My time at Coding Dojo was definitely incredible. A perfect mix of intense fast-paced learning and fun times with friends I made at my time there. The Dojo as we like to call it provides a great learning environment where the several hours one puts in barely feels stressful. You should do the bootcamp if you're desperate to learn a lot in 4 months and ready to sacrifice a lot on the way, paving a more knowledgeable future where everyone codes!!
I went from knowing nothing to being ready to look for a job in three months. While there are many free resources to learn online, there are so many important concepts that would have taken me so much longer to learn about on my own. This has been a wonderful experience for me
Coding Dojo is good for someone who is looking to get into web development. If that isn't your explicit desire, I'd suggest shopping around some more.
I was a contractor working as a tier 1 build engineer for a popular software company in Redmond, WA (You get 3 guesses and the first two don't count). The contract company I was working for paid poorly compared to other companies in the area and I was looking for a way out. I wanted to delve deeper into programming, so I ...

I was a contractor working as a tier 1 build engineer for a popular software company in Redmond, WA (You get 3 guesses and the first two don't count). The contract company I was working for paid poorly compared to other companies in the area and I was looking for a way out. I wanted to delve deeper into programming, so I joined this program.
I took their online program and had mixed feelings. They have the start of something great, but it needs work in a few areas.
The good: The content was extremely good and I felt it did a great job teaching. I walked away from this program a much better coder and am happy I took it. I just recently picked up a new job working for a different software company in Seattle (not as a contractor), and they put me through an extensive whiteboarding interview. I don't believe I would have passed it if I hadn't taken this program. Additionally, I have a general IT degree that wasn't in software development. The people interviewing me asked about this program and I can thank Coding Dojo for getting me this job.
The bad: I had 3 instructors over 5 months and I would say 2/3 were amazing. The other was extremely non-responsive. I even went above his head and spoke to someone I'm pretty sure was his manager and expressed my concern, but I still didn't get much else from this instructor. Additionally, the main selling point of this program to me was the job assistance after graduating. They lost their main lady who handled online students shortly after I graduated and I never felt like I got much help after. They did have someone help me with a resume, and when sought help they were responsive. However, I was receiving job notifications for new jobs very sparsely and eventually it stopped all together. I also took their C# path instead of MEAN and left the program feeling inadequately prepared to handle JavaScript (pretty important for web development).
Some work needs to be done, but the curriculum is great. I hope the program continues to improve.
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 loved my time at the coding dojo. I learned how to learn which is the most valuable of all the skills I learned. I now have motivation and determination to learn other programming languages. There seems to be no obstacle that I cannot get over. I am looking forward to continuing my journey as a coder and learning many more technologies in the future. Now we are all equipped to take on any challenge and conquer and learn by struggling. Thanks coding dojo for the great time and the s...
I loved my time at the coding dojo. I learned how to learn which is the most valuable of all the skills I learned. I now have motivation and determination to learn other programming languages. There seems to be no obstacle that I cannot get over. I am looking forward to continuing my journey as a coder and learning many more technologies in the future. Now we are all equipped to take on any challenge and conquer and learn by struggling. Thanks coding dojo for the great time and the skill-set to go to the next level of my career, life, and journey. I believe that the program will only get better as the years go by and more tremendous coders join the field. Despite the challenges and the tough moments or moments of discouragement I was trained to handle them and learn to put my skills to work and problem solving skills to work. Now when challenges arise they can be tackled and taken on without looking back and without thinking failure is final. When things don't work there is always a solution that is waiting to be found.
- Intense program. You learn 3 stack. Get to know a lot. Each language is about a month.
- Good algorithm. A new learning platform which still needs to be improved, which is what they are doing I think.
- TA, remote help at night. During the day they have "20-minute" rule. You need to try find the answers yourself before reaching out to other students, then come to instructor as a group for help.

- They have residency program. You can apply and stay after graduation to finish portfolio, and look for jobs.
- Career service has been improved a lot. Different workshops, emailed job opportunity, resume session, etc.
- Tech talk, alumni panel, etc. Encouraging.
- They want students to be self sufficient developer. If you want to succeed, you need to have passion, and work hard. If you do not have a good discipline, do not work hard, and only think that by showing up you can get a good job easily, you are wrong. You will fail behind.
- Do their prep work and learn alogorithms before showing up onsite!!
I hope this is objective enough.
I'll cut to the chase. Within one week after graduating from CodingDojo's bootcamp program, I got hired on as a full-stack developer. I'd say 90% of my success is due to knowledge I gained at Coding Dojo.

Presenting yourself as a capable web developer is all that it takes to really find a good job in this industry. Right now, the demand for competent developers is so high that recruiters and hiring managers are actively reaching out to potential candidates. Don't worry about the hiring network. Coding Dojo will help you ramp up your resume and visibility that you'll be getting about 6 calls/emails a day from recruiters and hiring managers.
The biggest criticism I find about Coding Dojo's program is how self-paced it is. Coding Dojo provides the necessary tools you need to give you the right direction. They're not here to hold your hand throughout the process. If you really want to become an awesome developer, you have to have the drive within you. The process of learning something like programming can be so hard that it'll drive you crazy. But those that succeed are the ones that are able to make it past those obstacles.
I blogged every day of my bootcamp here:

Feel free to leave me a comment on my blog if you have any questions.
I have recently graduated from CodingDojo a few weeks ago. It has been one of the toughest and most rewarding educational experiences of my life.
I came in with no previous coding knowledge. I would say that it is not for everyone. A person has to be prepared to work and come to class with a sense of humility and a positive attitude.
I have recently graduated from CodingDojo a few weeks ago. It has been one of the toughest and most rewarding educational experiences of my life.
I came in with no previous coding knowledge. I would say that it is not for everyone. A person has to be prepared to work and come to class with a sense of humility and a positive attitude. The instructors have a deep understanding of not just the material taught at the dojo but of what it takes to build a successful team. You are not only given a relevant education to what is being used in the market place but you are also prepared for what you will need to know after the boot camp to get a job.
Yes there is no guarantee of a job but there is no guarantee of anything in life. The instructors have been there for me after the boot camp to continue to prep me for a job and continue my education.
I would recommend this for anyone who has an interest in programming, doesn't mind working long strenuous hours, and enjoys a challenge.
I'm not a fanboy, but attending Coding Dojo was one of the best educational moves I've ever made.
A few points of countering :
- The instructors are (currently) picked from the best of the previous class. This A) helps keep costs down and B) Helps to grow the course quickly. The instructors, by the way, are not noobs. They were individuals that have exceptional talent and even though they teach full...
I'm not a fanboy, but attending Coding Dojo was one of the best educational moves I've ever made.
A few points of countering :
- The instructors are (currently) picked from the best of the previous class. This A) helps keep costs down and B) Helps to grow the course quickly. The instructors, by the way, are not noobs. They were individuals that have exceptional talent and even though they teach full time they are expected to continue learning advanced material and work on the infrastructure. They are juniors, but they are full blown developers.
- The reason the founder wasnt involved was because he was in Seattle setting up the second branch.
- The student to teacher ratio was only 12.5:1? Have you been in a public school? Sorry, unless you hire a private tutor you will not get better than that. Not even at some of the more established bootcamps.
- As far as paying for the course: They ask for a 2k non refundable deposit. On the first day of class you pay for the first half of the course. If you drop out or puss out, they refund it to you if you quit at a reasonable time. Half way through the course you pay the second half. Thats fair.
- Job placement: I got a job in about a month and a half after graduating. There were a good handful that had jobs immediately after graduating. Others took a while. On average, it takes about three months. The key is that YOU have to get out there and FIND A JOB! They (nor anyone for that matter) hands you a job on a silver platter. They are new and are still building their reputation and rapport. It takes time. Sorry if they didnt do all of your work for you.
While my time at CD was extremely challenging, it was also extremely rewarding. It's true what they say, you get what you put in. Me and my close friends at the Dojo spent 10-12 hours a day in the lab, we were genuinely passionate about what we were learning, and now we're all in better places in our life. One thing I would say, don't do it for the hope of attractive salaries, focus on developing yourself and learning as much as you can, because this field of work is already a truly reward...
