Ask HN: Developer bootcamps in Portland, Or

1 points by dsp1234 11y ago ↗ HN

One of my wife's friends is looking to move in to web development, and is looking for a developer bootcamp in the Portland area. He has no previous programming or web development experience, and is not able to move or attend a school outside of that area. Any recommendations, particularly from people who hired from the program or former participants, would be greatly appreciated.

I know CodeFellows just opened up some in person courses in Portland: https://www.codefellows.org/calendar

There's also Thinkful which is online but assigns you a mentor to help you through the material. They also offer interview prep and portfolio reviews before you graduate: http://www.thinkful.com/

(disclaimer, I went through the Thinkful course and I'm also a Thinkful Ambassador).
