Codeworks

Codeworks curriculum and instructors are phenomenal. I tend to overthink and over research when spending a lot of money on a program and consequently have a lot of experience and familiarity with different programs. I actually started attending the App... Read More Academy online program. App Academy is known to be one of the top school in the states but their online program at least, I found to be severely lacking. You only had exposure to one instructor, who was also a recent graduate of the program.

I also took a NuCamp program, which for the cost was good but it doesn't really get you job ready. Codeworks on the other hand, has a much higher barrier to entry. You have to do some fairly advanced coding just to get in and know JavaScript fairly well under the hood. You also need to do a technical and culture fit interview, along with building a basic app. So I do agree that the take you from 30% to 100%, rather than the typical beginner to 70%. You get much more out of it, having already done work ahead of time.

Their instructors are also industry veterans and very nice people, who work hard for you. I actually signed up for the full Software Dev program but only had the time to complete the shorter course, so I missed out on the group projects but don't think that hurt me much.
Overall the curriculum is excellent. We got exposure to numerous frameworks, ie: Angular (not a fan, haha!), React (love it!).

We did spend time on data structures and algorithms. For me this was the most challenging aspect and feel it would use a bit more fine tuning and thought into how best to learn these concepts. The only other draw back was that if at any time you have to pause the program and join up with a later cohort, you lose access to the learning platform and are cut off from communication from other students. Also, once you graduate, you lose access to the learning platform as well and all github repos from the lessons are pulled. I have never taken a program where this was the case. Typically you have life time access to these kinds of assets but they guard them closely. However they do say to make copies of what you want for notes so it's not the end of the world.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. It's quite a bit less expensive than something like App Academy and in my opinion, at a higher level.

I recently completed the Software Engineering course at Codeworks, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, the course was structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of software development principles and practices.... Read More

The curriculum is well-designed and up-to-date, covering essential topics such as algorithms, data structures, and modern web development technologies. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and always willing to provide guidance and support. Their real-world experience and practical insights made complex concepts much easier to understand.

The hands-on approach of the course is what I found most valuable. We worked on real projects that simulated actual work environments, which prepared me for my upcoming role as a junior developer. The peer programming sessions and weekly meetings fostered a collaborative learning atmosphere that was both motivating and educational.

I also appreciated the focus on personal and professional growth. The career services offered by Codeworks, including resume reviews and mock interviews, were instrumental in helping me secure a job. I’m thrilled to be starting a new position as a junior PHP developer working with artificial intelligence.

Overall, I highly recommend Codeworks to anyone looking to break into the tech industry or enhance their existing skills. The experience, knowledge, and confidence I gained were truly invaluable.

Thank you, Codeworks, for an outstanding journey into the world of software engineering!
