My experience at Coding Dojo was excellent; insofar as what can be expected from 14 weeks. I expected to burn through course materials and be supplementing with things I found online - but they keep students who get ahead busy with relevant "optionals" that take the concepts learned earlier to a more advanced and real-world level. I programmed for 12 hours a day on average, a minimum of 10 hours per day seems like it could work.

Pros of Coding Dojo:
Depending on your cohort; this is a wonderful experience, everyone helps one another and keeps each other motivated during - and after - the bootcamp. It still feels like a second home. The stacks are very relevant to the current tech industry in the Seattle area; and learning 3 instead of two confers more advantages than disadvantages in my experience. Once you've learned how to set up a full stack project learning on your own becomes a lot more efficient. Which is to say in my experience it's more of an advantage to have three stacks, than two in which you have slightly deeper experience. Not only do the additional technologies look good on a resume, they also help you mix-and-match when you inevitably need to work with stacks you're unfamiliar with. The algorithm sessions were massively useful for confidence and skill in interviews. The teachers were generally very good, and friendly in my experience. The project weeks were helpful after graduation and taught me a lot about programming in the real world - not to mention being fun.
Cons:
The learning platform is mostly good, but a couple spots (I believe in particular the C# stack) are clumsily put together. Additionally; I am going to give the Job Search category a strong 4 star review because the new hire; Mark, at Coding Dojo Seattle is doing incredible work to connect with the community and build opportunities. During my cohort however it was terrible, the Career Services coordinator left on our first week and we didn't get a new one until we were just about out of there so...Quite minimal assistance there.
Advice:
I believe it's getting harder out there for bootcamp grads...That said; I would not be working as a programmer right now if it weren't for Coding Dojo. If you believe in yourself I highly recommend it. If you love coding as I do, I highly recommend it. I can't imagine more expensive bootcamps teaching more...in fact I can't imagine how one could learn more than I did in the same period of time. But start programming before you arrive, you need to love it - I recommend starting with CodeAcademy and doing a course from the following blog (not mine) http://blog.agupieware.com/2014/05/online-learning-bachelors-level.html. When you leave don't rely on digital applications; you'll need to network. Expect it to take at least 2.5 months; I was a "stronger" student, and I got almost no bites on the proverbial line until 60 days in. DO algorithms, a lot of students get scared around month 1.5 and stop going....But it's a HUGE component of feeling confident and getting a job. Finally; after you graduate, get a startup going with your friends and put it on your resume =D
