    Waste of money

    Codify provides students with in insufficient material to completely prepare students for a full time developer role. The curriculum never touches on data structures or any algorithms which many junior developer roles require knowledge of and test during technical interviews. The weekly projects given are also too simple and aren't great projects to add to an online portfolio to impress recruiters. Many of the mentors/TA's there have little to no experience as a full time developer. ...

    Just What I needed

    Before I took this course, I tried to learn how to code on my own. I spent about 6 months working through online resources and books, but lacked the core fundamentals I needed to get hired. 

    So what do they provide if all the info is either in books or online? Guidance. 

    Their mentors guided me and my classmates the entire way, starting from the basics all the way to advanced JavaScript and AngularJS.

    This course took me from 10 - 60 in 16 weeks and helped me ...

    $5000 for bad resources

    I chose this school because I found it on facebook, attracting me into their "course" the first week it was cool.

    After the 2-4 week I noticed I am learning through "codecademy.com" it is a free resource..

    Codify Academy is a course where they teach online materials that are from free open sourced.

    So what im trying to say is.. whatever you find online that is free... Codify Academy will "teach those free courses to you".

    Lacking in all areas

    The overall experience was good and thats just because it got me aquainted with the tech environment. However, there are more negatives than positives about this course. The instructor is a great guy and easy to talk to. In fact I only give him two stars because he really didn't help me as much as the course had promised (24/7 mentor - one on one). 

    A regular day on site was as follows: (Once a week for 3 hours)

    - Show up to a meeting room with couple other stu...

    Be aware

    Codify Academy is obviously a business; a business that would suffer if it didn't live up to its claims.

    Be aware of the fact that most reviews here might be written by the same people who stand to lose if business falls.

    For those who have the disposable income to pay for CodifyAcademy, go for it.

    For those who are seeking a way out of the hamster-wheel of low-wage jobs, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, go to the library, find some books on programming, o...
