend this school, be prepared to make this course your full-time job. There is a lot to learn, but Skill Distillery has plenty of staff instructors and resources to help you understand the concepts or to assist you with your projects. They will hold you accountable for everything you do. The course itself was extremely challenging but also very rewarding. You won't regret choosing this program if you are serious about changing your career.

The TAs and instructors were all incredibly knowledgeable and were able to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand.So honestly I can't speak highly enough of the Instructors and TAs. They were always very welcoming and approachable. They always made it clear that they wanted us to ask questions and seek help whenever we needed it, which made for a very supportive learning environment. The curriculum was comprehensive and covered all the relevant topics we needed to become proficient in Java full-stack development and although the coursework was challenging, the instructors were always available to provide guidance and feedback when needed.Overall, I would highly recommend Skill Distillery to anyone looking to develop their skills in programming.
