Web Development Bootcamp with Javascript - Barcelona

El bootcamp de skylab me ayudado a asentar los pocos conocimientos qie tenia antes sobre html css y un poco de js.
He aprendido mas que en 2 años de DAM en temas de programacion web, ahora tengo los conocimientos necesarios para poder hacer una web fullstack y las herramientas para poder seguir aprendiendo mas por mi cuenta, ya que en skylab te enseñan desde la base de como se hacen las cosas y el porque no solo esto es asi y yasta.
Para mi ha sido una experiencia inmejorable tanto en profesores como compañeros que aun sigo viendo a la gran mayoria y una ayuda inmejorable a la hora de buscar empleo.

I did this bootcamp during summer of 2017 because at that moment I didn't have a job and I was looking for a change in my life. So, I decided to find a place where study all these things that companies and startups are looking for right now.

My idea was IronHack. I did an interview at Ironhack and I liked it, but I was not entirely sure that was the right place for me. After that, I discovered Skylab on this website (I think so), so I went to speak with them. I have to say that after to talk with David, Àngels and Bea, I decided to sign-up the same day and it was a great choice.

I finished the bootcamp 3 weeks ago and when I look back I can see how much I've learned. Some recommendations for new students:

-If you are decided to do a bootcamp, be open mind and positive.

-Do all the pre-course (very important IMHO)

-Study a lot after the bootcamp. After all, the most important thing is "learn how to learn" and then keeping learning new stuff, because this is changing all the time. In this course you will learn Basics of code, but then you will have to study deeper by your own. So, the most important thing is your approach, because like this you will find how to solve mistakes during the course and then. BTW, thanks to this bootcamp I've found a job as a Front-End Developer!

In short, highly recommended :)

This course changed my life in just 10 weeks. It's been a super intensive experience where not only I've learnt the curricular skills but also I've been given the opportunity to become part of this amazing family. You literally feel home. From the director to the alumni everyone has an awesome attitude that transmits the right vibes to make the most of the skills you lean, they create a great environment where you enjoy your time while learning and help you when you feel down. The teacher Juanma has an unbelievable ability to synthesize and transmit knowledge far beyond anything I've seen before. Furthermore, the price is ridiculous compared to the other options in Barcelona, no doubt this could be the best investment you make. Last but not least, I can proudly say that Skylab made of me a developer .

Having no idea of programming previous to attending the bootcamp it was a really scary decision to make.

However in the end it payed off. The curriculum is very complete and the teachers are incredibly up to date on all the topics and constantly provide information and help on ever new subject.

It is not all theory thankfully since ever day you have to complete excercises or small projects so you can show yourself that you have in fact learned what you are shown.

Would highly recommend this bootcamp.

Una formación fabulosa de la mano de un equipo estupendo. Saben enseñar y a pesar de que la materia es intensa se hace fluida por el cómo se imparte y explica. Tuve la suerte de ser de la primera promoción y es la mejor decisión que pude tomar para tomar un curso de estas características.

I had been working on the industry for a few years, mainly as a UI/UX designer and doing the markup for my designs (HTML and CSS). I felt my career growth was kind of stagnated and I was getting more and more curious about "real" programming. I stsrted doing all kinds of stuff with jQuery but I felt that I needed some solid knowledge, but I didn't feel like getting into a 2-3 years degree again, so that's when I discovered the bootcamp concept. 

Skylab was the first I came across with, and even though I looked into a few other options, I was sure that Skylab was the best choice. The price is reasonable, people are awesome (teachers and fellow students as well) and I wanted a full javascript based curriculum. I was part of the first class Skylab organized, and it didn't let down at all. It feels like a tiny family and they look after you, if you are doing well, if you feel overwhelmed… they never leave a student behind. 

Since I already had some experience in the field, there were a few days when I felt I was not learning as much (mainly the days focused on git, html and css), but that will be different depending on your background.

You finish the bootcamp more than ready to get a job as a developer. I started working roughly a month after as a fullstack developer, and I keep getting contacted for job opportunities very often.

If you are decided on becoming a developer, Skylab is probably one of the best choices you'll find.

Un gran programa de estudio que ayuda a los estudiantes a introducirse en el sector del desarrollo web y a tener las herramientas necesarias para poder comenzar con cualquier otra tecnología, gracias a la solida base que se obtiene a lo largo de todo el bootcamp.

Una gran familia de profesionales, que siempre está dispuesta a ayudar en todo lo necesario, tenga o no que ver con el curso.

He de remarcar que llegue de Málaga sin mucha confianza en el curso, pero me lleve una gran sorpresa y antes de terminar la primera semana ya sabía que había elegido el mejor camino que podía seguir. Y ahora no volveré para Málaga.

En resumen, profesionales, una gran familia que te ayuda y te apoya a sobrellevar los días más difíciles y con mayor nivel de estrés.

For almost a year, I tried to learn the basics of Web Development by myself (and with some help of great friends and awesome online resources), and I learned quite a lot about HTML, CSS and a little about JS; however, somehow, I got lost on the way, wich is pretty common as I can see, so I decided to do a bootcamp to get out of the dark side.

 After reviewing a few ones in the city, I contacted the Skylab Coders Academy's team only for a reason, the program, a Full Stack JavaScript one. And now that I just finished the bootcamp (three days ago), I could not be more satisfied with my decision, the content hit the nail on the head and the mentors are great, you will get to work with people as passionate as you and the best of all are the results, you can see mines at my GitHub account, I crafted a web-based e-commerce app as my final project, using techonlogies like AngularJS, Koa2 and Mongoose, it took me a lot of hard work, but it was really fun too. 

So, do I recommend the bootcamp? Of course I do. :) 

Great teachers, a lot of knowledge, hard working people... if you like to learn to code for hours with a high level of intensity and perseverance this is the bootcamp for you. The best tools in the front-end and the back-end for developers today. Also during the bootcamp they will bring you a lot of people from differents areas to instruct you about new incommings softwares, the most used tools in the market or help you with the requirements to get a good job.  

It has been an amazing and very intense experience. I checked all the bootcamps in Barcelona, and I have no doubt that Skylab has been the right choice. Very happy and proud to be a Skylab Coder alumni. And I was contracted as a developer before the bootcamp's end.

A few months ago I was looking for a bootcamp to start with my dev journey. I visited and studied different options here in Barcelona and finally after the admission test/interviews I had to choose between two academies (Codeworks and Skylab Coders). I put all my money in Skylab because of the teacher experience and the class schedule (amount of hours / day) and really I can't be more happy with the results.
I've met a lot of teachers in my life (an engineering career, two masters and different training courses), but just a few of them I can remember for been really good in what they do. I can say that Juan Ma (Skylab lead professor) is part of that tiny list now. He keeps things "simple", push you forward and keeps you focus through all the course.
Off course, he is not alone, Alex, David and Manuela will also give you support through all the bootcamp, they will make you feel like home. Skylab it's like a little family and I can't recommend it enough, you won't be disappointed.

Skylab is a " show me your code and explain me how it ticks " kind of coding bootcamp. Real developers know their code inside-out and can understand other's code is something I learned here and I'm more than happy with the 10 awesome weeks. Juanma, the lead instructor, is an like an encyclopedia of web development knowledge. His understanding of javascript, his ways of teaching, how he understands where and what you are doing wrong and how should you approach a problem is something out of this world. My companions were one of the most friendly, hard-working and similar minded people who strived for the same goals everyday - to be better as a person and as a team together. The environment to study was very peaceful and the mini coffee and lunch breaks we had together was enjoyable. A perfect combination of affordable price, awesome teaching team, great management, cool friends and study materials.

Es una experiencia que dificilmente con palabras se puede explicar si no lo vives con tu propia carne.
Primero empieza a ser tu sueño hecho realiad, reunirte con un grupo de personas desconocidas que piensan y sienten la misma pasión que tú por vivir 10 semanas intensivas por aprender a ser un buen programador, y delante tener 2 profesores que van a repartir leña.
Empieza la estampida de información y el gustazo por recivirla. Luego te invaden dudas, de "¿qué estoy haciendo aquí?" , vas cogiendo cada vez más confianza con los compañeros, y a medida que pasan las semanas,  simplemente se va creando una familia, y te das cuenta que han tenido las mismas dudas y preguntas que tú!, eso refuerza más i se crea una piña.
Al final abordas tanto conocimiento, que ni tu mismo te das cuenta de lo que sabes hacer, hasta que te pones mano a la obra con el proyecto final, y con la ayuda  de los profesores, y de los compañeros, es alucinante lo que al final eres capaz de hacer, y no sólo eso, sino que un dia picaste a la puerta skylabcoders, te acogieron, te criaron, y ahora sólo queda volar! Una de las experiencias más bonitas de mi vida, Muchas gracias a todo el equipo y compañeros!
