AI Software Engineering

Just finished the year-long software engineering residency at Coding Temple and I can't say enough good things about it. The program is the real deal. We worked on an actual production mobile app for an oil services company with real stakeholders, real deadlines, and a real team. By the end of the residency I had built out features touching React Native, Flask, Postgres, AI integration with Gemini and Claude, biometric authentication, GPS proximity verification, and offline-first sync. Nothing toy about any of it.Ellijah, Justin and Sara were a huge part of why this worked. As a teachers and mentors they were incredible support throughout the entire program. Patient with the harder concepts, sharp on code review feedback, and always available when something blocked the team. They treat students like teammates, which is exactly the energy you want when you're learning to work on real codebases.Highly recommend Coding Temple to anyone serious about transitioning into software engineering. The depth is there if you put in the work.

During my tech residency at Coding Temple, I gained valuable real-world experience working in a collaborative development environment. I had the opportunity to network, learn new frameworks and technologies, and strengthen my skills through a well-structured program. The residency challenged us to think like engineers by working directly with stakeholders and developing a fully functional application as a team.I’m grateful to have been part of the experience. Our project manager, Elijah Jimenez, was an excellent leader who consistently supported the team, helped resolve challenges, and kept everyone aligned with the project goals. The overall experience was both rewarding and motivating. I would highly recommend the tech residency to anyone pursuing a career in software engineering. In just 60 days, we collaborated, solved complex problems, and delivered a product we were proud of. Five stars!

I came into the program with some basic HTML knowledge, and what this program really does is it stacks the knowledge on top of each other where you can get to the point of building a static website, a website with functionality, and then building that back end so you can have a database and the website attached to it. The program is very well structured for you to be successful, and they have a very well calendar set up for you to go to events and things that will help you in the long run. This is definitely a challenge. But if you're willing to put in the time to problem solve these complex projects and accept that you're going to go a little crazy figuring out some of these things. Go ahead!

My experience at Coding Temple has been nothing short of transformative. As a graduate of their Full-Stack Developer program, I can confidently say this bootcamp delivers on its promise of preparing students for immediate job readiness in the tech industry.The curriculum at Coding Temple is exceptionally comprehensive and cutting-edge. The advanced React and Firebase coursework provided me with the modern tools and frameworks that employers are actively seeking. I worked on real-world projects that mirror actual industry challenges, including building an Amazon-inspired e-commerce application complete with authentication, payment processing, and dynamic inventory management. The API challenges throughout the program pushed me to think critically and solve complex problems independently.What truly sets Coding Temple apart is the caliber of their instructors.

I'm a full-time college student who somehow does coding on the side. When I first enrolled, I thought I had made some huge mistake. I feel like most people would carefully consider a decision that could change their life. I sure didn't. The first few weeks were difficult for me, but I realize now that was probably mostly self-inflicted. Coding Temple is more than a learning course to complete; it's more like taking a journey on a pathway. It's personal for me, running deeply into every aspect of life. I know I'm a ranter, but just bear with me. Now, it's like I might actually have a chance at learning something I didn't think was possible for me. I can actually code! Seeing my progress, as slow as it is, is more than enough to keep me from giving up. I want to explore the possibility of technology and how it can change my life. I have already come into contact with wonderful people and experiences. What will happen next, I wonder?

This bootcamp was very helpful. My goal was to learn more about programming specifically backend and I now feel much more confident with those skills than I did prior to the bootcamp. I took the backend python specialization and Dylan was super helpful creating videos and hosting live classes that made it much easier to understand the content. The instructors are all very helpful and available to help almost anytime. The curriculum is well laid out and they are constantly evolving the bootcamp experience based off of surveys they offer to students. It is very clear that they want you to succeed and if you are willing to put in the work you will get lots out of it. There is also extensive career search help both during and after you complete the bootcamp.

Overall, this bootcamp has made a great impact on my learning journey. The hands-on projects have helped solidify my understanding of the material. The live sessions are especially valuable and feel like the cherry on top, offering real-time support and clarification that are key to success.What truly makes Coding Temple stand out is the quality of the instructors. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from Yessica Sosa, Daniel Erazo, and Allan Ahmed; all of whom are very professional, well-trained, and capable of breaking down even the most complex topics. Their support and teaching styles have made a real difference.Two areas that could enhance the experience are the use of the Disco platform and the Career Department. Adding more structured content and resources to Disco would make it even more effective for self-paced learning during off hours. Additionally, I feel the Career Department could be improved, as the sessions sometimes feel unproductive and not as focused or impactful as the rest of the program. With a few adjustments, this part of the bootcamp could better match the high standards set by the instructional team.Thank you for providing such a meaningful and challenging learning experience.

 Coding Temple was a life-changing experience. The program is solid, but what made it exceptional was Yessica Sosa. She’s not only a great instructor but also a true mentor who genuinely cares about every student’s success. Her support and encouragement kept me going and helped me grow so much. Highly recommend! 

This is the only SE bootcamp I have experienced, so I cannot compare to others, but overall I had a positive experience with Coding Temple. I did the self paced SE program. While learning the core material Coding Temple made some changes to the structure of the teaching, it felt hard to keep up with the changes for a little while, but it seems like the changes are settled down. Katelyn Mehner was a great resource while learning the core material, ready to help with any question you throw at her. The backend specialization was really well organized and well taught by Dylan Katina. The effort that you put in the program is what you'll get out of it and I think that really applies to the self paced course. Coding Temple has all the material, great instructors, career resources and more, if you put in the effort Coding Temple will help you get the most out of the program.

This Software Engineering Course tested me and challenged me, but I think it was for the better! I am proud of the knowledge that I gained. I believe the course does have room for potential improvement in the way of teaching up-to-date software and principles. But the instructors!! The instructors were A+ from beginning to end! My Course Instructor Christian was the best instructor I could have! All the way to my specialization instructor, Dylan, who challenged us to be proactive, but was always there to pick us up when we fell short!
