I only went for the bootcamp prep class, but I learned a tremendous amount and the teachers (shout-out to Aleks!) and the environment is top-notch. I am still trying to get in through the admissions process, but from what I've seen they take learning seriously and will follow through on their claim...
My Background: Undergraduate degree in Economics, MBA in Finance. Left my job as a Management Consultant within the Financial Services industry to attend Fullstack Academy. I had very little prior coding experience.
Founders: David and Nimit are great guys. Both extremely knowledgable about c...
This place has the best curriculum of all of the NYC bootcamps that I've researched.
I found the world of code bootcamps enticing and suspect with their promise of "12 weeks from amateur to pro." Given that they all pretty much make this claim alongside the assurance you'll be learning the latest in web development, some research was in order.
My three criteria in finding the bes...
I really enjoyed my time at Fullstack Academy. It gave me the skillset and confidence to land a dream job at a growing startup! Here are my pro s and con s of my time at Fullstack.
Pros:
David and Nimit are both amazing teachers. Their teaching styles and backgrounds complement each other and p...
I began Fullstack right after graduating from Columbia with only an introductory CS course and some online tutorials under my belt. I had majored in Religion and was looking for a course that would accelerate my fledgling interest in programming to professional capability. It's an understatement to ...
In Short
This is the top coding bootcamp in NYC. The school itself has an amazing track record of churning out high quality engineers regardless of previous experience or background.
The Reason
The people. I am not just referring to the co-founders or instructors but the larger community that m...
Going through Fullstack was one of the most empowering and liberating experiences of my life academic, professional, or otherwise. I d never heard of a learning environment like this before, and I d certainly never had the pleasure of being a part of one. My classmates, as diverse a group as any, we...
It was like a scene out of Revenge of the Nerds: there I sat on my NYC apartment couch a few days before Christmas of 2015, casually flipping through the latest issue of CPU Magazine. As a self-employed IT consultant and occasional programmer in the big city, keeping myself apprised of the latest ...
Terrible terrible experience. I have never experienced this kind on monstrosity ever, they're ego is out of the roof. They are proud,disgusting wicked and despicable. The way I was shamed and disrepected was sick. To ruin someones life who wanted to make better of himself for a life that has given h...
During my coding bootcamp search, my main goals were to become extremely proficient in programming, learn from great mentors, and land a great job once I was done. I'll assess my experience based on these three criteria.

Thanks to Fullstack, I can now have an intelligent conversation ab...
If you're thinking about bootcamps in general, or Fullstack in particular, you're probably wondering something along the lines of "does this actually work for real people"?
Well I am a real person, and Fullstack worked for me. It worked out better than I could have possibly hoped. I wrote my firs...
I know you're probably tired of reading reviews that say, "attending Fullstack Academy was the greatest decision of my life." But it's true. After many years of professional acting and part-time jobs in New York, I wanted to change careers and pursue a new direction in life, and I couldn't be happie...
Coming from a different career background non-related to programming, I initially had my doubts that a 13 week program would be enough time to learn enough about web development to build anything on my own, let alone find a job. However, after doing my research in talking to other Fullstack Alumni a...
Best educational experience I've had. Everyone in my cohort was incredibly intelligent with diverse experiences and background. I feel that I'm now friends with some of the smartest and most ambitious people. The instructors and TAs were fantastic and both put in a tremendous effort to support you.
...
I believe that Fullstack Academy is probably the fastest and most effective way to learn to code today. Your learning is accelerated by great teaching/teachers, but also by a great program design and structure, which includes plenty of struggling, helping and getting helped by 20 other students with...
The most intense 3 months of my life; I learned so much and met incredible people.
Academically challenging and positively wonderful outcome!
I just graduated Fullstack Academy's immersive cohort in NYC. It was an amazing experience and I learned a ton. They have awesome instructors who really want to make sure you understand the material and they teach the technologies that are currently hot in the industry. For example, I learned React...
If you're sold on the idea of being a software engineer, there really isn t more of a decision to make. Fullstack javascript is, in my opinion, the best way to learn web development, and no one does it better than Fullstack. FS gave me the opportunity to work at my dream job, and at the end of my co...
Prior to attending FullStack, I spent over a year and a half learning web development independently through the usual suspects of free and paid online channels. However, despite all the invested time, I still felt woefully unprepared to move beyond 'hobbyist' mode and into production-grade developme...
I have never been to any other bootcamp, and I have never had any other instructors teach me software development.
I have, however, met many different humans in my life. I can tell you without any hesitation that this organization is run by some of the best you will find anywhere. Forever curious...
The best programming bootcamp in NYC, ever, full stop.
I m confident that everyone who attended Fullstack Academy has mostly good things to say about it. In fact, most of them would probably claim that it was the best decision of their life. It may seem like hyperbole, but personally, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
In terms of cost an...
Enrolling in Fullstack Academy was one of the best things I have ever done. In college I dabbled in a couple CS and web design courses really enjoyed them, but for some reason never pursued web development further. Coding was always in the back of my mind while I carried on with my career in a diffe...
As opposed to the majority of students who attended Fullstack Academy; I arrived with a CS degree and a couple of years work experience under my belt. Even so, Fullstack was a great decision for me. The greatest assets were definitely the people and the environment.
First of all, the lead instr...
Awesome experience. I only wish it could have lasted longer.
Having attended Fullstack's second cohort, 5 months later I couldn't be happier with my decision. Fullstack provided me with all the tools and experience I needed to change fields and quickly find a job that I love. The amount I was able to learn at Fullstack in such a short amount of time is inco...
