    Coding Dojo Experience

    Coding Dojo was an awesome experience.The learning platform is well thought out and put together to make your learning experience memorable. I learned more here than I would have on my own in a shorter amount of time. I appreciate all of the instructors and their time and patients with us during the course. I had an opportunity to meet great people  as well as work in a team oriented environment. Coding Dojo is without a doubt an  experience I will never forget.

    Felt Like Hogwarts

    " Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic " - Arthur C. Clarke. That's how I felt about programming before attending Coding Dojo.  Mythical. Fascinating. I'd never written a single line of code before attending, but these brilliant teachers broke down everything into steps, and layered upon those steps day by day, until, before I even realized it, *I* was creating fully fledged applications by myself. They made coding underst...

    Coding Dojo Review

    For me, the most helpful aspect of the coding dojo was it’s structure. Showing up every morning and trying to make it to the end of day goal before I left gave me a sense of achievement that I was not getting while taking online courses at home. The instructors were helpful, and even more so my cohort mates. It really helped me to be around a group of people that were going through the same curriculum. In my experience the career services have been very helpful with my resume, social med...

    Given the runaround

    I applied and was accepted to the December Cohort in Dallas for Coding Dojo.  After trying to communicate with them after they happily took my $1,000 deposit, I was given the run around.  Because it was such a big investment and the communication was severely lacking (voicemails and emails unreturned), I decided to ask for a refund. 

    No response.  Ironically, I got an email the week before the cohort was supposed to begin saying something along the lines of congratulations, 20% o...

    Great Bootcamp

    Learned more than I could've imagined in 14 weeks and definitely more than I did when I was trying to teach myself. The instructors are supportive, but always encouraging you to become a self-sufficient problem solver. This bootcamp made me fall in love with code and opened my eyes to the power of technology. I loved the 3 stack curriculum, but not sure if I would have a stronger foundation going into the job search market if I went to a bootcamp that focused on one. Overall though, great ...

    LIKE NOTHING EVER BEFORE

    Amazing bootcamp with amazing people who just want you to strive and succeed. I've never attempted a bootcamp of any sort. This is going to push you past your limits and level you up as an individual, that is a fact. This was definitely worth it and extremely rewarding. I learned more than I could've hoped for from this program. Initially I tried to self-teach myself how to code but I had no idea where to start or what to do. They lay out an efficient step by step process and build you tow...

    For Those Serious About Making A Career Change Happen Quickly

    Coding Dojo is just that, a bootcamp for people looking to make an entrance into the programming world as quickly but most importantly as efficiently as possible. The course is very fast paced but great at emphasizing the things you really need to know and preparing you to be a full stack developer. You'll enjoy the course and learning climb and the people evev more.

    I went from knowing nothing to being ready to look for a job in three months. While there are many free resources to learn online, there are so many important concepts that would have taken me so much longer to learn about on my own. This has been a wonderful experience for me
