My bootcamp experience was great because there were so many other people with different levels of tech knowledge who were just starting down this path. There were other people, just like me, who never wrote a script but were excited when they completed a task. The pace of learning was easy to orient to and challenging enough to keep you going.

Bootcamp was fun, and the pace is manageable. I had no experience going into it, and I learned so much. There are instructors online after class to help you with topics and homework so you can understand it more fully. They were always there with answers and kind words to encourage me.
