That's a shame, @shayne, you have been one of my favourite discoveries on Steemit.
Just one query, why would you pay for school on a topic that's so well covered online? You could easily learn everything you need to know for front-end interfaces doing tutorials and online study. Hell, the source code of every website ever made is accessible with a right-click!
Unless there's some particular piece of paper you're chasing (I got one and nobody ever asked to see it), what's the point in paying for school?
The reputation of this particular program is very high. It is only 5 months for the full stack (Html, CSS, JS, Java, Python, Swift). The program is full-time and immersive, meaning you are put under pressure to produce results, which simulates real working environments -- and that's why employers like it. The success rate of job acquisition from Code Fellows is 90% with an average salary of $70k. I really appreciate the free programs and will be sure to learn as much as I can from them while I'm looking for work after this program, but what I need is the best chance for the fastest results with the best payout for the hardest work... yeah, lol
