Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Hi, trying hard to lift myself out of my current socioeconomic condition. I know there's mixed-feelings about coding bootcamps but was hoping to get some opinions on whether to do a coding bootcamp for iOS (Swift and a bit of ObjC) or full-stack web (Ruby and JS). I'm in-between these two options that both offer income-share agreements so I don't have to front something like a $17-20,000 tuition. Lambda School is the only bootcamp I could find that offers an iOS track; they are however the longest in length. App Academy is what I'd shoot for if doing full-stack web as they tend to have stronger student outcomes relative to other bootcamps. I'm not familiar or experienced with the industry, but having spoken to friends in software engineering, some mentioned something as specialized like iOS might work out in my favor better because web/JS job market is saturated with self-taught and other boot camp graduates; and I'd be able to better place myself into iOS engineering than compete for a generalist job posting among CS grads. The person that argued against iOS said they think it's bad to focus so specifically early on and better to learn/work with the whole stack as I would do learning web dev/JavaScript. TC 0
In nine months you could teach yourself iOS development for a lot less.
No strong opinion on iOS vs full stack (maybe a little toward fullstack since that's easier to convert into general SWE) but 100x vote for Lambda over App Academy
In terms of Lambda > App Academy, what’s your thinking behind the preference for Lambda? Tbh I had assumed most here would favor a/A cause they tend to have the strongest FAANG outcomes/placements of all boot camps today
Longer, better career services from what I can tell, their ISA has you pay 0 until you get a software job. Does AA have better FAANG outcomes? I'm biased because I did Lambda, but I know multiple people there who went to Microsoft, multiple at Amazon, and at least one at Google besides myself
IOS high demand and low supply
consider apple probably will disappear in the next decade,try avoid iOS for sure.
Damn this a very bearish outlook 🐻
Ruby is the new PHP
Here. Use Angela Yu’s udemy course to start (12 dollars). Then start building things you want. Learn as you go from apple documentation/tutorial or stackoverflow. At the same time do Stanford’s ios course (free). After that read Big Nerd Ranch’s books (50 bucks). Continue building apps. Make a portfolio. Then use Sean Allen’s course to prep for interviews. And start applying. Should save you a lot of money and I say teach you much more than a bootcamp does.
9 months holy shit
Yeah they talk it up that they’re longer than the rest so you’re more job ready. But to be fair it’s more like 6 months, the 3 last months is a lot of filler (how to network/job search) unrelated to the core material.
These bootcamps give me an idea to make a bootcamp for myself and rake cash. What am I doing here lol. Honestly when I was learning mobile development, it took me less than a week, maybe because I had programming foundation already, but with resources available online, you can be the iOS instructor at one of these bootcamps within 6 months on your own, but I guess what you really need is a direction from a “professional”?
