    Awful instructor

    The class was poorly taught and the instructor was condescending. He would get annoyed if students asked questions. I had to supplement the course with tutoring. Plus, he didn't know certain subjects.i had asked to transfer classes, but never received a response. Now, I am out thousands of dollars.

    Atlanta Experience Only

    I can only speak from my experience during the Atlanta "experiment." During one of the most crucial points in the program, as we are sprinting to the end, our instructor and community manager were basically told that the Atlanta campus was on-hold indefinitely. That doesn't really inspire teachers to teach. Moreover, I am not sure how much pedagogical training was given to the instructors in the first place. People can be great coders and have trouble teaching concepts---which brings me to...

    100% recommend

    I encourage anyone interested in web development to take any of the classes at NYCDA!! I wanted to make a career change, and was confident by the end of Web Development Intensive. I graduated with more than just coding knowledge; but like anything, you get what you put in. Everyone at NYCDA are great, and willing to help you with just about anything you might need during and after the course!

    WDI: It depends on who you get

    Your Instructor:

    A successful education, in addition to your earnest efforts, relies heavily upon who you get as an instructor. At NYCDA, this can vary wildly. I've heard amazing stories about past instructors, but I've also experienced others that know "just enough"-- and just enough doesn't cut it for beginners. In my cohort, most were disappointed, although the instructor was a great individual. (This is most definitiedly a failure of upper management).

    Overall Excellent Experience

        My overall experience was excellent and definitely worth the time, effort, and money. The instructors were great in both teaching and knowledge of coding practices and best industry practices. Most of all, I learned the skills to continue my education and become a better problem solver-which is what being a developer is really all about.

        The pre-course consists of basic HTML, CSS and command line exercises to prepare the students for the first couple we...

    Lessons in Institutional Entropy

    NYCDA has some exceptional staff members and instructors, but dysfunction at the highest decision-making levels cripples it as an institution.

    There is little support for instructors and their teaching assistants, and the curriculum is not particularly designed past the first several weeks, which do serve as a solid introduction to HTML/CSS/JS/Ruby. Sadly, the instructors and TAs are fighting a battle against what appears to be some sort of organizational entropy. A portion of th...

    Eh

    The experience was ok, but it left me constantly expecting a lot more. Generally it seemed like the course was kind of thrown together, with many concepts poorly explained, many sample apps irreparably broken, and the same project used multiple times in slight different flavors. 

    The curriculum seemed pretty weak compared to other bootcamps, and the career services department is a pretty big joke.   The instructors I dealt with were all pretty talented, but it felt like they were...

    Not great if you need a job, great if you want to learn a specific language/framework

    The intensive program is great, if you want to learn Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, and you currently know nothing. It definitely teaches you how to make stuff, and further fundamentals of web development. 

    However. If you enroll with the sole purpose of getting a job, please go elsewhere. They are not great at that, I know dozens of WDI students before and after my class (December 2015) who are still struggling in search of a job. They do not focus on that: there are no hiring pa...
