Norfolk.js Meetup
January 18th, 2016
For our January meetup, Frances Coronel will be talking about the rise of JavaScript-based coding bootcamps and her experiences with employers and developers alike becoming increasingly aware of their importance and growth worldwide.
Frances is a web developer at 80|20 and a senior CS major at Hampton University who enjoys web-design/development and chocolate dipped strawberries. And yes, that’s what her logo is.

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).

I wanted a place that would teach me
faster than I could teach myself.
And school wasn't the option.
In comes bootcamps!

of finding employment as a software engineer.

verified jobs report.
