Most of the information was self-explanatory. This course is only suitable for someone transitioning from non-tech career to a programming career.

This course gave a good overview and helpful resources on how to become a successful programmer without a degree, from equipment needed to how to prepare for a job interview.

By Ebam Agbor on 11/2/2017

Well, it was enlightening and an eye opener. Especially the area that talked about the basic concepts one has to master in order to become a software developer; it gave me direction. The instructor talked about each topic in detail to the best of his knowledge and that was helpful. It was short concise, brief and straight to the point.

It's very useful but gives you the broad aspect of things, needs to dive more into details and give more examples and information.

By Nata_nn V on 5/21/2017

this info could be found in many simple articles online (Article that I can review withing 10 minutes)

By Lennard Lathan on 4/19/2017

The course is allowing me to compare the knowledge, I currently possess about the field, with what I need to be successful.

By Zoe Sullivan on 2/17/2017

I found the skills needed presented in an interesting way. It was put in a way that says you need these skills because this is what it is going to be like.

By Delisha Cogdell on 1/6/2017

The course did exactly as the title stated. I received some good tips on how to proceed with a programming career. I found the example interview questions very helpful.

By Zbigniew Borys on 11/9/2016

its too general

By Blake Hutchinson on 8/21/2016

Very realistic overview of how to get into the programming field. One jobs website he didn't mention was indeed.com. I'm not going to deck any points for that.
