22. It’s October 2014. I’m going for it again, and this time, no excuses. I decided to narrow my search down to make sure the bootcamp had the following: Excellent Reviews - had to go through Yelp, Quora, CourseReport, SwitchUp, etc. (might be convenient if there’s one website for everything !) Excellent Hiring Rate - I may not be looking for a job now, but I will be in the near future and I want to be prepared! Full-stack and JavaScript focused (I never liked the idea of learning Ruby).

31. LEARNING TO CODE BY YOURSELF CAN BE LONELY (AND REALLY INEFFICIENT) I wanted a place that would teach me faster than I could teach myself. And school wasn't the option. In comes bootcamps!
