Code Fellows

Deciding to pursue my interest in software development at nearly 40 years old after working in the arts for over twenty years was terrifying. But after my journey through Code Fellows, I can say with confidence that I'm prepared both technically and culturally.... Read More I'm leaving these courses with not only the skills to competently program in my chosen language, but also a deeper understanding of the logic, and the agility to quickly learn new languages and tools. Along with feeling technically sound, the career preparation curriculum has left me feeling ready to face this new unknown industry. I feel comfortable and prepared for interviews, both technical and behavioral. I also feel prepared to be a viable, adaptive, member of a development team. Code Fellows didn't just teach me to code, they taught me how to be a developer, and a valuable commodity to any team.

I am so grateful to have taken the leap to attend Code Fellows. It is such a supportive learning atmosphere where the students are put first and the success of each individual student is a priority. I was continuously blown away by the resources and support... Read More I was given while navigating my career pivot both in learning to code and the career support and coaching they offer. It is a huge commitment and takes some grit to get through but the Code Fellows community is extremely supportive and truly cares about providing the best learning environment and curriculum focused on current tech trends and industry needs. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to pivot their career or learn a new language, it is well worth it!

I did a lot of shopping around to look at what the various bootcamps offer. Code fellows stood out to me right away. It didn't feel like the standard diploma-mill type bootcamp where they charge a ton of money then release their devs-in-waiting out into... Read More the wild to fend for themselves. My experience thus far at Code Fellows has been that it's a supportive place. Very challenging, but that's the idea of a bootcamp -- to take someone and give them what they need so that they can become a software dev as soon as possible. I could only say positive things about it at all levels. The curriculum is excellent and the instructors are super. I had Ryan for 201 and Nick for 301 and they both have different styles that I really benefited from. I look forward to taking 401 soon and capping off my studies here. If you're committed to becoming a developer and you are looking for a place that values individuals for what they bring, I'd recommend Code Fellows.

Not only do I now have a professional skill set that is greatly in demand at the moment but code fellows has given such an insight into being successful in the tech industry. I came from a non tech background nd within months I could not believe what... Read More I was capable of doing and learning. It has been the best decision I have made in my life so far and I'm honored to part of the Code Fellows professional network.

Great Experience, 5 months of long days and several hours but got me ready for a career in tech. Overall it has been an amazing experience, the one Con would be that i felt some of the TAs were not as helpful as i would have liked them to be, but there... Read More were also some amazing TAs, kind of hit or miss

If you are considering the Code Fellows program, I encourage you to apply. Through the six month program, I learned more valuable material than I did in a four year college. For people new to the tech world like myself, getting through the course was... Read More not an easy task. The program was a gruelling process, filled with sleepless nights and frustration, but the light at the end of the tunnel is well worth it. My understanding and progression of software development was exponential and I am eager to keep learning more. When the lecture was over, we went straight into the lab work where TAs and instructors will assist you with any assignments you are having trouble with or questions you had. It didn't matter if the question was easy or hard to answer, the Code Fellows instructional staff stood by you till you had a better understanding of the topic. Code Fellows not only teaches you about software development, but also the requirements needed to land that job position. During their career coaching sessions, you will be updating your resume to the level of their requirements, connecting you with developers from various companies and preparing you for any situation during a tech interview. Even after graduating from the program, Code Fellows has a career accelerated option where they support you and connect you to multiple tech companies to help guide through the struggles of finding the job. The only thing that would have made the experience better is if we could have gone into the Code Fellows campus. Though given the current COVID pandemic situation and everything needing to be remote, Code Fellows handled the situation very well with daily zoom lectures and provided a virtual compass where we worked on lab assignments. If I had the money and time to take another Code Fellows course, I would take it.

I joined the bootcamp to learn technical skills to augment my interest in data research and quality improvement, and ended up making a complete career transition into this industry. Codefellows provided a challenging, incremental and fun environment to... Read More learn. And along with great instruction, they have an extremely supportive network of graduates and industry recruiters that were able to assist me in making this transition successful.

Code Fellows is indeed a coding bootcamp, but it's a lot more than just a place you go to learn how to write code. The program is robust in that it teaches you as much about coding, the industry, and "how to learn" as can be taught in 6 months! They do... Read More a great job of exposing you to different parts of the industry and different paths your career could take you. The community is genuine, supportive, and legitimately interested in your success. If you're anything like me 6 months ago, considering a change in your career to better set yourself up for the future, I would highly recommend this program. The instructors and TAs are fantastic and if you find yourself learning from Roger, Nich, Lena, or JB, consider yourself lucky! They are experienced, up on current industry trends, and willing to help out in any way they can. There's a place for everyone in tech and Code Fellows will help you figure out where that might be for you.

Code Fellows is an amazing place to learn software development. The Code Fellows staff takes care of their students, they provide a robust curriculum with tons of TA and instructor support. They were always ready and willing to answer any questions. Code... Read More Fellows has a great community of like-minded people that are great to work with and are always helpful. If you are on the edge about doing a bootcamp I saw do it, you will not regret, any bootcamp will be a great experience but in particular Code Fellows is top tier in education and community. You will end your course battered with knowledge and wanting more.

I was always under the impression that the university route was the only route. After three and a half years of pushing my way through school with it losing its luster each year I was eager to find a new path. When I discovered Code Fellows it was immediately... Read More clear this was the way to go, and I was not wrong! I was surrounded by instructors and staff who cared about their students. I learned more than just how to code, but how to learn how to learn. Aside from the silliness of that statement, I learned truly how important that skill is in the ever-changing world of software development. I recommend Code Fellows to anyone who wants to learn how to code. Start with the 101 workshop and go from there!
