I had a fantastic experience at Coding Dojo. It is definitely a full-on immersive course and the ~70 hour weekly expectation is very real. It is an expectation and not a firm requirement as the instructors/staff will not chase you if you choose not to put in the time. You'll get what you put into this, so I would highly recommend giving it your all. There were certain times where I felt very comfortable with the material (more toward the beginning) and didn't feel the need to put in 70...
I had a fantastic experience at Coding Dojo. It is definitely a full-on immersive course and the ~70 hour weekly expectation is very real. It is an expectation and not a firm requirement as the instructors/staff will not chase you if you choose not to put in the time. You'll get what you put into this, so I would highly recommend giving it your all. There were certain times where I felt very comfortable with the material (more toward the beginning) and didn't feel the need to put in 70 hours and other times where I felt I was struggling or falling behind and put in more than 70.
Your typical day will begin with an hour of algorithm white-board practice which is a key skill not only for programming but for upcoming technical interviews when you'll be searching for a job. I would recommend being sure to attend these and pay full attention. I do think that the brevity of these sessions and the group nature did leave a few people behind in understanding that may have relied on their stronger group members, but this is a great example of where those individuals could put in more time to catch up. You'll then receive a lecture on a given topic before essentially moving into an open lab period where you will proceed on the Dojo's online platform. Your cohort-mates and instructors will be available to help you if you're stuck, and I highly recommend taking advantage of this. Many times working on difficult assignments in a group was highly beneficial to me.
Generally the platform is excellent, clearly explains the given concepts and moves at a quick pace. I will say that some of the platforms were better done than others, especially towards the beginning. I took MEAN as a third stack and I believe it had just been revised and contained some typos and grammatical errors. While not at all game-breaking, it was frustrating at times as coding requires a very precise attention to detail. Those are also simply typographical errors that did not really affect the quality of the actual material. Overall it was fantastic and perhaps my favorite element of the course as it let me proceed in the material at my own pace.
The instructors are also excellent, coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. They are generally very supportive and helpful and made themselves available throughout the day.
Just a few minor nitpicks - the actual building the Dojo is located in isn't the best - it's facilities are a bit outdated and it had some internet connectivity issues while I was attending there. I do believe the Dojo is planning to move at some point and this certainly should not deter you from attending as the camp itself far outweighs any negatives. Just pointing it out as it was a bit annoying on some rare occasions.
I would overall highly recommend Coding Dojo. I reviewed quite a few coding boot camps before deciding on Coding Dojo and maintain that I made the correct choice. Good luck!
