Coding Dojo

I thoroughly enjoyed my time while at Coding Dojo. I moved up to Tulsa from Austin, and was looking into bootcamps there, but thought the curriculum was actually better here at the Dojo. The fact that you covered three whole stacks in the three months is well worth any of the depth lost in a bootcamp that only covered one stack. In reality over three months you just want to be prepared for a job, and most likely will have to learn more languages/frameworks whenever you find that job anyways, so having a wide breadth of information and coding languages to pull on makes learning that next language even easier.

Past that, the instructors and community around the dojo were superb. Often alumni would come in to play a board game, help with projects, or just do some work from the office. T...

I came to Coding Dojo with a background in Business Economics and no programming experience. Joining Coding Dojo was one of the toughest, yet most rewarding experiences I’ve been through. I’ve learned so much since Day 1 and the learning doesn’t stop. If you put the time in it and challenge yourself, you will succeed.

How did I decide on Coding Dojo? After exploring a few different Open Houses, I felt like the instructors and staff here genuinely cared for their students. Throughout the program, they made learning programming fun and challenged you to think differently when it came to solving problems. Another reason why I joined Coding Dojo was because they taught 3 full stacks (Python, Java and MEAN). This allowed me to be well-rounded on a few languages and helped me decide...

I needed guidance and a good working environment, and that's exactly what I got as a student at Coding Dojo. It's not an easy program, but they're very up-front about how much time you need to put in. The results are mixed, depending on how much work each student puts in, and their amount of previous experience. That is not to say previous experience is required, but it definitely helps make the experience easier. You'll never be the slowest or the fastest student in your cohort. There's little hand-holding (relatively little involvement by instructors unless you seek them out), but there are always classmates willing to help you out.

I personally did two months of free online coding self-study before the bootcamp, and while I was happy I did, that self-study barely scratched the sur...

Coding Dojo gave me direction when I was absolutely lost. It sounds melodramatic but it really is true. I've always struggled with academics. Reading massive textbooks, writing up essay after essay, or finding focus for busy work has never been my strong suit. It's just not how I learn. So after graduating high school and trying to force college to work for me for about a year, I finally realized I needed to look elsewhere. And I'm really glad Coding Dojo is where I ultimately decided to go. The work is hands-on and no-nonsense.

This bootcamp is fast paced but with all the support from your fellow cohort-mates, instructors, and TAs, It's very doable if you have the drive. Their online learning platform makes for a very good reference but in my opinion the real magic happens with thei...

I came into Coding Dojo with zero knowledge of coding other than the pre-bootcamp prep course that I did. Overall the experience was very challenging and rewarding.

As you can find on their website, the bootcamp is structured for 14 weeks with 2 weeks spent on web fundamentals and 1 month spent on the 3 stacks: Python, MEAN, and C#. The web fundamentals was a very good beginning as the pace wasn't too fast and it introduces you to the fundamentals of HTMl, CSS, and JavaScript. Before going in depth to the different stacks, I'll first talk about the instructors. All the instructors for each stack have been excellent. I personally had Noelle, Navya, and Prescott teach my cohort. All of the instructors are invested in the students and want to make sure that every one is able to succeed...

Coding Dojo has been an awesome experience overall. The workload is challenging at first, but if you keep putting in the time and work, you will eventually get out what you want in the end. The faculty here are really nice and caring, and the courses are set up to push you to succeed. The students here are very serious about their work, and I have had the pleasure of collaborating with them. Definitely got a lot out of all of this, and I am grateful for having been here!

I came to the states five years ago as a refugee from Burundi, my goal was to go to school and start a career however it was hard to find the right program that was also affordable. In December of 2018 thats when I first found out about the Coding Dojo of Boise through the meet up website/app, where they were offering free lessons. After I attended the lessons I found out you can become a three full stack developer in 14 Weeks. I was amazed as that is hard to find anywhere else plus the information was very intriguing. In January of 2019 I officially started the program and graduated the end of April 2019.

In the beginning of the program I was nervous because I had zero experience with working on computers like typing but the instructors were very professional, friendly, and encour...

Came away with what I thought I would get, knowledge of how to develop websites with three stacks.

I came to the bootcamp with a little bit of coding experience, that I got from online courses. I recommend that to anybody who's going to attend any coding bootcamp.

Time in Dojo was truly amazing. Super professional instructors with experience working in big companies such as Amazon. Awesome peers from different countries and backgrounds. Information is very well structured in the curriculum, so it's easy to pick up new stuff even for non-native English speakers as myself. The only thing I didn't like is how MEAN stack was presented on the platform, but instructors helped to fill all the gaps and even more.

Another thing which is super cool about Coding Dojo is that how they teach algorithms and data structures. Every morning you solve different problems and learn new data stru...

I had an amazing time at Coding Dojo, the teachers are very friendly and engaging and my cohort was an amazing great group of people with amazing energy and chemistry who helped each other out a lot. For those looking for a coding boot camp take a serious look and consideration at Coding Dojo. The teachers are amazing and they really know their stuff, and there is an amazing team at the Dojo that is willing to help you succeed. I would though recommend taking some coding classes before hand and some computer science and algorithms. I came into the Dojo with ZERO knowledge of coding/computer science and algorithms and I had very very hard time. I had to ask for help ALOT. This is a very tough and grueling curriculum that’s why it’s called a boot camp but it worth it if you apply yourself...

I was the marketing director of a software company, when they decided to close the company doors. I went back on the job hunt but in the back of my mind I always thought, I could be a developer. I decided to pursue that option and was left with the choice of going back to college to get my CS degree, or I had heard of the Coding Dojo in Tulsa. I finally decided I would move to Tulsa from Oklahoma City for 3 months and fully commit to the program. I graduated from the program at the end of April 2019 and am now employed as a full stack developer.

As far as the program goes......it is tough. I would not recommend the program to someone who is not 100% committed to learning, or just wanting to dabble in the coding world. It takes a lot of discipline and dedication. A normal day, you wi...

I'm a stay-at-home mom with two girls.Of course, I used to work in the software development industry.Before 2012, I was engaged in software development and software testing for several years.For family reasons, I retired from the workforce to take care of my children for six years.Now, I hope to return to the software development industry and start looking for job opportunities.At first, it was confusing and directionless.Six years left me completely ignorant of the current technology.And six years of being completely out of technical work has made code feel very alien to me.So I decided to choose a bootcamp to refresh my technology.After some searching and comparison, I finally chose codingdojo.I'm glad it's the right decision.CodingDojo completely refreshed my technical field with 14 ...

My education background is Finance and I have 2.5 years working experience in the finance industry. What made me decided to do career change is that I move to a new city where IT is the main industry. The main reason that I decided to join Coding Dojo is that it offers 3 full-stack tutorials in only 3 and a half months. Compared to other boot camps, Coding Dojo has a higher reputation. During the courses, instructors were patient and willing to help u solve any tricky problem you met. Also, they taught algorithms every day which is a great help for doing job search after graduation.

Pros:
- Learn 3 full stacks
- Very challenging (I had very little software experience aside from running data through R during undergrad)
- Career Services sends students and grads several job leads, which personally resulted in some interviews
- Instructors are great!
- Weekly Sports Day, where students and staff are encouraged to be active, play team sports, yoga, or just get away from your computers for a while
- The curriculum is agile and teaches relevant technology. The 3 stacks may vary depending on location and local tech trends
- Felt completely lost and buried under material at times. Yup, this is actually a good thing

Cons:
- Little time for family and friends during program
- All the money I spent on espresso, despite having my own milk in the fridge to keep me...

What attracted me the most to Coding Dojo was its curriculum. They taught three full stacks focused on web development in Python, Java and the MEAN framework. Being exposed to all three languages helped me build a solid foundation on a wide array of languages and decide on which language I wanted to further excel in.

Along with that, learning a full-stack helped me decide if I preferred front-end, back-end, or full stack development.

These factors along with culture fit with the instructors and the campus were strong factors in my decision to attend Coding Dojo.

Most importantly, having this solid foundation widened my approach when it came to applying for jobs. I cannot imagine being able to have applied and interview for the number of jobs I completed without the knowledge ...

I completed Coding Dojo's full-stack onsite web development program at the end of April. Here are the top five things I enjoyed most about the program and why you might consider joining:

1) The program encourages for you to research effectively and to work with others. I learned the most when I was working with another person.

2) Learning three different stacks. You see how websites can be built from three different stacks. This made me appreciate the number of ways a problem can be solved with technology. There is no one way to do things. Also, the pace at which you learn prepares you for the changing job market. Software / web development is constantly pivoting to new languages, so the concepts learned at Coding Dojo prepares you to ever-ready.

3) Coding Dojo's "l...

This program really pushes you across three stacks, which can be a pro and con. The pro is if you are able to keep up with the cirriculum, you get a very solid general understanding of web development, and are able to quickly pick up new languages and work across frameworks nimbly. The con is that they really ask a lot of you in terms of being able to solve problems and manage your time well. Overall, I'd say a graduate from this program has all the tools they need to move forward in the industry.

As a person who didn't have any coding experience before went to Coding Dojo, I did have a suffering but good time there. It may be struggle during the studying period, but overall everything worth it. As my own experience, the more people get together to study, the more you will get. Except the coding, I also know a lot of new friends there. People are passionate, friendly. We encouraged each other to carry on when we felt depressed. Our batch was like a big family, these people are awesome. And thanks to Coding Dojo gave us this platform to have this chance to study together and know each other.

I've had several years of coding background, but I decided to come to Coding Dojo do learn more about web development and modern frameworks.

The 3.5 months I stayed here was personally excellent! One thing that stood out to me the most were the instructors. Due to my coding background, I had a lot of specific questions that were sometimes unrelated to the assignments, but they never failed to deliver. They were not just teachers who knew the materials they had to teach, they were actual programmers.

I think that coding bootcamps are what you make out of them. I came to the school with the dedication that I will only focus on learning and studying, and I was constantly with the instructors asking them any questions that came my way, and for that I believe I got much more than I p...

I got laid off from my job and started to apply for positions shortly after. I noticed that a lot of the job posting asked for some sort of programming experience which I did not have. I decided to attend coding dojo and it was the best decision I could have made.
I learned three stacks, python, java and mean along with other technologies like amazon web services and MySQL workbench. The staff is great and always willing to help when you need it. The job assistance was great and because of it I was able to land a job a month after graduation.
I would totally recommend coding dojo to anyone who wants to learn coding.
