Coding temple was amazing!

Coding Temple has taught me a lot from frontend all the way to backend. During the program I was able to reach any instructor and book an appointment in the Flex program to solve any confusion or issue that I had. Compared to the full time collages I was in I would say that here I learned more of actual coding and can now build full stack robust applications that look sleek and modern! There was not enough stars here for the instructors! Top notch!!! -

Taking this class was one of the best investments and career decisions I've ever made. I realize first hand that making such an investment can be a scary and nerve racking decision to make but trust me when I say that it will be well worth it in the end! Their curriculum is honestly designed to give you a deep understanding of all the technologies and languages that you'll be using for your career going forward. I am also beyond thankful to have had Ryan Rhoades and Alex Swiggum as my instructors. Their patience, knowledge, dedication, and overall desire to want to see you learn and succeed can not be overstated. Alex and Ryan's teaching style made some of the most challenging and difficult concepts really fun and exciting to learn! The time I got to spend learning with them and my fellow classmates is an experience that I will never forget. I know that much of the future success that I will have as a software engineer will be attributed to the time and work that they put into me to make sure that I have a solid understanding of all the material being taught. Alex and Ryan's mentorship and guidance along with Coding Temple's program overall has provided me with an unforgettable start to my software engineering journey and has also truly increased my love for coding! I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to become a Software Engineer!!! -

Embarking on a career change can be a daunting decision, but choosing Coding Temple proved to be the perfect fit for me. I attribute much of my success in this transition to the exceptional instructors, Alex and Ryan. Their impact exceeded my expectations, making the learning experience both enjoyable and enriching. Alex and Ryan possess a rare blend of expertise and practical insights, consistently providing real-world examples that resonate with the material being covered. Their ability to inject enthusiasm into the classroom creates an engaging atmosphere, making the learning process dynamic and effective. Beyond their extensive knowledge, Alex and Ryan exhibit remarkable patience and understanding, recognizing the challenges faced by students during the course. Their support goes beyond traditional instruction, fostering an environment where questions are encouraged, and individual struggles are acknowledged and addressed. I wholeheartedly recommend the Coding Temple course, and in particular, I highly recommend securing Alex and Ryan as instructors. Their combined knowledge, positive energy, and commitment to student success make them invaluable assets to the learning journey. -

I wanted to change my life for the better with a change in my career, so I did all sorts of research on different software engineering bootcamps. I decided to take a leap of faith with Coding Temple and I am so happy I did. If I had to compare it to something, I would say its like an unforgettable, first love. Just like a first love, you dont really know what you are doing, but you are learning along the way. It is fun and exciting and can also be challenging and difficult at times, but my instructors were there to help guide me along the way. Alex and Ryan are my instructors and they both have been even more than I could have ever hoped for in instructors. They both are super knowledgeable, super nice, super patient, super funny, and super awesome! They both make the curriculum easier to understand and interesting. I really like how the teaching style is and how there are notes that I could fall back to. I do wish there were some more complex examples or extra advance information in case I ever need to look back on my notes after I graduate, but other than that, I am satisfied with it. This whole Coding Temple experience and my time with Alex and Ryan are something I will never forget and will take with me into my software engineering career. Thank you so, so much for making this an amazing experience and hopefully one of the best decisions I made in my life! -

After searching for nearly a year I came across Coding Temple at the perfect timing. I was ready to enroll in a coding boot camp and luckily I found Coding Temple. The initial process to sign up for the full time boot camp was super easy. They have delivered and exceeded my expectations in every way! In a short 2 months I already know how to build websites from scratch. My teachers Alex and Ryan are the BEST! The criteria and class curriculum in spot in for becoming a successful software engineer. I feel more and more confident everyday and I continue to impress myself, having no previous coding experience. I only have good things to say about Coding Temple; thank you guys!! -

Hello there! For anyone thinking about diving into this bootcamp, let me share my enthusiastic review!
Enrolling in Coding Temple's Data Analytics program was a game-changer for me. The curriculum is not just about the basics; it's a deep dive that equips you with skills that are seriously competitive in the job market.
Now, let's talk about the real star of the show – my instructor, Katie Sylvia. Katie is a rockstar educator, blending patience, enthusiasm, and genuine care for her students in a way that takes the learning experience to a whole new level. Following her teaching style, even the trickiest concepts became not only understandable but downright engaging.
One standout aspect of the program that I absolutely loved was the use of Zoom breakout rooms. Katie's innovative teaching methods turned problem-solving into a collaborative adventure, giving us a hands-on learning experience that's key in the data analytics field.
And Katie didn't stop there – she brought real-life datasets into the mix. We dived into UFO data, explored national parks stats, and delved into social media trends. It wasn't just learning; it was applying what we learned to real-world scenarios, making everything click in a way that textbooks can't match.
Beyond the classroom, Coding Temple's commitment to student success is evident. The job assistance resources are top-notch, ensuring that you're not just equipped for the program but also ready to navigate the job market with confidence. This level of post-program support is a real game-changer and speaks volumes about Coding Temple's dedication to their graduates.
In addition to the fantastic instruction, robust curriculum, and practical application of real-life datasets, Coding Temple's commitment to creating a positive and collaborative learning environment is crystal clear. Katie Sylvia's dedication to fostering a safe space for questions, no matter how complex, emphasizes the value placed on every student's understanding.
In conclusion, Coding Temple's Data Analytics program isn't just about getting a solid foundation; it's about being prepared for the challenges of the real world. The combination of an in-depth curriculum, innovative teaching methods, hands-on experience with real-life datasets, and strong post-program support makes it a standout choice for anyone serious about excelling in the dynamic field of data analytics. I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunity and the skills gained through this program, and without a doubt, I highly recommend it to anyone considering a career in data analytics. Cheers to your future success! -

January 2024 Part-Time Graduate
Read more Read less of Heather Smallwood's review
Hello, I graduated from the part-time Full Stack Software Engineering cohort about two weeks ago. I worked a full time remote job while in the program. This course is fast pace, we learned about a topic a week. We had homework every night and most weekends. The weekend projects could be group projects or individual projects. Do not feel discouraged if you & your group cannot get together and complete the project, we changed groups each time, just learn and get your work done. Learning the backend is very important, but make sure your frontend is always presentable. Try to challenge yourself and go above & beyond. I would suggest you spend at least a month learning the pre work and looking over the topics and concepts. It will help you get into the program and not feel like you’re out of your league. The program is very time-consuming so make sure you can commit to it. I would start my homework after each class ended, and have my tutoring booked for the next morning if I needed help. Do not procrastinate, turn in each assignment on time. If you do not like your grade go back and correct the homework each week. Ask questions , answer questions, stay engaged! Make coding apart of your daily life & everything else revolves around it for a few months, the time will fly. I came into the program with no coding experience and I did very well.
Remember that other people have completed the course so it can be done , just keep going.
My instructors Christian and Dylan were very knowledgeable, prepared and eager to help. They have a genuine interest in seeing you succeed. They were very engaged, present, and transparent. I never felt like they were phoning it in! Their energy created an environment that kept us motivated, connected, and at our best. I am grateful to have been in their cohort. I am excited about finding my first job in technology and I feel that Coding Temple has prepared me for that opportunity and has opened those doors. -

Hard, but worth it!

I just graduated from the part-time Full Stack Software Engineering cohort and it was worth it! I spent about two years learning to code independently, but this course taught me how to program. I would spend a lot of time on one topic and not know when to move on and learn something new. The pace of this course is fast, about a topic a week, with nightly and weekend homework. It's very time-consuming so make sure you can commit to it. My instructors Christian and Dylan were great and knowledgeable on the topics, there are plenty of opportunities to get 1 on 1 help from your instructors and others. Overall, I was apprehensive about doing a BootCamp with so many opinions about them, but I am grateful I leaped from choosing Coding Temple and taking this course. -

Very Worth While
Read more Read less of Jack Buck's review
I was apprehensive about choosing a boot camp as reviews are scattered no matter where you go; look long enough and you'll find a reason to attend and not to attend every single one. That being said, I'm incredibly happy I decided to join Coding Temple in the part-time cohort and, while it wasn't as comprehensive as a 4-year degree (go figure), it was entirely worthwhile. Christian and Dylan were wonderful instructors and I'm grateful I was able to be in their cohort. Before Coding Temple I had a smattering of CS experience but was largely illiterate, I'm pleased to say that's no longer the case and I'm now ready to pursue bigger and better things.
My advice: apply for at least a month out and, beforehand, take a few self-study courses in the material that will be covered; the pace is brisk but manageable, and much more so if you aren't being introduced to these subjects entirely for the first time. Do that (and ask a lot of questions) and you'll find massive success here and be well on your way to graduating with the ability to hit the ground running when you're done. You will not know everything there is to know but you will be significantly more literate than you were and have a very solid foundation. -

The recruiting portion got a little rough, but thereafter once the cohort started, it was smooth sailing for the most part. I did the PART-TIME Full Stack Software Engineering...The Curriculum was difficult, especially coming from knowing NOTHING about coding. Christian and Dylan were absolutely great instructors! They always made sure to ask if there were any questions mid-lecture to ensure everyone was following along & took some time after class to help you with any questions. You do get what you put it...I took time to study for a few hours after class and took a few hours to study before class.
Will be back in a few months to provide feedback on the Job Assistance portion since I the cohort just ended. -

Great Teachers - You get what you put in

My teachers Dylan and Christian were both very thorough, patient, and helpful throughout. Easy to talk with and to get ahold of.
I taught myself quite a bit in preparation and it made the first couple of weeks easy, but once Flask kicked in I very quickly got sucked into the black hole and never came back out 😂.
If you are thinking about taking the course, I would recommend learning some of the material ahead of time it gave me some room to work on my capstone throughout the course instead of just at the very end.
I just graduated yesterday and I’m very excited for the next portion where I get moved over to the alumni and job search side of coding temple.
I obviously don’t have a job yet but I’ll come back and update this when I do with more info on the job search team.
My classmates were incredible and it was so helpful to have a community of peers who were struggling along with me.

Overall loved the course and would 10/10 do it again. -

I would have to say that I recommend Coding Temple 10/10 times. My instructors were really cool, you could tell that they had a lot of knowledge to share. I definitely felt challenged throughout the course, but there was always help available. Another great thing that was that I was able to make some friends along the way. I ended up teaming up with the 3 other students where we created an awesome bond. We helped each other through out the course and will more than likely still be in contact long after graduation. -

I was so excited to learn software engineering. The program started out great. Then the recorded code wars sessions were removed. I work full time and having recorded code wars sessions was so helpful. I made it through half the program and needed more help with flask. I was told to schedule a 30 min session. I didn't have time for that so I ended up getting frustrated with no help. I definitely wouldn't recommend this program. -

Amazing, Worth it, Helpful

This program is definitely tough and requires commitment but the good thing about this program is that this program does not want to see you fail. Remember it is a BOOTCAMP. It is fast paced. Ryan and Alex (my professors) were extremely patient with all us. They made it easy to come and talk to them if we had any questions or if we didn't understand anything they would explain it until it clicked. Coming in this program, I had little to absolutely no experience and here I am at least getting the basics and more to build websites, apps and so on. It's tough like I said and it can be overwhelming but if you can hang on and push through that, you will be fine. Take advantage of the resources given. There are numerous resources from getting help from other staff like Sarah, the Dylans and so much more. -

Boot camps can be super intense, no doubt about it. But from day one, Dylan and Sean made all the difference. No matter how tough things got, they were right there, cheering us on and breaking things down. Sean's energy? Absolutely infectious. And Dylan? His way of explaining things calmly just makes everything click. If anyone's on the fence about joining, I'd say go for it. For me, it was hands down the best decision ever. -

Learning Journey with Dylan and Christian

Embarking on the full-stack cohort experience at Coding Temple was one of my most insightful journeys, significantly enriched by my incredible instructors, Dylan and Christian. Right from the onset, their expertise was unmistakable.
Dylan, with his ever-enthusiastic spirit, made sure no stone was left unturned when it came to our learning. He wasn't just teaching; he was mentoring with a personalized touch, recognizing the skills I entered with, and pushing me beyond those boundaries. There wasn't a challenge too big for him to tackle, and his approachable demeanor meant no question went unanswered.
Christian, on the other hand, brought a complementary balance with his pragmatic approach to coding. Every project was a new adventure, and with Christian's guidance, they turned into playgrounds for innovation and learning. His dedication shone brightest through his consistent efforts to make complex concepts accessible and engaging for everyone.
Together, Dylan and Christian created a collaborative and inspiring learning environment. They didn't just cover the curriculum; they instilled a passion for tech, evident in every project I undertook. Their supportive and interactive teaching style significantly enhanced the in-class experience, making the intensive learning process not just bearable, but utterly enjoyable.
It's rare to find instructors who view your success as their own, and this level of commitment was a constant source of motivation. I am immensely grateful for their guidance, and it's safe to say that my growth wouldn't have been possible without their invaluable input.
To Dylan and Christian, thank you for not just being extraordinary instructors but for being the mentors that every coding enthusiast should have the honor of learning from. Your blend of professional wisdom, patience, and genuine interest in our success is what makes this cohort experience stand out. Keep inspiring! -

I just want to leave a quick review for instructors Alex, Brendan and Ryan! They were all great instructors and I learned a lot of useful information throughout this bootcamp.
I am appreciative of the structure that the SE bootcamp provides as having structure is essential to be successful in the bootcamp.
The coursework is very fast paced but doable if you dedicate the time and energy to getting the required homework and other tasks completed on time. If you fall behind, you do have time to make it up throughout the cohort, but towards the last few weeks it can be a stressful time to do so. My advice is to put your all into the program, do the homework on time, complete other tasks on time and practice the material taught.
I just completed the cohort and am looking forward to the Alumni side of things. This is the part of the program that prepares graduates for job hunting.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my experience with Coding Temple, and it's not been a positive one, unfortunately. I enrolled in their program in July 2022 with high hopes of finding a job in the tech industry within six months of graduation. I graduated in September 2022, but as of today, I'm yet to secure a job that would allow me to start repaying my loans.
I reached out to Coding Temple multiple times, trying to get some guidance and support in my job search. After a long wait, I finally got in touch with Mike-Lynn. However, the response I received was far from helpful. I was met with empty phrases and essentially told that it's my fault I'm in this situation, along with the classic "pull up your bootstraps" advice. This response not only lacked empathy but also failed to address the real challenges I've been facing.
My current situation is dire; I'm homeless and living in my car, all while desperately trying to secure employment. My intention is not to resort to negative reviews or legal action, but my circumstances leave me with no other choice. I need immediate and meaningful assistance.
I'm reaching out here in the hope that someone from Coding Temple will see this and take my situation seriously. I believe in the potential of the skills I gained from their program, but the promises made have not been upheld.
I'm eager to find a solution and fulfill my financial obligations, but I need Coding Temple's support to make that happen. If you're considering enrolling in their program, I urge you to think carefully about my experience before making a decision.

I had a great experience at Coding Temple. While the pace was challenging for me at times the support they provide is exceptional from pre-work all the way through to post graduation.

i just got graduated the overall experience is 10/10 very nice bootcamp the staff are great and they just willing to help instructors are very nice and informative specially my instructor Brandt, he is such a cool person as well as a teacher, the way he explains and delivers the ideas to you is great i learned a lot from/and because of him also Brendan was cool too although he was with us only the first 3-4 weeks but he gave us lots of resources where we can learn from, Brandt did great job handling the class on his own for 8-9 weeks. for me the Curriculum was decent starting with html/css going to python and then SQL as database following that learning flask a python framework finishing with JS/typeScript and react as frontend frame work I couldn't ask for more tbh. the course wasn't hard but i would say it was above average, if you are someone who loves learning new stuff or just love learning in general and your punctual enough you will be fine because you gotta keep on working/coding/reading though out the bootcamp, you will have free time some weeks but you gotta keep it ahead don't ever fall behind once you do, it's gonna be hard to catch up also you will learn seriously a lot once i joined i didn't know that much about tech but now i have a decent knowledge which is really cool learning all of this in this short time, one more thing i want to mention is week 5-6 which is gonna be kinda the hardest week because you will be building your first app but don't worry your instructor is there to help after week 6 thing will get better specially when you will learn react, REACT will make life much easier, lastly guys you gotta love what you do and love tech in general, if you don't i am not sure if you will make, thats overall my honest review to the bootcamp and the course in general i enjoyed it, it was really fun i get to know nice ppl, also don't listen or mind bad reviews YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PUT no room for laziness guys :)
Best of luck guys.

I recently had the privilege of attending the Software Engineering Boot Camp at Coding Temple with instructors Ryan and Alex, and it's safe to say that my experience was nothing short of excellent.
From the outset, Ryan and Alex demonstrated an unmatched expertise in their field. They navigated the complex world of coding with an admirable finesse, breaking down intricate concepts into digestible, comprehensible pieces. It's clear they both possess a deep understanding of software engineering, and their ability to relay this knowledge in a straightforward and approachable manner was instrumental in my progress.
In summary, the ten weeks I spent under the guidance of Ryan and Alex have been transformative. They've not just taught me the basics of software engineering, but they've also imbued me with the confidence and curiosity to explore, learn, and grow in this field. I would highly recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in software engineering. The course is intense and challenging, but with instructors like Ryan and Alex, every step of the journey becomes an enriching and enjoyable learning experience.

Primarily self-study and mediocre support and unrealistic requirements after graduation.
Read more Read less of Will Armstrong's review
My experience with the bootcamp was moderately satisfactory. The curriculum primarily functions as a launchpad, providing you with the capacity to assimilate new languages and frameworks rather than to gain mastery. Given the constraints of the 10-week full-time course, this approach is understandable. However, the pre-work encourages more reading than hands-on practice, and I noticed that this strategy led to early struggles for a number of my peers. For those considering any bootcamp, it is advisable to initiate your learning process well ahead of the start date. The bootcamp also faltered significantly when it came to maintaining its promised student-to-instructor ratio. They assured a maximum of 12-14 students per cohort, intending to facilitate effective learning and thorough practice of technical interview problems. However, when my cohort began, we were a staggering 28. This blatant misrepresentation was especially aggravating because it was one of the main factors that had swayed my decision towards this bootcamp.
This bootcamp's curricular style veers more towards independent learning, with instructors merely grazing the surface of topics and urging self-study. Homework, while time-consuming, does facilitate the application of the day's concepts. Consequently, the return on investment regarding your education here directly correlates to your effort.
The real shortcoming of the bootcamp lies in the Alumni group. We met an energetic, frank, and knowledgeable woman about six weeks into the course. She was supposed to guide us post-graduation, and we were eager to work with her. Unfortunately, the bootcamp let her and her entire team go, replacing them with less impressive substitutes. The new Alumni lead has a habit of scheduling meetings at the last moment, causing inconvenience, and her team seems ill-equipped for their roles according to their LinkedIn profiles. Additionally, the high staff turnover further strained our experience. Some of the new staff members quit within a week of their appointment, causing considerable disruption. Graduates were left trying to adapt to different people's styles, adding unnecessary pressure in an already stressful transition period.
The bootcamp's 9-month job guarantee is a significant selling point. However, the guarantee comes with stringent requirements that almost seem deliberately designed to frustrate the job search. For instance, the need to apply to 10 jobs per day or 50 per week, coupled with advice to reach out to every recruiter, borders on the impractical without resorting to mass applications on platforms like LinkedIn, thereby diluting the value of the exercise.
In our cohort's Discord, I shared a snippet of a conversation I had with the Alumni's self-proclaimed "Rising Product Manager". This exchange illuminated the hollowness of their support. They congratulated me on my employment while insisting I document it through the same appointment system they had previously ignored. It seemed more an attempt to claim undeserved credit than genuine support. My new job had little to do with their efforts, aside from some understanding I gained about the technical interview process.
Consequently, while the bootcamp did provide a valuable foundation for self-learning, these discrepancies in its promised and actual services significantly tainted my overall experience. The unreliable aftercare support and the misleading student-to-instructor ratio, coupled with the high staff turnover, severely undermines the bootcamp's credibility. It's an area they urgently need to address for future cohorts.
In essence, this bootcamp's value lies in the self-study it pushes you towards. However, its aftercare support needs significant improvement, especially if they wish to continue advertising a 9-month job guarantee.

Coding temple was a great experience learning full stack development. The learning environment was fast paced and thanks to my instructors, Christian and Dylan, I was able to succeed. Not only were Christian and Dylan able to communicate and explain the coursework at a high level but they also always made sure what they were communicating was understood by everyone. They could always tell when I needed to be pushed to go out and find a solution for myself or when I truly needed their extra help with understanding a topic. That has and will continue to make me a better developer. The coursework as a whole was well thought out. I never felt like I was incapable of what was being taught to us that day. -

I am a stay-at-home with two rambunctious boys, a 2-yr old and 2-month old when I started the program and didn’t have coding experience. I’ve always been intrigued to learn coding and to chance to work remotely. I chose Coding Temple based on the review and now, I can say that was a best choice! I did the self-paced program and did my lessons and assignments and projects at my own pace-that was the beauty of it. Also, videos were very well put together and the requirements were challenging and satisfying to finish it. Aside from that they have Codewars workshops and whiteboards that they offer every week. More importantly, shoutout to my lovely TA’s Schadre Dent and Donovan O’Linn who were always responsive and helpful whenever I get stuck, they’re amazing! If you haven’t picked any coding school yet… then go ahead and inquire at Coding Temple they have lot of courses that they offer. And if you’re a parent who wants to have a job remotely while raising their kid this is a good choice to consider, ‘IF I DID IT, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!’ -

I wanted to start off by saying that this course has been challenging. They provide an overwhelming amount of information that is difficult for any person to digest. When I began this course, I had very little knowledge of coding, and progressing from a beginner to a novice in such a program has been a painful process. However, I must express my deep appreciation for the dedicated and exceptional teachers, Sean Currie and Dylan Smith. They are undoubtedly the greatest teachers I have ever had the privilege of being a student of. Dylan is an absolutely brilliant instructor who was able to resolve any coding bugs that arose during the class.
I want to give a special shoutout to Sean. His after-school sessions and encouraging attitude have made this course manageable for me. There were moments throughout the course when I didn't think I would be able to graduate, but Sean was always there to provide that extra push I needed to persevere. I am incredibly grateful that I chose this bootcamp, as the knowledge they imparted is the industry standard and essential for success in the world of web development.
Thank you Dylan and Sean, i could'nt have done it without the two of you.

I was still in my senior year of highschool, but I wanted a head start on my career! Coding Temple made that possible with their flex/self-paced schedule! With this I was able to complete lessons on time whenever it was convenient! Though the work was challenging and humbling, I had the help of fellow peers and instructors who I got to know very well, helping me with whatever issues one may face with code or issues with payment/deadlines! The experience is something that I will never forget and am forever grateful to have taken part in! Thank you Coding Temple this is not the end! -

I started the Coding Temple cohort in March 13, 2023. I didn't really have any experience with coding or developing before the cohort started except for some free CodeCademy python and javascript basics but not really projects or coding problems. I took the part time course for 12 weeks monday-thursday about 3 hours at night and I thought that the course was very fast paced and you kind of have to figure a lot of stuff out on your own because that is how you learn the best but also there are a lot of good instructors that will help if needed. I had a lot of trouble personally with the work because I couldn't pick it up as fast as others who had prior experience and it was very frustrating but Sarah really helped me out a lot 1:1 with my work and was always there for me when I couldn't understand it after a while and everyone there really cares about the students learning and future. I would say I think that my Coding Temple experience was very good because I had to challenge myself to learn and grow better. Shoha and Sarah were awesome instructors that really cared about us and our future careers! -

I started CT in February and just graduated yesterday. I tried out a couple of bootcamps before CT and knew they just werent for me. The culture, the way the curriculum was set up. I LOVED that the student to teacher ratio was about 1:4 (compared to others bootcamps where its about 1:15). Brendan & Brandt were there ANY time you needed help and made sure you understood what was being taught. No question was a stupid question. They knew we were beginners, and were VERY patient with us. Its hard work and you will HAVE TO study and spend most free time studying and coding to fully understand everything; but thats what you should be doing when you really want to learn something anyway so it goes hand-in-hand. Our instructors made it known it is a very fast paced course and set us up for success every step of the way. Id recommend this course to anyone that wants to learn how to code! Thank you Brendan & Brandt for being the best instructors! -

Coding Temple ROCKS - a challenging yet rewarding program

I took a huge chance joining the full stack software engineering program. I had concerns that this program would be something that would be too complex for me to fully understand. My instructors - Christian and Dylan completely changed my viewpoint on that after the first week. They assured our entire cohort (including themselves) that we were in this together. They did an amazing job explaining the curriculum through lectures and gave us challenging yet enjoyable assignments. They answered in-depth any questions we had and I believe that everyone in my cohort felt comfortable asking a question whenever we needed to. They encouraged us to form bonds with our colleagues learning alongside us and I believe that helped us all to graduate that much more. This program is definitely a challenging one - but you are given more than enough tools to succeed, and most of the time it is actually very fun as well. -

Fantastic Course!

This is a fantastic course to enroll in f you're looking at breaking into the software development industry. You will not walk away as an expert Full Stack Developer upon graduation. You will build a strong foundation for taking the first steps toward a career in software development. While it's definitely the type of course that you get what you put into it, the course is designed to set you up for success. Having taken this course, I can very comfortably say I have a firm understanding on using and/or integrating CSS, HTML, Python, Flask, SQL, JavaScript and React. Additionally, building applications while using GitHub to store, track, collaborate, and share progress/results is a huge upside. Same with working on group projects. There are very niche subtilities that you learn in this course that you otherwise wouldn't while taking a self-taught curriculum and that's personally where I found the most value. Highly recommend this bootcamp for anybody who is serious about diving into the software development industry, great course.
Special shout out to our instructors Christian and Dylan. This has been the best instructor dynamic I've experienced to date. The two worked very well together in ensuring my class had all the tools needed to successfully learn the material. The result was evident in our capstone presentations where each student demo'd high quality, full stack web applications.
Money well spent for me and a worthwhile investment. Would do again in a heartbeat. -

The coding experience and confidence I gained from this boot camp cannot be overstated. In the span of 12 weeks I feel I reached a deep understanding of back end and front end development. The road map was clearly laid out and the staff was around anytime I needed help. They gave a great foundation of information and showed us how to build upon it on our own and with our cohorts. The lectures were well structured and the pacing allowed for more in depth coverage on anything that I felt I didn't understand at first. teamwork and collaboration were just as important as independent work and with every project my instructors were giving helpful advice and critiques. Again the success that I had with this course was only found with the help of the staff and specifically my instructors. I am forever grateful -

Coding Temple exceeded my expectations and left me feeling well-equipped for my career in coding. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to dive into the world of software development or looking to enhance their existing skills. I had fun learning from my instructors, who were always happy to help when I was stuck and willing to explain things in different ways if needed. They made learning the material easy. I just graduated so I'm going through the job assistance part now but so far so good! I never feel alone when I have a code related or career related question. -

Learned how to build a full stack web application in 3 months. Huge thanks to Christian and Dylan! Christian for intuitive class sessions, and great explanations for complicated topics. Dylan was extremely helpful every single time I asked for help, he would pull me out of pitfalls I would be stuck on for hours in less than 5 minutes. Couldn't have wished for a better experience, and now I love coding! :)
