I recently graduated and am freshly entering the tech world, so I don't know how the tech industry is as a whole, but I really enjoyed the environment at Coding Dojo. The instructors and my fellow students were all very friendly, and the vibe was generally very relaxed and easy going. There is a biegarten literally a 1 minute walk away and that also made the experience extra fun. With that said, learning to code requires dedication and persistance. One of the rules at the Coding Dojo is that when you are coding, you need to first struggle for 20 minutes before asking help from an instructor or TA. You can ask a fellow student, but you guys must also struggle for 20 minutes first. This may seem counter intuitive too many at first, but in my opinion this is a great policy. This really teaches you to become more self reliant, creative in searching for solutions, and a better problem solver. This is also a simulation of the coding environment in the real world. BUT with that said, if you're completely stuck on something and you gave your best effort, definitely ask for help after 20 minutes. There's no point in being stuck for longer than that. The TAs and instructors that I've worked with have all been very intelligent and helpful. They can find the problems in your code no problem, but they want you to try by yourself first. When you actively engage your obstacles, that's how you really internalize what your doing. If someone just handed you all the answers, it may feel good at first but it would be hindering your long-term growth.
I'm a big fan of the learning platform offered by the Dojo. I've heard different opinions from various people, but for me it provided me all the tools to delve into coding and eventually build web apps. I personally learn a lot better by doing projects as opposed to heavy lecture based curriculum. The Dojo provides demos and lectures, but I still prefer learning by reading and doing. Before I came to the dojo, I learned html/css/jquery, basic javascript and python through code academy but nothing related to servers or databases. In fact, I've never even heard of many of the technologies we learned. By going through the Dojo, I've been able to develop web apps that are currently deployed (online) which is awesome in such a short amount of time. Still, with that said, it took a lot of hard work and long hours (70-90 hours a week for me). Nothing will be handed to you. Just because you enroll doesn't mean you'll magically become an awesome coder. You have to earn and struggle through every obstacle and achievement you make.
Ok I feel like I've started rambling a bit. My take home message is the Coding Dojo provides a great environment to learn. You have to embrace struggling because coding is hard. Help is always around the corner, but try try try by yourself first. And just like anything in life, the more you put in the more you get out.
