I'm currently in this free program and for me this is better than many paid courses. I'm beginner, in the past I used to see dificulties to really learn how to code, however with this platform it's easy for me. In the curriculum I'm in intermediate CSS section.
I don't mind reading, especially if it's supported by some useful diagrams (asciinema is a nice tool for command-line stuff) so I can read more meaning into the words. Actually, I think videos are inferior most of the time (I like how easily I can jump back and forth in a text or skim over entire passages to check whether some information was there even if I don't have the correct word for a full-text search), and it's more a thing of how udemy presents the courses. They simply are primarily video based, and the number of video hours is presented very prominently.
@@RealToughCandy I think The Odin Project was created by App Academy graduates. They also have a full-stack Ruby path which I guess should be similar to App Academy's old curriculum.
thanks @RTC, I've done 2/3 of their Python track a few months ago then jumped off to something else. I really should get back and finish off the curriculum. It's worth the time spent tho.
That was the old course that was heavily focused on ruby. It could still be the same for this new version, but I am not sure as I have not made it too far into it yet.
At least for a good bootcamp (whichever that is), the value is not just in the curriculum. There are quite a few things requiring way more manpower, like providing accountability, individual feedback, some coaching, checking resumes, interview training, maybe a bootcamp works with recruiters in your area... And those don't scale well like a make-once-sell-millions online video course. That being said, whether it's worth the money, I guess it depends on a lot of different factors.
I was rejected with our local bootcamp. Because in their self assestment test have some rediculous questions They told us in the adverticement and faq that they accept non TECH people and people with no experience in writing code🤔 but during assestment omg the wuestions was already engineer level . I can sense the BS already .but then yeah i came to look out free bootcamps thats why i look out to this video Ty
Hey Rudy, they give you three months to pass the assessment. The assessment just challenges the way you think and approach solving problems. What’s dope is that it’s all open book and you can check your work, such as in the Boolean algebra. The bootcamp doesn’t expect one to already know basic algebra either, but they give you 3 months. A driven will take probably two weeks to hack through it. Please don’t let the rejection discourage you from learning to code. Rejection is part of the learning process! It’ll make you stronger. Good luck :)
@@treyrader dont worry man i am in a pursuit of studying web dev and its my 2nd month of doing it self taught now. I promissed my self that i will never go back on to low wage jobs anymore where i felt like a wage slave, and its all hard work but still same pay . Unlike here coding a lot feels like i have found my purpose Currently done with html and css essentials and now im in javascript hehe so yeah i should walk the walk see you on the other side then
@@rudythorns8411 The mentality you have is what it takes to be a genius! Just keep being consistent with putting in as many hours a days as possible. Also, while you're studying vanilla JS concepts, try reading about how and why ReactJS works. Familarize yourself with concepts like "state", "coponents", and "template rendering". JS gets easier once all you're doing is manipulating data from a database and using already styled components to spit it out on the screen.. You got this!
I would have liked to see a learning track that is based only on Python in depth coverage of web development. Python seems like a total afterthought compared to how much Javascript is covered.
I guess it's because like the odin project they are mostly prioritizing web development so hence python and other languages aren't a big thing they want to emphasize on ig? I am a beginner so I'm not sure myself
It depends what you want to do with RoR. To give you a taste of the market now. Only startups and non-coast city(US) companies uses RoR. You might land a RoR job in a coast city but you would be working on a legacy project and mostly doing maintenance work. If you want to work on hottest technologies now like AI or crypto, don't learn RoR. If you want to work for startups, learn RoR

Hey! So what about now, where are you in the course? How far have you got and are you enjoing it?
Did you finish it? I’m thinking of starting it.

Love your presenting style. If you don't have a podcast yet, you should defo start one
Sounds pretty similar to The Odin Project's Full Stack JS curriculum (but with Python and more DSA).
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Still need to do a review on that one!

Some people on Reddit said they don't give you all the documentation you need on this free tier.
That was the old course that was heavily focused on ruby. It could still be the same for this new version, but I am not sure as I have not made it too far into it yet.
How do I get the free version? I'm seeing $240 on my end.

Thanks so much for the review. Please does app academy open offer certificate of completion?
I'm visual. Udemy video
i like old curiculum more.. do you think learning RoR is good idea in 2023?

thank u so much i try my best :-)
Plz can you do jhon smilga mern stack course review
