The bootcamp I attended was a virtual program that promised to turn anyone into a software developer, regardless of their background or experience level. I was excited but also nervous because I had very little programming knowledge beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>LOs met:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LO1<br \/>\nAt the start of this programming bootcamp, I found out that although I am really good at theory-based programming (with console-based output), I can still improve in applying those theories and concepts together to create algorithms. Throughout the bootcamp, I have worked on the same and have become a lot better in the same.<\/li>\n<li>LO2<br \/>\nThis bootcamp had multiple boss-level challenges after every section was completed where I had to apply all of the skills I learned in that section to create an algorithm as a solution to the problem. The challenges really gave me a hard time when I had to deal with situations that I hadn&#8217;t faced before since keeping every concept in mind while trying to come up with a solution is a challenge in itself.<\/li>\n<li>LO3<br \/>\nSince the course was so long, I had to plan out the whole thing and come up with a daily schedule to complete the course in the least amount of time so I decided to work on the course for at least 1 hour a day (except weekends) so that I don&#8217;t burn out and am able to complete the course effectively and efficiently.<\/li>\n<li>LO4<br \/>\nThe bootcamp had over 65.5 hours of video content + multiple challenges adding up to 100+ hours of actual length. Although at times I did not have the motivation to continue and felt bored, I\u00c2\u00a0persevered, found ways to make the learning enjoyable, and stayed committed to completing the course.<\/li>\n<li>LO7<br \/>\nIf I did not follow my schedule, it would have had many setbacks and would lead to me procrastinating and skipping the learning on multiple days so I had to reconsider the choice of not working on the course on certain days so that it doesn&#8217;t interfere with the completion of the course and does not lead to any learning loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, taking part in the programming bootcamp was a challenging but immensely rewarding experience. It gave me the skills and confidence I needed to pursue a career in software development, and I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about coding and eager to learn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8441\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Web-Development-Course-Certificate-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"446\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking part in a programming bootcamp was one of the most intense and rewarding experiences of my life.
