Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Good points, I have tried to cover these things as much as I could so that I can cover insurance, pension, and a co-working space. I am more looking for the nitty-gritty part of it, regarding how they organize the agreement (contractually). I think I have found another post that shed some light on this:

Incredible podcast. Super interesting to see somebody so completely soaked into a single topic.

There are some excellent bootcamps out there that have better terms I believe than the offer you mention above.

Here are just a few we have come across recently that you can check out. Not sure if you are looking for front-end, full-stack, or mobile dev to name a few, so I mixed it a bit:

- https://www.thinkful.com/bootcamp/web-development/flexible/ - https://lambdaschool.com/courses/full-stack-web-development - https://flatironschool.com/career-courses/coding-bootcamp/ - https://www.hackreactor.com/ - https://www.codecademy.com/learn/paths/web-development - https://www.makeschool.com/ (bit of a different approach, still very much interesting)

I recommend you look for those that work with an ISA type of structure. That way you are sure the platform is incentivized to get you a good job afterwards.

Good luck!

If you do not have the time, it does seem indeed best to focus on practical experience, so you can really just get stuff done quickly.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We could not agree more. It is super hard to really find out EXACTLY what your path should be (or at least an approximate path). This is why we are exploring our personalized learning guide (https://courseroot.com/cs-curriculums/tailor-made/). The goal is to recommend the best path (or paths) based on the students background, goals, current situation, expenses, etc.

Would love to hear what you think of this.

Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

You are right, it is on the expensive side. We just wanted to showcase the best CS college degrees were someone to decide to make the commitment to college (most are relatively expensive). But you are absolutely right in that there are definitely other options that are less expensive.

Would you maybe like to see a tab or something that would show more college options?

Thanks for sharing. Will go get that one soon!

Does it primarily focus on usability or also on beauty? I am slowly finding out that often less is more when it comes to UX design, also in the way things look, and would love to find out more of these principles that can vastly improve the looks of a product (e.g. what colors to use, shapes, etc.)

Thanks again!
