Coding Temple

I attended a beginner SQL course. The course was very interactive as well as informative. jennifer the instructor did a very good job at making sure everyone was following along and understanding the material being taught. The course moves at very good pace allowing students to rasp the material very well. Also during the course there was a breif presentation by robert half who demonstrated how much of a dmeand there was for people with skills in SQL, also they remained after the course to provde help with students looking for jobs. I would definetly recommend taking a course or attending a workshop at coding temple as they have very skilled teachers, and their strong focus on helping their students get placed in the work force after graduation. 

I was a student for Coding Temple's first cohort and I can defnitely say that it was a valuable experience. The instructor, Hitesh, was an expert at all the topics that were covered and was able to answer every student's questions and provide us his insight from his career experience. The class size is kept under 8 students so everyone has their indivdual attention and learning needs accomodated for. There are multiple projects assigned throughout the course that forces you to take a "learn by doing" approach; projects that are then available to add to your portfolio of development work.  Since it was a part-time camp with an intense amount of topics that needed to be covered, the instructor also made himself available outside of class to assist anyone that needed additional help. Coding Temple provides you with all the resorces and infomation needed to develop your skills to be fit for an entry level development role. The experience was nothing short of superb. 

I attended the introduction to C# event through Meetup this weekend and it was much more informative than I expected for a free workshop.  The presenter/instructor, Avi, that taught the workshop was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.   

My main intention for attending the workshop was to see if I would fit in the 12-week course that is coming up in January and I was assured that my very limited understanding of programming would be just fine.  I'm looking forward to future workshops and hopefully being accepted into Coding Temples next course.

 

Coding temple is a very great way to start your computer science experience. And if you have experience than you can also get master at it and expand your knowledge on various topics... Location is best .. Close to union station or you can take cta trains too. Teaching and organizing staff are awesome. They will work with you at your on convinent time. They will do everything that they possibly can do to help you like skype help, out side school help and also they can meet you up in near by location. Instructor will give you real life example to explain you what is exactly your are require to do in this field. They will also train you for interview and also they will train you at your best.  It requires more time outside of on campus classes but at the end it will pay of good:) 

 

 

I really could write a book about how horrible this bootcamp is (but I'll keep it brief). For one, there is no vetting of the students. The bootcamp will literally will accept anyone, even if he never saw a computer before. One student asked how to add spaces between lines (answer: hit the enter button). It took so long for students to do simple things or understand basic concepts. Instructors were also new to coding, which made the pace of the class so painfully slow. I was hoping that at least the career services would be helpful considering the "Job Guarantee" (tuition refunded after nine months if no job), but the job placement assistance is a total joke. They send bootcamp graduates emails containing severely outdated jobs (several years old in some cases), jobs not at all matching what was taught at all, and jobs that we are completely unqualified for. Also, the Job Guarantee has conditions that are impossible to maintain for nine months. In my cohort's group chat on discord, everyone is saying that they feel like they got scammed/ripped off. None (not even the top student) is anywhere near getting an interview for a coding job, let alone landing one.

To those wondering if they should enroll in Coding Temple, I would recommend it. First and foremost the school is affordable, (not necessarily cheap), but definitely cost effective. I liked that they give an option of how you want to go about your education (I chose the flex-go at your own pace route). The subject matter was for the most part not dificult to understad, hough I had some issues towards the end. I was also impressed by the sheer bulk of additonal resouces provided pertaining to the curriculum. I would rate the school an 8/10.  Again, highly recommended to those looking for a low risk/high reward path into the IT career field.
