Coding Dojo was a pleasant experience. The material moved very fast but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing because you have an expectation of what you needed to know. The school was trying to make you job ready as fast as possible. People were very friendly and supportive. The only suggestions I would have is to focus more on object oriented programming and have more real life example projects that employers would want to see. Overall I enjoyed the experience and have had communication with my teachers past my time learning there which lets me know they are supportive in assisting my career. They didn't just see me as a number.

I found that the instructors were not truthful about the percentage of students who get developer positions afterwards. I think they are quoting statistics that are not true. I feel that this is false advertisement. Please talk to recent graduates before signing up for this. You can find them on LinkedIn with titles of "freelance developer", or "seeking developer position". Its quite funny that you can find a very similar learning platform online for free. It is called freecodecamp.org. I wish I would have known this before I payed 13,000 dollars. freecodecamp also has online and in person communities where you can get the same experience by coding with others. I get a really strange feeling when I am there because they have cameras everywhere. This makes me uncomfortable because I know the instructors are sometime watching live streams of students. I saw this happen while walking behind an instructor once. Also, three "project weeks" and one "break week" are weeks during your time there where people don't come in. So technically you pay for a month where there is NO instruction. Very disappointed in that.

I encourage everyone who wants to be an excellent developer to choose Coding Dojo because it is the best school that most of the big companies recognize for their potentiality and your paper will have a lot of value as well.

It's a pretty good experience for a non-traditional "classroom." If you like more structure, then this is not the program for you, but if you like learning from the comfort of your own home, this could be perfect for you. The instructors (for this course) are knowledgeable and answer questions politely and quickly. That's a huge plus when is trying to learn. Pricing for the full programs is expensive and classes are fast paced, so I'd vet instructors as well as teaching style very closely before buying in. Also, I would come fully prepared to the full programs. I'd already have a good, broad basis in HTML & JavaScript. I'd also practice algorithms beyond their free platform.

I came to the Coding Dojo with some experience in Software Quality Assurance; however, I had no knowledge of programming. The onsite program was a big challenge for me to get through but I'm glad that I did it. The instructors and mentors there were phenomenal and great to work with.

I was a little hesitant about Coding Dojo when I started but I was honestly blown away by both the school itself and by the kind of students that I saw there. Most students there have some work experience and a lot of them have college degrees. A lot of people, like me, were looking for a career change and were serious about learning. I ended up getting two different offers from great companies and was very pleased with the job I ended up with. It can be a little tricky looking for jobs afterwards because some companies focus a lot on CS degrees or in-depth technical interviews which were tough coming from so little experience, but I was surprised at how many companies also valued me more highly because of my diverse background and didn't care about my lack of experience. If you are looking for a career change or looking to get into coding, I would highly recommend coding dojo.

I like the concept of coding dojo, learning with many students from different fields who has passion about coding and many awesome instructors. But I don’t know why does coding dojo allow instructors work on their personal projects or spend time hacking other websites during school hours. We paid nearly 10k to learn and learning 3 stacks within 3 months is very tough for starters. I remember at the night before final exam, the instructor barely finished the course and most of the students were still half way through. He was rushing to leave early and a student tried to “encourage” him to demonstrate codes on exam-review since the final exam is next day morning but he told the student don’t “brown nose” him. He gave first exam that was not covered by the review .... it may be just happened on this particular instructor but as an instructor he should be humble and try to encourage students more. and not try to fail students on the exam. And we all know 3 stacks program is way too rush, then maybe should consider redesign a program that is more suitable.

Coding Dojo was an amazing experience that gave me confidence to not only program and learn more programming afterwards, but also to self teach any topic that I am interested in. Prior to Coding Dojo, I had no experience with programming or even the command line, but I am currently learning C quickly and smoothly with little issue due to the skills I gained at the dojo. Now I am prepared for internships and full time not just technically but also in work ethic since the bootcamp required rigorous schedule and self drive and motivation for success.
