    I made more progress in 14 days than in the last 6 months!

    In just 14 days, I made months of progress, and met amazing people. Camp was a memorable experience and went way past my expectations, I highly recommend it! A few weeks after camp, I managed to ship a YouTube comment sentiment analysis app in just a few hours, and I'm on my way to building a few more ambitious SaaS!

    Exactly what I needed

    Camp was everything I hoped for and more. After telling myself for years that I’m not cut out to be a developer, I can’t believe I shipped my own app in just two weeks. The environment, hands on help, and support of other campers was incredible. Best investment I’ve ever made.

    Life-changing Learnings that Go Beyond Rails

    Ryan and Seyoung are incredibly hospitable hosts, not to mention incredible people. The lead-up to Camp was completing a Fundamentals course for Ruby, which was very clear and concise. Once onsite, having a structured schedule in the form of predefined activities like outings and twice daily prepared meals, along with a communal environment, allow for maximum focus and learning.

    Ryan is an excellent teacher with a lot of empathy for beginner students.

    Fastest way to climb out of the beginner phase

    This is probably the best way to go from beginner to intermediate level quickly in ones coding journey. 

    I wish I did this when I started coding about a year ago. 
    I did it the hard way and spent several months learning the fundamentals.

    But it was time for me to pick up a new paradigm and a new programming language. So I decide to go to Ryan's camp. 

    What a great decision it was. 
    I went from having no knowledge to building a fully functional app in just 2 wee...

    The path to become Unstoppable: Life Changing 2-Weeks-long Coding Camp

    I experienced a Life Changing 2-Weeks-long on-site Camp with course instructor Ryan Kulp (founder/hacker). 

    From Dusk Till Dawn (~12 hours) a day a group of 6 pushed through the fundamentals of Ruby and Rails programming. You could either bring your project, or brainstormed one with Ryan to finish an MVP for the Demo Day. Ryan was always in the classroom to unblock blockers. From the second week on, we had daily stand-ups, which helped everyone to focus even more on finishing mile...

    Surprise your mind and body

    10 great tech people. In a remote ranch. By the lake. It was great to see how to make a software products from scratch. Ryan was always ready to help. The food was simply top-notch. A big shoutout to Seyoung. Working out in the garage every day was great. It was a unique and beneficial experience. 11/10

    Best new coding bootcamp experience

    Excellent option for self-starters with a lot energy.

    There's nothing like staying in a beautiful, fresh, secluded ranch outside of Atlanta. You will spend most of your time grinding towards your goals, learning from 8am to midnight. Three healthy meals a day and a garage gym keep you fit during your time here. Seeing your other cohort members out-grind you will keep you accountable and focused.

    Extremely gratifying experience that increases your chances of learning softwar...

    The only founder oriented coding bootcamp I know about.

    It's been more than epic. This is the only founder oriented bootcamp I have seen anywhere, run by an experienced serial founder in a language that's catering towards shipping and iterating product fast. The video courses for self study are top notch and having constant personal 1on1s with the creator is unheard of. Making huge progress on coding is not the only skill to take away here - it's also about being immersed in the results from following this approach with other growth orien...

    100% Focused Buidling Your First MVP(while having fun) With Guidance of Experienced Founder

    I highly recommend camp to anyone who wants a distraction-free place to code and work on projects. Before camp, I only built apps by following tutorials. Camp was the first time I built something from an idea I had without step-by-step instructions to follow. Ryan answers all your coding questions when building your MVP, which is invaluable if you're new to coding. Plus, being surrounded by others doing the same pushes you out of your comfort zone.

A coding bootcamp can propel your career in tech to new heights, but that often means quitting a job, uprooting your life, or moving to a new city. Maybe you’re moving to a new city to become a developer and need a short-term housing option. Or perhaps you’re an international student without credit history. Regardless of your background, funds can become tight when committing to a full-time, ...
