Super approachable information, presented in an easy to understand, albeit still challenging manner. Coding Dojo has great instructors and has left me feeling 100% ready to jumpstart my career as a software engineer.

Coding Dojo is a great bootcamp for beginners. Concepts are explained in an understandable way and the Learn platform which is the bread and butter of the bootcamp is excellent. You build on concepts slowly instead of learning the more complicated stuff right off the bat. They also spend an hour every day going over algorithms to prep us for our job search after the bootcamp. My only complaints really are the other students. Algorithms are done in groups, and projects at the end of each stack are solo or group, however to practice the AGILE software development we were expected to do stand ups every day with other cohort-mates. In both the group algorithms and daily stand ups for projects, I had team members who did not contribute and that honestly does hurt the experience. However -- when I did bring this up to my instructor, she resolved it whenever it happened, whether that was moving me to a different group or making algorithm groups larger so that there'd be a higher chance of participation. I would recommend Coding Dojo to any beginner who is trying to break into the field.

I took the online part-time Python full-stack course at Coding Dojo, and just graduated last week. I had a great learning experience through their portal and with the help of the instructors. I originally took the course to learn python for scripting in audio/visual control applications for customization. I looked around at other boot camps and settled on Coding Dojo because of their pricing, and their live teaching; many of the other camps simply gave you access to their learning portal. I had some experience with code academy, so the first few weeks of html and css were more or less review and expanding on what I knew. Michael Taylor was an amazing asset through and bumps or misunderstandings I had throughout this part of the course. Once we hit python, I had some trouble switching gears so quickly, but again, Michael was available to help where the lines weren't connecting. We then spent a month on Python and Django, getting exposure to the back-end programming. This is where things started to click more for me. All the free online courses I'd taken were solidified in my mind during this month I really liked the one on one meetings, where I could compile a list of things to discuss, and then go through my list with the instructor. Their Mattermost channel also had TAs available much of the time, if I ran into anything in the moment. Drew and Matthew were great at pushing me to understand the issue instead of just giving me the answer. When we got to the last month, focusing on Projects and Algorithms, we switched instructors to Matthew, who was also very helpful. The change of mind going from one language to another was the hardest part. We did a solo webpage project and a group one in the span of 5 weeks, which made me learn a lot of new techniques, including Bootstrap and Bulma. I think the most valuable thing I learned through this whole thing, is how to learn in this field. Much of the content can be learned from the programming languages documentation, and this camp allowed me to be in a position to understand how to do that, and what the gears of a website look like and do. Even though I tried to get at least 20 hours a week in of studying and practicing, I got closer to 15 most weeks, which was enough to get me to pass, but now I'm going to go over all the optional material and reinforce everything I've learned. They give you access to the portal for another 6 months after graduating. Their career services have been great so far in getting my resume up to snuff, going through the possible pitfalls in the interview process, and the mentality to apply and succeed in this field. Duy has and is continuing to be a great help in helping me transition into this new chapter for me. He's already started sending us job posts and is quick to answer any questions I've had. The only cons were that, I came across a couple areas in the curriculum that weren't super up to date, but I know they were updating things while my camp was going on, so hopefully that's fixed. I also wish you had access to the platform for longer after graduation, since the price for the course is pretty high, but I'll get as much as I can out of these remaining months that I have access. I feel like you definitely need to be a proactive learner to get the most out of this program. Having the Coding Dojo team there to guide and answer questions along the way were extremely helpful.

The course is awesome! The teachers and TA's are awesome and very dedicated to making sure that you succeed and understand the material before you are able to pass on to the next course. If you know little to nothing about coding and are taking this course, you'll want to make sure that you take the time necessary to do the reading and practice assignments. Also, try to find a group of people to do group sessions, this also allows you to get ready for the real world as well! All in all, I would recommend this to anybody that is looking to get into coding and has the time to give this course 150%

Really recommended for people coming with no prior experience, kinda expensive but instructors really we're putting in work. Only 4 stars in curriculum cause Web Fundamentals module curriculum was a bit outdated by teaching jQuery but still pretty good at everything else. As said recommended for beginners and people who want to start a career in web dev with no prior experience.

Absolutely love it! I believe that Coding Dojo is a great boot camp, with great instructors and TAs. As well, great support from CSMs and advices. Instructors create very pleasant atmosphere during lectures and motivate students. There is a lot of assignments and homework to do, but it is rewarding in knowledge you get. Would recommend it 100%.

Loved coding dojo. The instructors were great and it was an awesome experience. A lot of work tho!

It was good experience and learning something I didn't know about
