Coder Foundry

I had knowledge of basics in Html and C# going into the class. This knowledge was greatly expanded during the class. This is not a normal 9-5 class. For several weeks hard work and dedication to keep up with the projects and the rest of the class paid... Read More off. I interviewed and landed a job before the class was over. The skills I learned there allowed me to get into the field and I felt the interview prepping and assistance on presentation were also helpful. I felt like the instructors cared and wanted you to succeed. I loved it and would definitely recommend it. This place can change your life!

After graduating from this bootcamp I expected job assistance but there was absolutely none. In the end I got a job, but it was with self-taught skills I picked up while applying to jobs on my own. It's very disappointing to know that I owe $25,000 for... Read More no reason... even the certificate didn't play a role.

I came in to Coder Foundry as a complete amateur to code writing, and within the first week I couldn't believe how many concepts I had already been exposed to - and I was able to understand them all! The curriculum is very cleverly designed so that you... Read More start at an accessible level and very rapidly scale up to more advanced concepts built on that foundation. The three months are exhausting, highly concentrated, and totally worth it because you leave the program with concrete projects and the knowledge of how to walk through the code in great detail. Additionally, the staff and job placement services are top-notch

The .NET content was pretty good, but my whole purpose for going to this specific bootcamp was the job support. After the graduation, they completely forget you exist. Very little contact and definitely no interviews. The job support 'process' is: 1)... Read More student creates a list of jobs 2) student applies to jobs But hey, at least I have 100 new LinkedIn connections with other jobless grads. The worst part is now I have to pay 25k for this crap while they just launched the exact same thing as a 100$ course.

Code Foundry doesn't do what is easy - it does what is necessary to help you succeed. You will work hard and you will see progress - if you do the work. Bring your A game and you will succeed. You will not regret your decision. If you want proof or have... Read More questions, visit my portfolio at https://josuecedeno.netlify.app/index.html

So to be transparent I had 9 months of C# experience before Coder Foundry bootcamp when I was learning Game development with C# and Unity game engine and dabbled in WinForms and WPF a little bit as well. So Coder Foundry is a C# and .Net focused bootcamp... Read More that focuses on Web Development. Web Dev is alot different than Game Dev or Desktop applications, so if you even if you have alot of C# experience but never tocuhed web you will learn alot. Even with previous knowledge I still learned so much and it was a blessing because I was able to pick up on everything alot quicker and remember it easier as well. I did have to humble myself when part of me wanted to the Instructor's job of teaching or when I wanted to teach my classmates advanced topics that weren't really relevant at the time. Coder Foundry is a bootcamp so everything is fast paced since there is only 3 months of teaching. The instructors are patient with us as the students and are ok with repeating concepts until we all get it and if one person still struggles they will help that person in a separate room(we used Zoom so breakout room). The way they do things is teach a little and then have you do lab sessions to immediately put to use what you just learned. It may feel like they are wasting all those dollars your paying just to have you figure a bunch of stuff out on your own but honestly it helps cement the information and they are there to help you if you need it, just ask. They teach encourage you to figure stuff out on your own because that's what you'll have to do one day anyways but they guide and point you in the right direction. They are teaching you to be developers instead of teaching you and having you fill a multiple choice test or instead learning a bunch of data structures and algorithms like someone with 4years of college will learn. Because the teachers are patient with people who are struggling we didn't complete everything in the syllabus, which sucked but was still worth the 15,000 - 18,000 I will be paying one day. They do have a Self-paced course you can purchase access to for a monthly fee if your skeptical. I will say some of the biggest things that helped me in the bootcamp where learning how to debug each others problems. Seeing all the ways I could mess up in the future, the networking with classmates and teachers, being able to ask questions for more understanding instead of just watching a youtube video and trying to figure out the stuff they forgot to mention. And after being mostly isolated for 9 months because Coronavirus and not being in school for many years it got me used to talking to people again and asking questions even if I felt dumb and it got me more comfortable with Zoom which is must have skill after this pandemic we went thru alot of jobs will probably interview with Zoom so it's good to get comfortable with it. Also ask questions, your paying a lot of money so ask away so you can get understanding. I'm mainly an introvert but I tried to ask questions alot. It also helps people that more introverted than you or scared to ask questions, you will help out the whole class. There were sometimes when the instructors took longer breaks for lunch and that bothered some days because I felt jipped on my education and other days it was great cuz I needed a break. Also as far as job search I feel like they could of done better but they were in a transition period when I joined because there job recruiter just left the company and they now have a new partnership so future classes will benefit(I also benefit from their new partnership it just happened after the bootcamp). Also with job prep I feel like they were lacking. We were supposed to do mandatory mock interviews but we never did them(some classmates did have an opportunity but it a just a few) and I'm the kind of person that needs to be forced to do something like that, if given a choice I will say no. Besides not completing all of the projects they said we would do(just 1 we only half completed) and the lack of job prep Coder Foundry is still a great bootcamp and I would highly recommend it. If your on the fence take the software developer quiz on their website, that literally made the difference from me being a hobby game dev guy for the rest of my life to becoming a full stack web developer who can make a career change from working in restaurants/bars/factories /warehouses to someone who can code for a living.

This is a great boot camp. I had previous development experience. In 12 weeks I've grown immensely as a developer. From the onset, the instructors are very all senior-level developers with years of experience. I loved building the real-life projects that... Read More we build in the boot camp. The instructors teach you to leverage your projects in interviews. If you want to become a .net full stack developer. This is the boot camp that you need. I got a job under a week after completing the boot camp.

I was a complete coding newbie and the immersive learning style really helped me learn. The 12 weeks were very difficult, but very worth it. The variety they taught felt overwhelming at the time, but looking at the job descriptions, I see they provided... Read More us with the well-rounded skills hiring people are looking for. And due to the reputation Coder Foundry has, I feel more hiring managers are contacting me on LinkedIn which is increasing my job opportunities.

Had a great experience! Despite Graduating in the middle of Covid job placement stuck with me and helped me find a job. I really learned a lot from the course but continued coding really solidified the principles and base foundation I received from Coder... Read More Foundry. I would recommend Coder Foundry to other people.

One of the most positive experiences I have ever had. Despite how exhausted you become you really do feel the improvement and learning. By the end of the course the content you struggled to grasp in the beginning is something you can imagine how to reproduce... Read More in 3-4 ways. I feel like I got a real useful skill and I can take it out into the job market immediately.
