I attended the Coding Dojo location in San Jose, CA in late 2016. Before I joined, I was working in biomedical research, but was finding it hard to get a job in my field in the Bay Area. A lot of the jobs I was applying for required programming skills, so I decided to start trying to teach myself. After a few months of Javascript and Python, I was really enjoying learning and decided to take a leap, and enroll in a bootcamp to learn how to code properly and actually build apps.

I attended the Coding Dojo location in San Jose, CA in late 2016. Before I joined, I was working in biomedical research, but was finding it hard to get a job in my field in the Bay Area. A lot of the jobs I was applying for required programming skills, so I decided to start trying to teach myself. After a few months of Javascript and Python, I was really enjoying learning and decided to take a leap, and enroll in a bootcamp to learn how to code properly and actually build apps.
I looked around at a few different bootcamps in my area, and finally settled on Coding Dojo. It sounded like it had the most varied program, and also taught you important skills like algorithms that some other bootcamps seemed to skip. They also seemed to offer the most value for money, as the fees were slightly lower than some of the other bootcamps (especially ones up in San Francisco), and they offered scholarships that contributed towards the cost of tuition which was a big bonus.
Coding Dojo proved to be an invaluable 4 months of programming tuition for me. I met some great people there; got to work with other junior programmers, gaining experience of working as part of a team; took part in hackathons and learned multiple languages and frameworks, which ultimately sparked my passion for Javascript and front-end development. Even 9am algorithms every morning, which seemed like torture, have helped me a huge amount! Not just in job interviews and phone screens, but also for figuring out how to implement logic in my code.
Not only that, but the staff and TAs there are also super supportive. They're friendly and approachable, and there's always someone around to chat to if you need advice. They always encourage you to think around a problem in different ways, help you to work through your code when you're stuck or debugging, and continue to provide job support and resources well after graduating the bootcamp.
The only small criticism I have is that (at the time I was there) they didn't teach React as part of the Javascript course, despite its huge popularity right now. However, it was offered as a supplemental course that you could learn in your own time, but maybe teaching it alongside or even instead of Angular would be more useful for people hoping to go into front-end work! The React course that they did provide was useful for me as a starting point to teach myself React though, so definitely don't let that put you off.
I've now been in a programming job at a startup for 18 months, working in React (Javascript) and web design. I know without a doubt that I never would have got here teaching myself, and that Coding Dojo was invaluable in that regard. They figure out different ways to teach you that help to make the lessons stick, and I'm a better programmer now for having attended this bootcamp.
