I had a great experience attending Coding Dojo. Classes are well structured and teachers are knowledgeable. I was lucky to make some friends along the way too, and having a good community helps a lot in the journey. Some statistics about post-grad job search: graduated in late December, started applying for jobs in February. After sending about 50-70 applications I secured about 10 interviews and on 21st March I started working as a SE for a consulting company. My only complaint would be Career Services. My manager canceled all 3 of the scheduled meetings, I requested a change and got assigned a person who was leaving the company and during our call wasn't really engaged anymore. That got me a little discouraged so I didn't use that part of the service, although the content on the learning platform was very useful and helped me in the preparation of my resume. All in all great experience was absolutely worth it!

tldr; I like the structure of the class and the instructor, however, I do believe that there are some improvement can be made in TA scheduling and group project. For TA scheduling, I was informed that I took too many 1 on 1 coding reviews every week which I thought was supposed to be encouraging to utilize. For group project, I only got assigned to the other student since the rest of the team members didn't show up. I didn't feel that I got the full experience of co-working because of that. Regardless of those two points, I'd say I would highly recommend Coding Dojo because this is the program that I persisted in learning coding and finally made my own web app. Being a person who always procrastinates, it's fascinating that the team has a good structure and rules (assignment every week and exams) that step by step leads the students to learn to code and with TA to help when meeting with difficulties.

It's 3-month bootcamp, so it's hardcore. No joke. That doesn't mean it's grim, however. I met positive-minded people in all of my cohorts. Learning with them brightened my day, made me look forward to the next. Same goes for the teachers. Regardless of how many times I asked they were there for me. Whatever materials Dojo tells you to study before you start I highly recommend it. Wish it was longer as I'm a slow learner.

Instructors are very supporting and the entire Coding Dojo team wants you to succeed. They have a large, friendly community which is vital in this career path.

Good instructors, updated tech pathway and the platform work fine. Points that need improve traduction in my case take the chilean mern bootcamp and traductiona have a lot of errors. Other strong points of bootcamp is the work preparation and help in the search of first programmer job it’s work for me.

I did the full-time Fullstack Web Development program at Coding Dojo. They weren't kidding when they said that the program will take most of your time during the three months you're enrolled. I really enjoyed the courses and I feel like they were able to help me understand the foundation of the programming languages I signed up for. I also have some portfolio projects thanks to Project Week. It was great to see people with different backgrounds come together and learn from the very beginning. It was a little too fast paced though. Because you move on from a language right away and start a new one, it's not surprising that you can forget what you've learned previously. There were also some things in the curriculum I wish they would've taught (and not optional) such as deployment. All in all, I definitely enjoyed my time at Coding Dojo. Is it worth the money? I'm not sure, but the possibilities you have after completing the program are endless.

I like this bootcamp. It was really extra hard for me because I have two small kids and am going through a divorce, but for an average person who has someone to help them take care of chores and meals this is definitely a doable program although alot of hours and at times quite challenging. It feels SO good when you figure out a bug and build the full stack belt exams at the end. When I have shown people what I can make now they seem genuinely very impressed. I just finished last week and am going to look for jobs soon so we will see how that goes but overall I am fairly confident in getting one eventually.

Even the part time is Very fast paced. They say to plan on 20-30 hours per week of coding and homework and this is sometimes conservative if you are not familiar with the language(s) and stack(s) ahead of time. The method of instruction is effective, it builds upon itself over time with increasingly difficult concepts. The only down side is that sometimes you will learn a difficult concept and then you won't touch it again to that depth for a bit, so it's hard to internalize a few things right off the bat. A little more repetition would be nice, but it would come at the price of either an unreasonable amount of work per week or a longer program. All-in-all it has been a very effective program and I feel like I have a basic understanding of a day-to-day developer routine, at least much more than I did prior!
