| | Chris | My time at Coding House has been probably the single greatest investment in my career I’ve ever made. I’ve learned more relevant and functional knowledge in a nine week program and 8 weeks as a Resident than I could have learned in a year of moderately devoted self-education. This is not to say there weren’t any difficult times or seemingly insurmountable challenges during that time, quite the contrary, in fact. Daily, I was bombarded with new information at a rate, that at times, was impossible to keep up with. I came in with very minimal programming experience, and as such, my first three weeks were extremely difficult. To that end, I would say, if you choose any coding bootcamp to attend, do yourself a favor and learn as much as you possibly can before starting.
The curriculum for my program covered a modified MEAN stack, including MongoDB, Angular JS, Node JS, with Hapi JS instead of Express, also covered were jQuery and Firebase. These technologies are mostly in high demand, and because of the curriculum, my education and determination, I received two job offers within six weeks of my cohort’s completion.
The flaws of Coding House are few in number, and most of these flaws are quickly addressed by the staff or residents when they are discussed.
If you are considering attending a coding bootcamp and are even a little lazy or unmotivated, have a bad attitude, or tend to get discouraged easily when the going gets tough, I don’t know that I would recommend any coding bootcamp, let alone this one. However, if you want to be in an environment that is extremely challenging, supportive, and to have the opportunity to learn relevant technologies that will earn you a well-paying and exciting job, then Coding House is a great choice. |
