Is there anything you feel like you should have learned or studied prior to bootcamp? (Either to make things easier or to have gotten more out of the program). A friend of mine is looking to join a bootcamp and comes from an economics background, so he's looking to get a good baseline before attending one.

What was your programming experience like before the bootcamp, and then after it? What sort of depth did you learn to?

Would you feel confident in starting a job at a company that used a language you don't already know?

Before the bootcamp, I new basic HTML and CSS. I'm now working as a rails dev, with lots of work in JavaScript too. That would entirely depend on the company and the language. So I guess that says something. I wouldn't feel confident in a company that mainly uses functional languages, as I'm mainly used to OO principals. In saying that, it's not something I wouldn't want to learn

I am at a similar level of experience and have been interested in learning more about programming, with the hope of pursuing it as a potential career path down the line. It is encouraging to hear about someone else's success. Can you tell me more about the program you used? What were you doing for work before the bootcamp?

Thanks!

thanks, that mostly answers my questions as well but if you want to address them too, feel free :)

While working, how much mentoring did you get from your company, and at what level was your position (eg from junior to senior dev)? Thanks for answering...

what is the specifics of the job you have (front end, back end, etc)? What languages do you use? How long/intense was the bootcamp? If you could talk about your salary that would be great but of course I'd totally get it if you chose not to answer this one.
