Caught some of his YouTube Live videos this week. I think it's dope that he is grinding and giving advice as a POC. He does come to across as bitter occasionally over his YouTube channel not blowing up based on his free-form content. Contemplated buying some of his courses to supporting, but there was some errors on his web page that gave me pause. Googled some of his online reviews and his courses aren't terrible, but there is room for improvement.
I'll probably show love and buy some merch if he has something for sale
Is anyone familiar with React Native? I've built a prototype for my app in C# using Xamarin, since I'm a C# developer at heart, and I just needed to demo a concept. I'm scraping the prototype code (as I always do), and I think I'm going to switch over to react native because I think it'll be easier to find React Native developers to help on the project. Does anyone know the learning curve for it? I've done web development with older versions of Angular and Ember, so I'm familiar with javascript frameworks in general. Just want to be able to reduce the amount of work I put on the other developers. Especially since that costs money, lol
If I'm just trying to learn the basics and not trying to get a coding job, would this course be useful? Nucamp Coding Bootcamp | $1765 - 22 Weeks | Evenings & Weekends
I know very little about coding and would like to develop a general understanding on how everything works.

I've completed a few codecademy lessons and a few others, but I'm more than willing to pay 2 grand for the guidance and the ability to ask questions. Just trying to figure out if this program is offering useful material or is it just a money grab?
Let me put it this way. I know I can find free courses on how to lean different languages, but I dont know enough about the programming world to understand when/why I would use a specific language, and what else I would need to learn to after I learn the language. Basically I'm hoping I can get some answers while taking this course. If anyone has a better idea, let me know. Thanks.

It depends on your learning style. I can’t afford nor take time off for a boot camp, so online classes thru Udemy is the route that I’m using for now. Look up the ratings for the boot camps in your area to see how they fare and go from there. If you just want to learn just the basics, just watch some videos or order a cheap book from Amazon and go from there.

Just did a quick search on them. They are a little new imo so I would probably dig around some more. If you have extra money and extra time, I suppose it couldn't hurt though #KanyeShrug
Personally, similar to the poster above, I went the Udemy route & at the moment I'm taking Colt Steele's Web Developer's Bootcamp. It has been great in terms of cost + structure as I too shied away from the YouTube route.
If you are looking for a combination of great content + inexpensive + mentorship when you get stuck, then there is one resource that I think could work for you:
AppAcademy actually offers a paid bootcamp but they put the entire curriculum online for free to drum up interest in their program as a whole.
I recommend AppAcademy in your situation because not only is the entire course also free, but you can reach out to a mentor on weekdays for just $30/mo. I believe they have a Slack for people to chop it up in as well. Looking at the results on their paid Bootcamp are promising as well. The main concern I want to highlight is that the time dedication is a lot longer than a bootcamp, but based on what I've read, some people start applying for jobs before they finish the Bootcamp because it is that extensive and it teaches a lot of skills that employers look for.
The CEO of AppAcademy mentioned on Reddit that you can turn on/off the $30/mo mentoring as you need it, so you can do the free program until you get stuck and then pay $30 once and turn it off the following month if you're good.

Thanks a lot. Exactly the help I was looking for. App Academy definitely looks interesting. I was hoping to be done with the course by summer, and App Academy would last a lot longer than that, but it sounds like I'd learn a lot more going that route.
@Macallik86 One last question for you. I'm doing research on both the Udemy and App Academy course right now. Is there a specific reason why you chose the Udemy course over App Academy?

Came highly recommended by multiple reviewers/online instructors. I'm looking to have a good foundational understanding of Javascript since is the first true programming language I'm tackling.
Kind of a personal project that I think will pay dividends in the long run. My limited understanding is that Google created App Script to allow for automation within their popular apps, kinda like Microsoft uses Visual Basic to automate their apps. I think leveraging processes within Google Sheets, Google Slides and other products could be powerful for free personal ad-hoc reporting if/when I start a business. Since App Script uses JavaScript, the learning curve should be pretty minimal as I mature as a web developer.
I dabble in photography in my spare time and I'm looking for my photos to pop more on social media. I'm not one to buy monthly subscriptions to software, so the free alternative to Photoshop on Linux is GIMP. From what I've read, the software is powerful but can be overwhelming and so this course should teach me what I need to know to be proficient.
Off topic but does anyone have suggestions on a good laptop to get for around $500 - $600? My current one is on its last legs (around 9-10 years old) and I need something that is able to run faster and do multiple things especially since I getting more into coding.
