Software Engineering

The software Engineering bootcamp with Tripleten has been great for me. It really helps you feel like you're in the real world while working on the course. I find the tutors most effective because if you run into an issue with a project, they are there to help and will even record videos with your code if that helps you learn better! This program helps me achive my main goal of learning software engineering in hopes of growing with my current company.

I am over halfway with the TripleTen code school and I have a positive impression overall. The goal for any bootcamp and their students is to teach them the skills (tech and non-tech) needed to break into their chosen industry. TripleTen does a good job doing that. They teach a full-stack curriculum based on JavaScript for the SE course. It is very challenging but it is logically broken up into steps going from theory to practice to building a project. If you ever get stuck, there are tutors who are skilled at the problems you are facing and will help you through it. They also teach other important skills such as networking. Overall, I think if you are interested in joining a bootcamp, TripleTen is a solid choice.

I'm currently enrolled in the  TripleTen Online Bootcamp, and it has completely changed my life. The program not only equipped me with the technical skills I needed to excel in my career, but it also completely transformed my daily routine, habits, and motivations. The community managers and tutors were incredibly helpful, providing me with the support and guidance I needed to succeed. The community that has been created around the bootcamp is nothing short of amazing, with a wealth of resources and support available at every step of the journey. Thanks to this bootcamp, I am now thriving in my career and living my best life. I cannot recommend it enough!

I was hesitant to trust bootcamps or courses and had been searching for a company that I felt was legitimate and truly offered real-world skills. After interviewing multiple recruiters from various organizations, I decided to go with TripleTen(formerly Practicum) as their structure seemed best fit for my life. I was skeptical of ANY bootcamp that they would provide the skills I was searching for to be competitive in this field. After completing multiple steps of the Software Engineer course, it's safe to say I am thrilled that I made the decision to go with TripleTen. The course layouts and information, real-world projects, career preparation, and community of students and tutors has made this an outstanding experience.

When I first delved into software boot camps, the reviews left me skeptical, but TripleTen stood out. Initially unsure of what to expect, I quickly got into the groove. For a while I didn't need the help of the tutors, but as I delved deeper, they became a crucial resource. I have fully graduated from the program now, and overall my experience was stellar. The tutors were consistently there when I needed them, and the code reviewers offered super helpful feedback. Overall, TripleTen's software engineer boot camp exceeded my expectations. I was easily able to grasp the material, and I appreciated the gradual reduction in hand-holding as I progressed through the sprints. The emphasis on real-world projects, externship programs, and their free SQL course showcased TripleTen's dedication to a well-rounded learning experience.

I chose the software engineering path because I was drawn by its high demand, rewarding salary, flexibility, and work-life balance. Practicum's immersive approach to learning has been instrumental in my journey, providing real-world simulations through its sprints and project deadlines that sharpen my time management skills.Interactions with tutors and rigorous code reviews have enriched my technical and communication abilities, enabling me to articulate questions effectively and write cleaner, more efficient code. Moreover, Practicum's comprehensive resources, particularly the career preparation aspect, have been indispensable. They are propelling me towards my ultimate goal: becoming a proficient software engineer.

I came into this bootcamp with some experience already and so I was worried I would feel held back going through a slow review process, but practicum is designed well so that I can move at my own pace, speeding up and slowing down as needed with my interest, experience, and personal life going on at the same time. The tutors are wonderful and patient and helpful and overall I have been really glad to have found this bootcamp.

At December 2022 I started Software Engineering program with Practicum. Since this moment alot of things has changed, the program is so organized and well developed with a way that makes you amazed of how fast you have developed as a programmer. The amount of support you have from tutors and comunity managers is awesome, all I can say is people who work over there are really welling to help and they like doing so which is in my opinion, the most important trait that makes an educational platform success.

I am twenty years old and am trying to get my life together. My priority is to become financially stable as soon as possible. The sooner I am financially stable, the sooner I will be able to enjoy my life and pursue more personal goals. Moreover, after much research, I confidently concluded that software engineering provides not only a comfortable, enjoyable work environment, but also the kind of pay that would most definitely help me accomplish my goal of becoming financially stable. Software engineering has always peaked my interest. 
As far back as I can remember, working with computers has always been a dream. To be able to understand the magic behind technology is an interest that has never stopped lingering in the back of my head. If I am not mistaken, my first time finding myself interested in computers was in one of those movies that are similar to the “Mission Impossible” series in the scenes where there is that techie/hacker and says something like “Just one second, I am hacking my way into the mainframe… ANNDD done!” as the hacker is typing ridiculously fast! Therefore, out of high school I decided to join the US Army’s reserves as an Information Technology specialist. Throughout my time at Fort Gordon, my eyes stayed wide open as I learned more and more about how modern-day technology functions. Thereafter, I came back home and decided I will stick with information technology. For the past two years, I have worked in information technology for various companies and have honestly enjoyed every bit of it. However, now that I know the kind of lifestyle I wanted to purse, I knew it was time to make a career change…
Being as young as I am, there is so much I want to do before my health prevents or hinders me from doing so. A dream of mine has always been to travel the world. I would love to go around the world visiting different landmarks and hiking beautiful trails. I would love to go to Europe and Mexico to watch club soccer games and enjoy the local city. Also, I am planning to get married here soon and something I want to most definitely make sure of is that I have the finances to take care of my family. The pay that comes with being a software engineer assures me that I will have all the resources I need to become financially stable. 
I chose Practicum out of all the other bootcamps, because of their approach to assuring they do their end to assist you with landing a job after the bootcamp. Practicum has a program that a student can participate in after completing the instructional portion of the program. With this program, the student has all the resources the student could have ever asked for. Because of previous experience in attempting to land a job in the technology industry, I understood that I needed all the help I can get to make my transition to the software engineering industry as smooth and easy as possible. Do not get me wrong, the student still has to do his part in regards to the studying and sacrificing of time, but Practicum takes pride in their ability to assist their students in landing a job as a software engineer. I would imagine every program would have a fantastic instructional program with great tutors, but it is what is done besides the instructional portion that people should be looking out for. Admittedly, participating in a bootcamp does come with a financial sacrifice, therefore you want to always make sure you are getting the most out of every dollar you spend. In hindsight, choosing Practicum was the best decision I could have made to work my way towards my big goal: becoming a software engineer. 
When I think of software engineering, I think of those movie scenes where the hacker in one of those movies that are similar to the “Mission Impossible” series in the scenes where there is that techie/hacker and says something like “Just one second, I am hacking my way into the mainframe… ANNDD done!” as the hacker is typing ridiculously fast! I am well aware that the average day in the life of a software engineer is, for the most part, not as intense as that. Nor do most software engineers code with a black backdrop and green lettering. However, that presumption has made software engineering extremely scary for me. Thankfully, Practicum does a fantastic job of making sure that the students are taken from one lesson to another as smoothly as possible. Practicum pays close attention to how a student is processing the new information and has adjusted their curriculum with that in mind. Therefore, as I have gone through the instructional portion of the program, I have not found myself overwhelmed. To be honest, the topics explored further down the line can be a bit perplexing. However, the program is laid out to ascertain the student understands the ins and outs of the “bigger picture” of those crucial concepts. The tutors are also a huge help in the student’s understanding of what is taught here in Practicum. The tutors do their best to always make themselves to assist the students with any issues they may have. Personally, I cannot even begin to count how many times a tutor has had to take time to explain something I have had an issue wrapping my head around. Practicum delivers what you need, AND SO MUCH MORE, than what one would need to make a smooth career change over to software engineering. 
In conclusion, I greatly recommend Practicum for anyone who is seriously committed to making a career change to software engineering. The resources are plentiful, the community is encouraging, the tutors are encouraging and knowledgeable, and the program can take anyone from knowing absolutely nothing to someone who is ready to transition over to the world of software engineering. I wish you the very best in your personal software engineering journey!

Practicum is a great learning environment for those who need a learning structure. I'm trying to change careers and tried to learn programming by myself but began to wonder what I knew verses what I didn't know. That's when I found Practicum. It's curriculum is great and seems to always be improving! I'm able to get help from the tutors, go to office hours if I'm struggling and the projects focus on real-world projects. The career team is also helping me advance my future career by giving me tips on my resume, portfolio and cover letters! Without Practicum, I would still be stuck trying to figure out what I needed to learn to break into the workforce of programming.

I was recommended by one of my mentors to join Practicum after looking for a couple bootcamps to attend. He told me about Practicum and I gave it shot. It was a wonderful experience to be able to join Practicum and learn from them. The community managers and tutors were very helpful when it came to my studies and progress. I was able to network with other students, I've also joined Apiary which allows you to work on real world projects on a team. It was just an amazing experience to get to learn and then showcase my skills. The program curriculum is structured in such a way you get to pick up these skills in a short amount of time. It was very flexible for me. Thanks Practicum! 

I joined Practicum Software Engineer bootcamp with the sole purpose of learning end to end web development. I tried many programs (from youtube videos to other freely available bootcamps) to get minimum knowledge in web development. In all these programs, I felt that a methodical approach is missing. I know that I can easily create a website following some youtube tutorials. But such websites are not professionally implemented, and are very difficult to maintain. For instance while styling websites, we should follow a methodology like BEM to create well maintainable websites. Practicum has the state of the art methodologies to implement real websites for businesses. I tried Practicum's free code camp (the first module), and was impressed that they have an excellent program that could help me to create professional websites. After my free trial, I immediately switched to the paid program, and I am quite satisfied with my decision. If you are serious about developing professional websites, please do not waste your time in following youtube tutorials or some freely available bootcamps. Unless you do hands-on work and get the feedback on your work, you are not on the right path to success. Practicum's curriculum has the right balance of theory and practice. In each sprint you will be given some study material with exercises, and you will also work on a project, which will be professionally evaluated. The project work in each sprint will reinforce your learnings. Consider Practicum if you have these goals and traits: 1. You want to develop professional websites 2. The program does not have video lessons (or have very limited videos). You should be comfortable in studying the text material rendered via practicum website. 3. You are not discouraged by the feedback you get highlighting the mistakes in your logic/code in each sprint. 4. You seriously looking to start a career as a Software Engineer 5. You are ready to spend at least 10 hours a week on the program

I found Practicum to be pretty good overall. They are continuously improving the platform, projects and teaching process. The content is current and projects simulate real-world developer tasks. It is easy to get help when you need it.The best part for me has been code reviews. I have felt like getting professional reviews and tips has improved my coding skills quickly.Generally, it took me more to finish the sprints than the hours stated on their website, so that is another thing to consider if you are working. And the main reason is that they try to cover a lot of things with some extra materials to read, practice etc besides course content.I am now having a holiday and took a course freeze so they are pretty flexible in that sense.Finally, I would definitely recommend Practicum. I didn't have any bad experiences with them. So far so good!

I am a full-time employee working at Uber and some other companies that use the same business model. The reason I decided to become a programmer started a few years ago, thing that became a little bit difficult since I had to move from my home country. I used to study using Udemy platform, and I can already tell the difference between the two courses, in practicum you have assistance 24/7 from tutors located all over the world and the country. The course has a wide curriculum for you to have in your personal portfolio but also varies the projects every certain amount of time. The career acceleration program seems something super useful, in which you have somebody help you land your first job in this awesome career.

I decided that I needed to shift directions in my career as a project coordinator, the pay wasn't great and the jobs were hard to come by. Practicum was one of my options from hours of research I had put in from other bootcamp options.  What sold me on practicum initially was the smaller class sizes that were described and designated group of tutors for help. I decided to take the software engineering course, I had played around with a little of Python and decided this could be a great direction to go into. I was concerned studying online with something i've never done before and wanting to make sure I would have the support needed to do this successfully. Practicum's main line of communication is through Slack, it's all organized by what part of the course you are on. You are always aware when tutors are available or if any upgrades have been made to their program. The program itself is done on a really nice platform where you will read the theory and execute exactly what you read into code. I'm half way through the course at this point and it is definitely getting tougher. The only negative thing I will say is depending on the chapter it can feel like information overload and you might not use too much of that theory on the project. It can also be the complete opposite where I didn't feel like the information was enough or clear enough how to do the project. However, the support from the tutors has been great and they are good about making sure you understand. The study structure is broken out into sprints to replicate what it would be like on the job. Every sprint is between 2-3 weeks. I currently spend at least a few hours a day on it, my goal is to get through a chapter a day. When it comes to the projects I dedicate more time to those. Projects are always at the end of each sprint where you take your understanding in those chapters and use it on projects that will build your portfolio by the end. So far the experience has been the hardest thing I've ever done but the support makes it easier. I definitely believe I'm a slower learner when It comes to learning process, I feel like I usually will fully grasp the concept of something two sprints later.  Even as a slower learner I still believe Practicum has made it easy to get the help I need to feel more confident about what i'm studying. I'll gladly update you all as soon as I finish the program on what my overall experience was. If someone was to ask me though if I'd recommend Practicum and I'd definitely would. 

Practicum has been a life changing experiment for me. The entirety of the program has taught me so much and I am not even half way done with the course. The material is amazing and all the tutors and community managers are super nice and are always there to help. I can not stress how much I have learned in just two months and how much you can learn if you put your faith into the program! I would tell anyone to take this course if they are serious about learning and want to be a successful software engineer!

I entered into the Software Engineering program at the end of 2022 and I couldn't be more pleased with how things are going. They have built a system of learn based on learn, practice and repeat. I'm a very hands on learner so tell me how to do something I will immediately forget. Practicum will have to watch a video and read about a topic and immediately have you practice it so that you can see how it changes a website. With this being something brand new I find myself getting stuck on the projects, but I know that I can always go to a tutor through slack or one of the video tutoring hours to get help. I really appreciate that its not the here is the answer help, its more of a guided help so you can develop a thought process for if you encounter the same problem or something like this.Practicum also has little break parts that will help you learn about different jobs that you could apply for after or things interviewer and jobs are looking for. I also find that this bootcamp is scheduled very well to work with individuals that  have a full time job. So far I haven't felt overwhelmed with working 8 hours taken an hour to relax and the jumping into learning/coding a website. 

Let me start by saying WOW! This is a really good course. It exceeded all my expectations, although I am still studying and I still have 4 months of study. I had study experience: I graduated from college with a degree in programming (but this was not enough for the modern market, plus the college program was very weak), then I took 3-4 courses at udemy (it was a good experience, quite interesting pet projects, but still not enough to start working). My last step was to go to the practicum. I thought I already knew a lot, after all, college courses .... I knew no more than 40% of what they gave me on the course. This is an amazing course, constant technical support, support from mentors, sooooo much practice. Interesting projects that you are not ashamed to show to the employer later. I have never regretted taking this course.

Practicum is great. I don't think it's 100/100 but it closes in 95 or above for sure. The information gets to the heart of what software engineering is about and I think they do a fantastic time with giving yo the tools in order for you to solve every problem. They hold your hand just enough in the beginning to get your pace set us but you very much have to be self motivated because you won't finish or hit your deadlines if this isn't your endgame. The best part of Practicum aren't their lectures but the community. You get access to many skilled tutors and they host office hours and can help you with your questions and concerns, this is priceless especially when starting out because coding isn't the easiest of tasks. I would recommend practicum to anybody.

The most valuable part of this bootcamp was the abundance of group collaboration projects you get to sign up for and gain experience from. In all my tech interviews, I was able to bring up these valuable team work experiences and stand out from the rest. Team work is very important in this field and only having solo projects in your portfolio isn't the optimal way to go. Practicum has code jams, apiary projects, pair programming, senior students and other opportunities you can work with others in coding. The curriculum itself is very comprehensive as well, given 10 months. I felt very confident in my skills upon graduation, especially with my frontend skills including vanilla CSS, vanilla JS and React.One thing I will point out is that this bootcamp may be very challenging if students enroll without any prior knowledge of programing or basic computer literacy. You will be asked to work with command lines, terminals, git right away. I also see lots of people struggle with JS and responsive design. This is not a handholding bootcamp where things will be fed to your mouth. Utilize the resources you have and try your darn best to work hard, and then this will be a blast.
