Great for programmers looking to learn how to code ASAP BUT
Not great for non-programmers and/or those with very little coding knowledge/experience. There are articles that back up my claim-Michael Choi the founder said he created Coding Dojo after training programmers how to code and there is another article by CEO Richard Wang where he says Coding Dojo was never meant to be a school. warning: There are no guarantees at CD and they will not refund your money after the first week of the session. If you still want to learn how to code as a beginner/novice I recommend taking one coding language like javascript before learning an entire stack or three stacks and checking out books about coding at your locallibrary, websites that offer coding lessons for free or for a fee. Other sobering facts - check out some web/mobile app companies online and you will see they outsource their work to offices overseas and there is a Bloombry article y Sarah McBride titled Want A Job in Silicon Valley? Stay Away From Coding Schools where recruiters/spokespersons for various tech companies do not consider coding school/bootcamp graduates because Bay Area is competitive and attracts enough engineers, CS majors that it doesn't have to recruit outside of those college grads. Unless Coding Dojo and other similar bootcamps change then they will end up like ITT.
Coding Dojo makes a lot of bold claims on their website. They say they can teach you to code in just 12 weeks. If you are new to this field or are doing a career shift, you will be confused and left behind. I've lost all of my savings, time, and now I don't know how to code. This is how they got me:
Coding Dojo is a Coding Boot Camp that provides a 12 week immersive training environment for developers in Silicon Valley, CA and Seattle, WA. At Coding Dojo, students quickly learn to code and think like software engineers and develop web applications as an end result
It is a complete lie. This is their way of making quick money. As a result of thier lies, their attendance has been dwindling. Coding Dojo is run by one man and all othe teachers are previous students who know very little about software development.
In an average day, the main instructor comes in and gives 30 minutes to an hour a lecture about some topic that at times makes no sense at all. He uses no reference at all. Sometimes, you are forced to lookup things in wikipedia while he is literally blabbering about somethinc which he has no knoweldge at all. Sometimes students will correct him.
In some instance, he claims that he is going to teach algorithms, yet, he clearly does not know what or how to teach this important part of the computer science.
After the terrible lecture, the students get on the platform to work through the projects. The platform is the worse part of the whole bootcamp experience. It is basically made of short outdated tutorials which are copied and pasted from other sites. The tutorials written by the main instructors are terrible as they are full of grammatical mistakes. English is his second language.

Coding Dojo is a fraud.
