At first I was skeptical - after all, I had been studying programming on my own and that had its own benefits. But in the 2-week accelerated web development program at HackerYou, I found out that coding was the easy part. For me, the value of accelerated web dev was in the wealth of experience between the instructors. As someone who was making a career u-turn, I had a lot of questions about workflow, best practices, and professional communication. Shangni, Mark, Tiff and Katie all offered distinct perspectives on working in web development. They were humble, approachable and supportive of my struggle to succeed. The course was a lot of money for me up front, but I would do it again in a heartbeat if I could. These are the kind of people with whom I want to study and work.
