I have an MS in Computer Science and I've been working as a software engineer for 30 years. But my work had mostly been focused in a specific area, and I wanted to learn more about web-oriented technologies. So I took the 3 month course at CodingDojo.
Although bootcamps are generally regarded as a way for non-programmers to learn web development, I think CodingDojo is a great solution for experienced programmers as well, who want to come up to speed quickly on the open-source web development technologies that are widely used in the industry today. At CodingDojo there is heavy emphasis on the practical knowledge that is needed to write and debug web apps quickly, with lighter coverage of the basic computer science topics with which I was already familiar (i.e. algorithms and data structures).
If you have no programming experience at all I would advise you to learn introductory-level programming skills before starting at CodingDojo. However I have seen some exceptionally bright students with no previous programming experience succeed.
Before enrolling I considered learning web development on my own, and of course its theoretically possible to do so using freely-available online resources. But I think you would have to be an exceptional person to be successful on your own. CodingDojo provides direction (i.e. 'what should I study?'), structure (assignments with due dates and tests), and live instruction where you can ask questions.
Most importantly it provides a social environment in which you work with your fellow students, helping them and learning from them, just as you would in a real work environment. Compared to when I first started in this field, software development is now more of a group activity. Although you do have to be able to sit alone in your office and crank out code when you need to, you also need to be able to collaborate extensively with co-workers and customers. CodingDojo lets you practice these important collaboration skills. I guarantee you will learn some things about yourself that you didn't expect.
CodingDojo founder Michael Choi was my cohort's primary instructor for the first 6 weeks. He's an entertaining and effective instructor with a knack for making the material interesting, and cutting through to the most essential concepts. He often teaches by using "demos", in which he quickly writes a complete web app from scratch. I advise you to watch these demos closely. You can learn a lot from watching a skilled programmer work, but in the real world you might not get the opportunity very often. These opportunities are gold so don't let them slip by.
All in all CodingDojo was a rewarding experience for me and I'm glad I enrolled.
