I really enjoyed my time at coding dojo. From a beginner with no prior knowledge, I learned a ton. I am not sure if I could have actually learned more. My one criticism is that they should be more front end focusing, without deminishing the current curriculum. I think learning great front end development principles and focusing more on front end frameworks would be more practical for student immediately after graduation.

IF you dont have cs experience , dont ever try this. And also i spend it 12k for this school and they shut learning platform after 6months graduated. You need spend $50 every month for renew to see learning platform. Again if you already have cs experience and want to learn other computer language soon as possible, this program is fit for you. But person expect carrer change , you need to be think really really really carefully.

Coding Dojo worked out well for me, as I secured a full time job as a software engineer within 2 months of graduating and after 6 months got a 25K a year raise to move to a much more fun developer job. That being said, I also have a BSIT in software engineering and years of experience in very low level tech jobs. Most of the other students I met while I was there had a very difficult time finding work and gave up after 6 months to a year of trying. Another issue I realized after entering the workforce is that doing the same assignments in 3 different stacks only gives the most minimal knowledge of the MVC structure. It would be more valuable to learn how to apply Oauth to the 2nd and 3rd stack as that is more likely to be similar to what you do in the real world. After the first stack, I think going over industry standard packages and technologies would be valuable in helping students find work afterwards. Still very happy I went, and I think if changes are implemented then many more students would successfully find work after graduating.

I would not recommend this program to anyone, unless they already have a computer science degree. I would recommend Galvanized probably. The biggest challenge is that they are not teaching what is actually available for junior developers to gain employment. I think it is highly unethical that they would get paid money from Microsoft and encourage students to learn .Net Core instead of Java. I think that they should be offering PHP as well. The program says that they graduate full-stack developers, but I doubt anyone could actually do deployment on their own or build their own microserver. I would also say that since I completed the program 80% of graduates are still unemployed. I have not heard from my career services person 1x. I think that this program false advertise and I cannot wait to join the class action law suit that I have been hearing about from other unemployed students. This program is totally unethical. I have tried to contact instructors and gotten no responses at all. I have gone back and tried to visit and everyone was rude and acted like I was not welcomes.

I thought it was an awesomely run boot camp. The content helped you learn to code and was fresh. Those provided assets were great but they were only teaching aids for the great staff. Basically it was 4 months of being in an atmosphere condusive to approaching and wanting to be around. The instructors are welcoming, engaging, smart, and just helpful.

Not a good experience at all with the instructors and the experienced on campus. I was NOT PLEASED with the lack of attention to instructing me as a student - especially after I tried to ask for help. Instructors were never around to help, nor were they able to assist with the learning lessons. I would NOT RECOMMEND to other future students. It was a waste of time for me to invest money and time into this school. PLEASE go else where if you want to learn programming!!!

When there is an issue with your product and you offer a refund or some kind of compensation for not delivering as promised, you compensate everyone and not just the people who complain the loudest. You try to make things right with your customers.

Learned a lot but still don’t seem to be prepared for the job market. We didn’t learn enough to really stand out in the job market.
