SwitchUp SwitchUp Ranked Best Coding Bootcamps 2025

Student Stories: Jose Martinez

Currently studying Full-stack Web Development

Q: Is this your first time learning to code?

Actually, it’s not! I have learned a bit of programming back in college. I studied systems engineering (a lot of people confuse it with computer science). We learned a bit of C++ and a lot of classes in math, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.

The only programming language I use now is a bare-minimum level of Python. So, I wanted to do more, and I looked for coding bootcamps and found Altcademy.

Q: How do you like Altcademy so far?

It’s pretty good. I am enjoying it. I personally learn better via written material! The learning topics are very interesting.

I like the way the curriculum is structured at Altcademy. Everything is explained from the ground up, so you understand each building block and how everything is connected at the end.

You will have a big picture of web development and also know how things work individually.

Q: What are your goals?

A lot of the things Altcademy teaches are in high demand now. I am giving myself 8 months to complete the entire program, and I will start looking for jobs afterward!
