Hey, I'm in the process of going through their stuff now. At each stage of the application, you will unlock new resources to train yourself. After passing the logical exam (no coding experience required), I unlocked a basic Ruby training course, which gave me all of the information that I needed to pass stage 2, which is a coding exam. Now that I've passed that, they've given me access to more advanced Ruby courses, which I will be studying in-depth in the two weeks before my technical interview. What I can tell you is that, with just the information I learned in the basic Ruby training course, I was able to pause the video and devise a solution that worked on my own. The solutions that they arrived at in the videos were very different than mine because they know a lot of tricks and methods that I haven't learned yet, but I believe the most important thing is having good problem-solving abilities. Prior to this, I had no coding experience. I don't think you will have any trouble as long as you're willing to commit to the training materials in your free time.
@@brookesbestlife4918 I didn't, but they scheduled me for a second one and they're giving me a free two week class to prepare me for it. The email said they do this with "strong applicants", but who knows, it could be common.
I have zero experience in coding, so understandable I have no idea what is going on with the technical part of the interview. Should I have experience in coding before applying? Or will the program provide fundamentals of coding prior to the technical interview?
Hi Zach, yes that's still applicable! There is also a cap of $28k, so you'll never pay more than that (even if 28% of your salary is equal to more than $28k)

for App Academy it is 17,000 once you get a job upfront. It's more if you pay later or in installments. Most are around 17,000 upfront but app academy lets you pay after you get a job
If the purpose of the bootcamp is to teach you why is there a technical interview where you need to know programming. It doesn't make sense -.- If their only testing your basic programming I get that.
Hey Peter - correct, they are only testing your basic programming knowledge. But - they are also looking to see whether you are a clear communicator, and are able to describe the "why" of what you're doing as you're doing it. They have a 2 week prep course called JumpStart which can provide you with the tools and communication skills to pass the technical interview!
Wow, it seems hard! That's just to get into the school?
Its actually easy if you take your time to understand the fundamentals abstraction of programming.
These 2 problems are easy - I'd say articulating what you want to do is hard
Is this means to say that if one don’t have an experience in coding, one will not pass the technical interview?
right, and if you go to their website, they mention that you do not need to have prior coding experience.
They have prep information to prepare you for the technical interview. You don't need any prior coding experience.

@@ACStuart i have my technical interview friday, did you pass yours?
@@brookesbestlife4918 I didn't, but they scheduled me for a second one and they're giving me a free two week class to prepare me for it. The email said they do this with "strong applicants", but who knows, it could be common.
Thanks that was really helpful

The prep information is on their site. It teaches you everything that you need to know for the interview
Not everything
LOL when he asked, "so today, what language will you be using" I was thinking english, spanish, etc...NOPE, "ruby"
Hello. Right now I've seen the interview for what? For an enrollment to AppAcademy or it's typical interview that interviewers asked? Thank you!
What about alpha curriculum? is it online?
I got email from admin about the 28% of salary as income sharing agreement for tuition fees. Is that still applicable?
Hi Zach, yes that's still applicable! There is also a cap of $28k, so you'll never pay more than that (even if 28% of your salary is equal to more than $28k)
First problem in python
def valid_walk(direction):
j = {}
'''count the number of times each of the directions appear in the direction string
and append it to the empty diction j'''
for i in direction:
j[i]= direction.count(i)
''' since equal number of movement in s and n, and e and w will bring back to the same
place, check to see if each of these two pairs are the same and return True or False'''
if j['n']==j['s'] and j['e']==j['w']:
return True
else:
return False
second problem
def consecutive(array):
c =[ ]
for i in array:
if i+1 not in array and i != array[-1]:
c+= list(range(i+1,array[array.index(i)+1]))
return c
How much is the full Payement for the app academy
for App Academy it is 17,000 once you get a job upfront. It's more if you pay later or in installments. Most are around 17,000 upfront but app academy lets you pay after you get a job

Sounds scammy
is that the interviewer? maybe he needs a lesson in communication. uhm uhm uhm
