Coding Dojo

(Note: Prior to my Coding Dojo Experience, I had only taken a C++ course which I don’t really remember and didn’t really understand much because they were concepts and theory.)
This was a really rewarding experience for me. I definitely grew as a person and as a developer over our 14 week course. It was an amazing experience and I am glad I took a leap of faith in Coding Dojo and myself. I dropped everything, moved 1100 miles and learned a lot. I learned how to problem solve, I learned a lot about all the technologies in the industry and I learned a lot about myself. I really appreciate the connections I made throughout coding dojo and the friends I made in my cohort.
I took LAMP, MEAN, and Ruby on Rails and because Coding Dojo gave us the opportunity to learn 3 stacks, I got a feel for what languages I like. I’m excited to continue learning more on my own and Coding Dojo left me with a confidence that I can continue learning on my own and pick up new languages. The instructors were always there for us to answer our questions. And the career advisors are extremely helpful and care for every one of us.
Shoutout to Nikki B and Speros! Nikki is the best person ever! Funniest jokes. Much enthusiasm. So charismatic. And Speros: Awesome demos. Very helpful. Much friend. Wow. Kris works here too.

Coding Dojo was a great experience and a wonderful introduction to full stack web programming. Over 14 weeks, my cohort and I went through the LAMP, MEAN, and Ruby on Rails stacks. I came in to the boot camp not really knowing what to expect and was surprised by the amount I was able to absorb in such a short period.
The platform for each stack was well designed. There is almost always a TA or instructor available to help. The boot camp encouraged us to expand knowledge outside of the platform as well. We created our own projects, had hackathons, and worked daily on algorithms.
To prospective students — It’s not for everyone. At the end of the day, the camp doesn’t thoroughly teach any language, but it does provides all the necessary tools. It surrounds you with a great environment and motivated students. If you are willing to put in the work, Coding Dojo could be an excellent opportunity.
