Coder Foundry

I like that the project assignments were real-world situations and each project was build upon the prior projects to solidify the learning. Concurrently, we were made to find the solutions through our own devices more and more with less and less spoon-feeding from the instructors. I learnt a lot in a short time under this regimen.

I did not consider their job placement services as very important to me when I came in. I was going to take charge of my own placement. But looking back now, I am very appreciative of it. Towards the end of the course when I should have started my own job search, well, I was swamped with trying to complete assignments and my portfolio. All the interviews I've gotten thus far have been through Coder Foundry's contacts. 1/3 of my class had job offers before w...

I attended the Master class in winter of 2016, with more emphasis on the 'beginner' part of advanced beginner. I was making a career switch from artist/educator/woodworker, and looking for job stability. The course was consistently challenging, and paced well to keep ramping up challenges without dumping you into the deep end. The one-on-one instructor relationship and collaboration with classmates is such a benefit! Their portfolio structure not only gives you something to show potential employers, but gives you the satisfaction of completing applications from the ground up. The requisites are specific enough that you know exactly what the goal is, but flexible enough to give you room to explore other concepts that interest you along the way.

CF's job preparation was invaluable, an...

I enjoyed the hands on project work. The projects are fun and usable.

The teachers had no actual teaching experience. I was one of five people and I don't feel like I learned much. Our last project was given to us, with all of the code in tact because they didn't have time to teach it to us. I'm going to attend another coding school because I would still like to get into the profession.

Thy taughts us from the perspective of going directly into the workplace, and they prepared us as much as possible for that

I am going to cut to the chase and tell you what a great experience I had at Coder Foundry. My instructors were amazing. I never felt uncomfortable about asking a question or needing help with anything. Even later in the evening, on slack, my instructors were there to help with the smallest or largest problems.
The curriculum was fantastic. The program is set up to simulate an actual job with deliverables and weekly interviews where they asked you technical questions to test your knowledge and get you comfortable with job interviews. By the end of the boot camp I had 4 completed projects and the confidence to enter the employment search as a web developer.
I had a job offer within a few weeks. I recommend Coder Foundry, whether or not they have experience in the field, you will gai...

The best aspect is the emphasis on getting a job at the end - that's all what we are here for. Having the portfolio to showcase our work, and practicing interviewing skills each week has been key.

Everything you learn builds upon the next thing you do. Instructors know their stuff and will make you broaden your way of thinking

The pros were that it was good to have a place to sit and learn. The instruction wasn't very good at all. One of the teachers was great and everyone asked him questions when they needed help and the other wasn't as helpful.

The cons are that one of the instructors has never had a job as a C# programmer. She was a former student, so it's hard to take seriously what she said about the job market.

$10,000 is a lot of money to feel unsatisfied.

It was a great experience for me from start to finish. The instruction was great, the job placement services went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for, and the curriculum did a fantastic job illustrating the concepts of MVC and .NET.

When I went through the application process to attend Coder Foundry’s Master Class, I was required to take a programming test that consisted of 5-6 JavaScript problems. Two to three of my programs were incorrect. (At this point, I don’t remember the exact figures and I no longer have access to my test results, but I am certain that the percentage of answers correct was well below 100%.) Moreover, I had indicated that I had no actual software-developing job experience. The Coder Foundry reps evaluating my application materials had no basis to think I was some kind of coding genius. Nevertheless, during the Google Hangouts interview with Coder Foundry reps (which was the last step in the application process), I was told that I would make $70,000 per year after graduating from the Master C...

I loved Coder Foundry. I has an undergraduate degree in Math but I wanted to move into coding. Coder Foundry gave me the skills and the confidence to win a job. The teachers were fantastic and the full time job placement services is great. I am now working at a major consulting company has a .NET developer.

The teachers were good and know their stuff. There was a focus on job preparation and job placement throughout the course. That was the common thread with every week. I learned a ton and was able to land a job as a developer through Natosha. I have a ton more to learn, but I am on my way.

Monday interviews are a great exposure for preparing for the actual interviews. It helps me know the areas where I have space for improvement.

Tons of hands-on, practical experience.

I like that we are learning things that are practical and useful in the field. I like that you guys help us find a job after. This was the deciding factor for me to come here opposed to other boot camps.

The instructors are fantastic and are excellent communicators; they know how to engage their students and attend to their needs.

I find the teaching style effective.

Loved the people - students, instructors, and staff. The camaraderie, the common goals and the attainment (100%) of those goals.

There was an excellent focus on practicality in everything that was taught.

I learnt a great deal, have made awesome friends, and I know I will be successful at my next job. New students should be made aware that they will need to prepare for at least a month if they a new to coding! Thanks.

I love the teaching model and support throughout the class. Small classes are crucial to ensuring this.

This is a wonderful program that not only teaches the latest technology but also helps in training students to handle interviews better and supports us in our job search. The staff is very professional. I like their format by which they don't give us answers to our questions directly but nudge us in the right direction, so we can find our own answers. This makes the students confident about their ability to solve issues. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in becoming a programmer.

Through CF, I feel confident in my abilities with MVC, C#, .Net, ASP, Web API and Bootstrap.

I attended Coder Foundry to obtain new skills, and to learn the industry in order to begin a new business. I was absolutely pleased with the course. The staff's integrity drips from it's leadership. The technology is bleeding-edge.

CF has created a focus and drive that cannot be obtained individually on your own. It has educated me on technologies that will allow me to serve a narrow, yet growing section of the IT marketplace: ASP.net, MVC, AngularJS, over hosted and cloud-based services.

We now live in the connection economy. Traditionally safe careers are now dead ends. Coder Foundry offers you a chance to spend a quarter of a year jumpstarting your world. Most settle for unhappy, and the myth that they are secure. CF offered me a window into a chance to live a better story. ...

Coder Foundry was a life-changing experience for me. Coder Foundry definitely showed me the way to progress towards a career as a developer. It was difficult, but it didn’t feel like work, just one more logic problem to solve. I also made a lot of good connections that will help me find new opportunities in the future.

My experience at Coder Foundry was amazing. You're able to directly apply what you learned in the class instead of just learning theory. It was really cool to get a hands-on experience with the code.

Working on projects instead of just reading textbooks or working on homework has given me an even larger set of skills that I can take with me to the workplace immediately.

Coder Foundry offered mentorship, which is what I valued the most out of my experience here.

Everything that was taught was very applicable. There was a lot to cover, and I think they did a good job of presenting it. I did multiple interviews for employment with different companies during my time in the program, and ultimately I landed a job, so no complaints there.
