Coding Temple

Before Coding Temple I was an Applications Systems Analyst, I had 1-2 years experiences in occasional coding and wanted to learn about Data Science and learn to code in Python at Coding Temple because of its structured curriculum and hands on coding. Now I work as Associate Software Engineer and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Coding Temple if you want to learn computer programming.

I picked a the wrong sector right out of college and wanted to make a change before I got to far in to a career and had a friend who went to Coding Temple. I talked with him a few times and decided that I'd make the jump to this.
Experience Pre-Coding Temple:
Took a short Javascript class in college to learn loops but nothing substantive and took R/Python courses online but nothing that I could use to connect the dots to actually land a job.
Curriculum at Coding Temple:
After completing the prework in the two weeks prior to the course, it picked up quickly right when we started. We had a small cohort of 3 students so we were able to move quickly through topics we understood and take it slow when one or more of had questions. The syllabus was helpful to follow along with the class...

I came into to this class with just basic knowledge of Python/Data Science, but after the 10 weeks were up I felt extremely comfortable and knowledgeable on the subject matter. This class is great for all levels of expertise, because Coding Temple does a great job in providing you with the right tools to fully learn the topic. The course can move quickly but the instructor does a great in providing clear and concise teaching methods to develop an expertise level. Not only are the tools and resources great, but the fun and interactive learning environment was definitely a plus.

With the help of Coding Temple, I was able to land a job that utilizes everything I learned in the boot camp. I am very satisfied with not only the the 10 week course, but all the resources Coding Temple provi...

Coding Temple is worth the time and money. Already working in a "technical" field, my learnings at Coding Temple were applied almost immediately.

For someone like me, who likes to have a little extra practice and one-on-one interactions with my instructor, Coding Temple makes this possible. The instructors were always available, which really helped to fine-tune the skills i was learning. I'm extremely happy with my decision. If you're thinking about it. ...go for it!

I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Coding Temple! I graduated with a background in communications, and really wasn't happy career-wise. I felt very stuck professionally and monetarily, and knew i wanted to advance in my career, but didn't know what to do. My only regret is not enrolling at Coding Temple sooner. I'm so pleased with my choice, and coding temple was instrumental in helping me find a new job post graduation!

I attended the Python program at Coding Temple Boston in the fall semester. The pace of the class was definitely rigorous, but the instructor was excellent and cared a lot about ensuring that we followed the material. He was often available after class for extra help and always available by email. This dedication by the professor made the fast pace manageable.

The course was a good split of javascript and python, with some SQL and data science at the end. Now that I am in the interview process, I feel like I was well prepared for an entry level position.

Definitely recommend this program!

I went into Coding Temple with no computer science or programming background, besides some research and part of an online class that went over some basic Python concepts. I'll admit, the first couple weeks were definitely eye-opening and difficult, but it is so worth it to stick with it! The instructor was patient and always willing to help and break things down when I was confused. The class moves quickly, so you definitely need to be prepared for that. Just when you are starting to understand one concept, the next one begins. It isn't a bad thing, but because the pace is so quick, it is useful to review the older topics (when you can) as you are learning the new ones.

I was worried about being able to find a job after the bootcamp when my background wasn't in tech, but I was just ...

My experience at Coding Temple was sublime. The quality, dedication, and commitment to student success that is central to the culture at Coding Temple is pervasive throughout every individual associated with the organization. It is immediately apparent that the growth of students, both personally and professionally, is the impetus behind every action of the Coding Temple staff.

Curriculum is fast-paced, but also uniquely tailored to individual student interests and career aspirations. Instructors are attentive, responsive, and constantly available to provide guidance through difficult course material. Yes, coding boot camp can be tough, requiring long hours both in and out of the classroom. However, the resultant development of immediately marketable and employable skills is directly...

Fair warning: this is not your typical review. Plenty of other reviewers have done the heavy lifting already. Definitely check them out. This is mostly for your reading pleasure -- but if it helps you off the fence either way, then my job is done. Take it as you will, but know that it comes from the heart. Should you lose track, please refresh the page.

Let's assume you're a little bit lost in the weeds right now, restless and dizzy with thoughts in your head. You stumble around for a while, unawares. You try listening to the Search Engine, but each new query leaves you more and more disoriented. Eventually, you come upon this review. You inspect the text up close and are suddenly startled when it whispers back, "Coding Temple." You turn away with some difficulty, feeling the whispe...

I took the .NET/C# 10 week course at Coding Temple and it was worth every penny! I had zero experience in coding before deciding to step into this industry. I was fresh out of college with a degree that I was not sure I wanted to make a career out of so after lots of research I came across Software Development. I was referred to Coding Temple by a friend and it seemed like the best option compared to any other bootcamps relative to price, class size, and their raving reviews.

Attending this bootcamp will take a lot of dedication and you need to be ready to work! For me, it required quitting my job and putting my 100% into the course even before it started. It is so important to do the pre-work assigned prior to class and to fully understand it as well. It will go such a long way thro...

This is not a place for excuses. This is not a place for cruise control. This is a place where people take control of their lives.

If that sounds silly to you, then Coding Temple is not the place for you. It requires commitment, humility, and tremendous effort. The course is as easy or as difficulty as you make it, but only those who choose the difficult route will succeed.

You're offered a great curriculum that covers the bleeding edge of in-demand programming, but nothing is required for you to learn. You've got talented educators who will answer your questions and will push you toward empowerment, but they're only as valuable as you make them. You're given post-course direction on job searches, but it's only valuable if you take it.

Without embellishment, this course change...

I recently attended Coding Temple and took part in the .NET cohort. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I knew very little coding going into the bootcamp and learned even more than I had anticipated. The .NET cohort covers a great range of technical skills necessary for success as a Software Developer. I now have a job working with SQL, C#, and other skills I learned while I was a student. The class size was one of the deciding factors for me in choosing Coding Temple. The small class size helped with problem solving and if one of us was struggling, anyone was willing to help them. While I greatly enjoyed my time at Coding Temple, it was not without its challenges. It required dedication outside of class hours and active participation while I was in...

A friend of mine told me about his experience at Coding Temple, which caught my attention. I attended the open house at Coding Temple, where the staff set down and explained the program in detail to me. Along with letting me sit in a live class session. After spending 10-weeks in the .NET program, I can not say anything but great things about Coding Temple and the instructor Joe! One thing I would suggest to all students taking the course, do the pre-work they assign. It is critical to have that completed. The students that did not put in all of the time in the pre-work struggled in my class.

I started the coding temple this past summer in the Python/Data Science full 10 week course. Prior to this I had no coding experience whatsoever, knew very little about anything to do with software development, and really could not tell you the difference between a mac and a windows. I started the class with Derek Hawkins as our instructor and he made it very easy to navigate through the course and learn the basics without getting overwhelmed. From then we delved into various harder concepts as we almost covered a language a week. This is where it is up to the student to decide how much he or she wants to get from the class as I truly believe if you put in the work you will be rewarded. If you try to take shortcuts and not complete the material and work on the projects on your own time ...

The story with programming is simple: you get out what you put in (much like anything else, but it's important to keep this in mind).

The instructors make sure to provide you with all of the resources you need to succeed. But that doesn't mean all of your questions will be answered. You'll need to struggle with the material, both inside and outside of class. As long as you put your best foot forward, you will be on the path to success. The material is thrown at you very fast, but that's to be expected. You are covering tons of material in a short time span. The instructors are there to answer any tough questions and offer extended help when needed. I would recommend this course for those serious about taking the next step in developing their skill set in software development.

I knew that in order to advance my career I needed to add data science to my skillset to make myself more marketable and valuable . After spending 10 weeks at Coding Temple, I could not be more than happy with my decision. Although temporarily leaving my job to advance my career was difficult, it was well worth it. About 5 weeks after graduation I was able to get a new higher paying job that essentially would pay my investment in Coding Temple in 6 months.

Ripal was extremely helpful in getting my foot in the door with a few different companies that looked suitable for me. Just having that piece of mind that someone is working to do everything they can to help you land your next job is worth it.

This curriculum moves very fast and at times it's very frustrating when you are stu...

I took a one day course at the coding temple over tableau. I had little to no experience with tableau, making me question if I would be able to keep up in the class. This was not the case. The instructor was very good at explaining any questions and would make sure the class was on the same page before moving on. The instructor would also go into detail on how you could apply these concepts in the workforce such as finding financial data. The class had a very interactive feel due to its size, almost like a one on one training session. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience at the coding temple. I was amazed at how comfortable I was with tableau after just a one day course. I would absolutely recommend their courses to anyone looking for a hands-on learning experience with a very...

I came into the .NET program with some freelancing experience in another language and a lot of self-education, and there were still times where I felt overwhelmed. It is a lot to take in and apply, but if you put in work, you'll get the results as I did a month after graduating.

Pros - Small class size means a good learning environment. An instructor that has many years of industry experience instead of TAs that are recent grads like at other bootcamps.
Cons - It would've been nice to have more time for projects instead of working on what to me was review of basic web development concepts.

I was always interested in learning how to code and being a developer, but thought I had missed the boat because I didn't study it in school. Then I found Coding Temple and was so excited to have the opportunity to learn how to be a software developer in just 10 weeks! It was scary quitting my job, but the bootcamp was more than worth it. I learned so much in the bootcamp and am thankful for the experience.

One thing I liked about Coding Temple more than other bootcamps is that it focuses on small class sizes. This was crucial for me because I didn't have much coding experience and I was worried about being left behind. My instructor Derek was a great teacher, answered all my questions, and made sure I really understood what we were doing. We worked on a lot of projects using the to...

I came into Coding Temple with virtually no coding experience. By the end of the 11 week program I found myself thoroughly understanding the way many languages work, and I had the knowledge to enter interviews with confidence. The portfolio you build is sure to impress many prospective employers. I was able to land a job in downtown Chicago a little over a month after completing the program.

Keep in mind, this place doesn't work miracles. You should be curious and dedicated - put in your share of effort and you'll be just fine. The small class size provides an excellent opportunity to ask questions and learn as much as possible. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable.
