My experience at Coding Dojo has been stellar and everything I was hoping for in a coding bootcamp.

My experience at Coding Dojo has been stellar and everything I was hoping for in a coding bootcamp. The combination of engaged Teachers, and TA's, plus the excellent material and teaching style has given me the solid foundation of tools and confidence that I was looking for and that I will take forward to tackle any challenge I meet down the road. Add to that a super informed and helpful career services advisor who reached out on day one and made it known that I was not in this alone - and I knew that I had made the right choice by going with Coding Dojo!
As a successful student at Coding Dojo here are a few strategies that I have helped me excel in a sometimes tough and isolated on-line learning environment.
1. I actively reach out and ask questions (a lot) and take nothing for granted: The teaching staff at coding dojo is super responsive and always there to help when I didn't understand something or was feeling behind in the course work. I noticed that a lot of other students would say they were behind but then not ask for help or clarification. It is up to us to be responsible for our learning experience and the more I hold myself accountable, the more I get things done. In an online learning environment, ultimately there is no one holding your hand and you have to have an amount of self-starter attitude to succeed. That being said, Coding Dojo does a great job of creating a learning community through the messaging platform Mattermost and through live lectures and code reviews via Zoom video conferencing. With those tools, even though you are many miles apart form fellow student and teachers, you have the opportunity to connect and learn from each other.
2. Helping other students: One of the best way for me to learn is to actively engage and help out my fellow students. Any time I had the chance to help someone that was behind I jumped to try and assist. There is a great amount of material covered in a bootcamp and sometimes it can feel overwhelming trying to retain all that material. One great way to keep and solidify that foundation that you are building is to help someone else. You learn what you really know and what you need to work more on when you are trying to explain it to someone else. On top of that, you just helped someone else, made a stronger connection and built your own confidence up a notch. Win win win!
3. Code reviews are not optional in my mind: Each class offered an optional code review each week (sometimes more) and I found this to be one of the most valuable learning platforms. Again, most students in the program only seemed to do the required work, but my mindset was that I was going to get the most out of Coding Dojo and take advantage of every opportunity to learn. During code review I had the chance to get comfortable and confident coding in front of my peers. I was able to ask in depth questions, and explore more advanced topics at points because I was one of only a handful of students to regularly show up and actively share what I was working on.
4. Optional algorithm studies: I made a habit and commitment to take on optional material in algorithm studies. The problem solving skills I developed/gained taught me recognize what was being asked of me and how to break a problem into small steps to achieve that bigger goal. I think anyone looking to excel in a coding boot camp should incorporate regular algorithms into their daily practice. I'm thankful that Coding Dojo had great TA's to help inspire this practice in me.
Can anyone learn to code? I honestly think so. But I also know the reality is that you have to want to learn. Anyone that decides and chooses that they want to can succeed. By setting ourselves up for success, allotting the time needed, and holding ourselves accountable I firmly believe anyone can thrive. Coding Dojo has provided an excellent platform and community for me to get to where I wanted to be in a relatively short time and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a chance to level themselves up!
