HackDojo is closed
This school is now closed. Although HackDojo is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and HackDojo alumni reviews on the school page.
HackDojo is a 6-week, full-time full-stack JavaScript program set in the PeopleSpace coworking and tech community in Orange County. Throughout the 10 weeks, students at HackDojo will learn fundamentals of programming and programmatic thinking, HTML5 and CSS3, JavaScript fundamentals and Libraries, jQuery, AJAX, Node.JS, Angular.JS, MongoDB, MeteorJS, MVC Concepts, Databases and APIs, Test Driven Development, Heroku, Git and Github. The school is meant to mimic a real development shop, and students will be building four projects of their own choosing. By the end of the program, students will have completed projects in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails to add to their portfolios. While HackDojo will prepare students for the job search process, a job is not guaranteed.
I'm a local technical recruiter in Orange County, specializing in placing JavaScript and Open Source Engineers in the area.

I'm a local technical recruiter in Orange County, specializing in placing JavaScript and Open Source Engineers in the area. I have worked with many different candidates out of various bootcamps, but I would by far say candidates coming out of HackDojo have not had the success with interviews as they should expect to have, after investing this much time/money into a program like this. The last course they give implies that after they receive their "black belt" they are able to build real-time applications on mobile websites. From my own experience that is not the case. I have a client who I have sent many Jr-Mid Level front end engineers out to, and I can definitelly tell now which camps have better training. One of the managers needed candidates to build a simple website with bootstrap, and make sure it was responsive and fit on mobile. The candidates coming out of HackDojo did not have any understanding of what that actually meant. When I looked at their sites on a mobile platform, I found the sizing was completely off, the alignment was off, and there were extra gaps of white blank space on the left/right of the site they had built. The worst part is was that they all believed that their sites were perfect they way they submiited them and didn't catch any mistakes they had made. It was not just one candidate, they all displayed weaknesses in similar areas for the code tests.
I also was told HackDojo was formerly known as School of Devs, but they went through a lot of issues, including inability to pay rent for office space, students dropping out before the bootcamp was over, etc. so it might not be the best source to trust. However, for comparison, I have gotten offers for candidates coming out of alternate bootcamps, the three I would recommend (as of now) based on the candidates I have represented have been Hack Reactor (in SF), General Assembly (LA), and Sabio.la. If you are looking to invest money and are serious about a career in programming, I recommend choosing one of the three schools I listed above.
