I attended Coding Dojo in the Fall of 2018 in Seattle. I was a product manager for seven years at Amazon/AWS, but I wanted to switch to an SDE role because I'm more interested in technical issues and coding plays more to my strengths. I've had some background and experience in coding, having taken most requirements for a CS major in college, but at the time I was planning for a different career, while programing was just fun. I've continued to enjoy coding, and it's been a hobby over the years since, and I finally decided to pursue it as a career. In transitioning from PM to SDE, I was looking for a boot camp that would immerse me in coding, refresh some of what I'd learned in the past, and teach me new technologies/frameworks. Coding Dojo's 14-week intensive program was a good fit in timeline and topics.
The Coding Dojo experience was great for me and has worked out very well. The instructors and teaching assistants were great. They were engaging, explained concepts well, and encouraged a lot of collaboration. It was a lot of content to cover, but they kept us motivated and pushed us along with the right combination of compassion and sternness when necessary. Aside from a few students who figured out in the first few weeks that the program wasn't for them, everyone in our cohort finished a pretty grueling curriculum, and that's a credit to the teaching staff and fellow students who all helped them along. You learn an incredible amount in those 14 weeks, and it's amazing what students are able to build after a few weeks on a new stack. Daily algorithms was one of my favorite parts, and good practice for interviewing and thinking about coding. I'm also glad that I learned 3 stacks (Java, Python, and MEAN). I primarily use Java now at work, but the others are good knowledge to be more well-rounded and draw on occasionally. I also really enjoyed getting to know and working with my fellow student. It was a great, and fun group, and Coding Dojo encourages activities and projects make it more interactive.
I think Coding Dojo gave me all I could ask for in a 14-week intensive coding boot camp. It’s been just what I needed for my transition to a coding position. I will say that my prior experience has also been important to help me in this transition. Prior coding experience is not required for Coding Dojo, but it helps. For me it’s given me a little more depth in some areas and that has helped. Coding Dojo teaches you all they can, but there’s only so much you can cover in 14 intensive weeks. Importantly, they do emphasize learning how to help yourself and find answers in manuals and searches.
I really enjoyed my time at Coding Dojo, and I definitely think it’s been a good choice for me.
