I was fortunate enough to be part of Wyncode’s first cohort, from May to July 2014.
I had virtually zero experience coding before I joined (I had just a base knowledge of HTML and CSS) but I knew that rather than spending 6 months struggling to learn by myself, I’d advance much faster learning from experts.

I was fortunate enough to be part of Wyncode’s first cohort, from May to July 2014.
I had virtually zero experience coding before I joined (I had just a base knowledge of HTML and CSS) but I knew that rather than spending 6 months struggling to learn by myself, I’d advance much faster learning from experts.
Wyncode’s program is absolutely authentic in the value it delivers to its students, and I personally attribute this to its team. Head instructor Ed Toro is extremely knowledgeable with years of experience in the tech field. But more importantly, he’s able to relay complex information patiently and logically to students. In my opinion, his teaching style was essential to this program. Learning from an expert that enjoys the teaching process is a completely different experience than reading from a textbook or taking an online course. The access to that level of expertise is what I was looking for coming into Wyncode, and Mr. Toro definitely delivered.
The supporting staff is made up of Teaching Assistants that specialize in different areas – front end development, supporting languages (JavaScript, JQuery), etc. Their contribution is just as essential, because although Ed Toro is giving the lessons each day, your learning truly happens after the lesson, when you're working on assignments and thinking through problems.
This part of the program might be very frustrating to some students if they were to work on their own – but the Teaching Assistant staff was there every night to support and offer guidance. This level of commitment to your learning is unseen in any other environment – even at the university level, it's hard to have a full day devoted to you the way Wyncode has organized it.
The final piece that really differentiates Wyncode from anything else are the founders Johanna and Juha. They bring an energy and passion to their program that sets the tone for the rest of the organization, including the students. Their vision of the program isn't just to create a coding school – it's to build well-rounded tech professionals. In my opinion, they are succeeding at this better than most universities.
The reason why I think this is because they offer something that often gets lost in a large university environment. They offer a personalized experience. Johanna and Juha are there every day, receiving feedback from both students and teaching staff. They are constantly gauging everyone's progress to make sure no one falls behind on the course content. But more importantly, they offer mentorship where most tech professionals need it the most – in social settings like interviews with employers. Johanna and Juha have years of experience in all types of professional situations, and they freely share that knowledge with their students.
I was personally involved in several interviews with employers during the cohort, and for each meeting I prepped with Johanna and Juha. They offered guidance on how to build the employer-applicant relationship, what strengths I should promote, what weaknesses I could improve on. They networked alongside us, attending events where they could introduce us to tech professionals. I met my current employer at an event that Johanna and Juha found and attended with me.
The overall theme to Wyncode is a dynamic, well-rounded team offering you a personalized experience from start to finish. For me, that finish was landing full-time employment as a Rails developer. Wyncode's team guided me from learning the material, using it to build apps, showcasing those apps in my portfolio, and using that portfolio as an asset during networking events with employers. As straightforward as it sounds, that path takes a lot of work, and that's where the tone, energy, and motivation of the team is crucial.
Two weeks after my cohort ended, I was extended an offer letter from my employer. I'm now a Junior Rails Developer at MDLIVE. Its still mind-boggling to me that this all happened in about 10 weeks.
My experience at Wyncode was so rich and profound that I find it impossible to capture it in just a few paragraphs. I freely state that Wyncode changed the course of my career and it's easily one of the most impacting decisions of my life.
