    Awesome Course!!

    This is the perfect course for people who work full time and are looking to advance their careers in Front End Development. The teachers/mentors are extrememly helpful and they always make sure that their students are comfortable with what they are learning. I felt I had support in whatever I attempted and if I had any questions on the job, they were only a text or phone call away. The mentors are open to feedback and actually seek feedback in order to improve their future courses, which i...

    Worth Every Penny!

    I'm currently a student at Codify Academy, and am pretty confused by the negative review below.

    Codecademy is extremely basic. I've done it and know first hand that you cannot possibly learn as much as we cover in class or in the projects that these guys provide us. 

    When I first talked with these guys over the phone, Sam was really insistant on making sure I understood how project based vs lecture this class is. For me the value wasnt even in the "content" it's a guide...

    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".

    Codify is all i wanted in a coding camp

    If you're looking for a coding bootcamp where teachers and group projects force you to be present and working for 90+ hours/week and/or if your motivation to learn and grow derives from external pressure then this might not be right experience for you.

    Codify is all about what you make it. I personally spent every free minute eating, breathing and sleeping code and i got what i wanted: a job as a software engineer, with no prior coding experience.

    This review will have three sections: 1) life before codify, 2) life during codify and 3) life after codify

     

    Life Before

      I started my educational journey(college) at the University of California at Santa Cruz majoring in Sociology or as I like to call it "wizadry." Late in my program I discovered programming, however I did not know at that time I wanted to pursue this passion as a career until later on. I spent years(approximately 4) trying...

    Good Job Codify

    Thanks to Codify Academy, I was able to learn how to code in HTML, CSS and use jQuery. After graduating, they helped me find a job in web development by critiquing and helping to edit my online portfolio, resume and cover letters. The workshops to improve those 3 were very helpful in landing my first job as developer.

    Codify Academy rocks

    This course was great. The delivered what they promised and much more. When I started I had been trying to teach my self coding for about 2 months. I learned more in the first week than I did the entire 2 months of trying to teach myself.  Now I can make full websites from scratch. In terms of the job search they were super helpful. They consulted me after every interview, phone or in person. They critiqued my resume several times, and helped me find all the best avenues to apply on. I now...

    Did not deliver

    There are a couple issues I have with what they promise, and what they actually deliver. 

    1. They advertise this bootcamp as a 16 week course. It's actually a 12 week course, and 4 weeks of applying to jobs (basically by yourself).

    2. They said they would teach us HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, AngularJs, AJAX, and API's. They did not cover Angular Js or AJAX. The API's we went over briefly one time, and I have no idea how to use them.<...

    I Landed a Great Job Thanks to this Course

    The class atmosphere is great. They make it fun while challenging you to rapidly advance your skills. What I found especially helpful is they provide in depth insight on how to investigate design or code issues and resolve the problem. With repetition you really understand how to solve challenges more and more on your own. Also I really like how they push you to develop your own online portfolio. Now with my portfolio and skills sharpened I have a great job and I am in high demand with rec...
