Anonymous Pros: Great teacher who always knew how to fix a problem. Mob programming was helpful in getting the most out of learning. Cons: The pre course work assigned did not get me prepared enough for the things we would be focusing on in class. It was a lot of basic tutorials on code academy or videos on Udemy, but then the majority of the class was spent doing React, Mongo, Express. It would be helpful to have more relevant pre-course work. While it's advertised that you don't need previous coding experience you really do. Since it's a small class (mine had 8), the experience is largely based on the other people in the class and the people who work in your group.
Austin Horner I was part of the 3 Cohort during the summer. I didn't know exactly what to expect when I started. I was told it would be tough and difficult, but rewarding. After making it through that was 100% correct. I learned so much in such a short amount of time, and probably learned more then I did during my time at college. I learned to make a full stack app, the process of development and how to interact with my fellow co-workers. The wide range of content covered help prepare me in ways I didn't know I needed to be prepared. As the cohorts time drew close to an end I had a great amount of help find work that I would enjoy. I will always recommend the MTCS to anyone interested in the field. It's a great experience that does wonders for you confidence and abilities.
Anonymous Code school is a great way to jump start a new career, maybe even get a job, in just 3 months (or longer for part-time). It's encouraging to make the journey alongside others in the same boat as you. Having a professional available to guide you through the curriculum is invaluable. You only get out of it what you put in—work hard, study hard, and repeat, and it will pay off. The onus is on you to further educate yourself and make yourself marketable as a developer. Code school is a stepping stone. For me, it was the best choice I could have made; some may find it isn't for them. I recommend taking advantage of some free learning sources like CodeAcademy first (it's part of the curriculum anyway) to help you decide if it's something you really want to pursue and then enroll confident in your choice to get the most out of it.
