Coding Dojo Bootcamp
Summary
Coding Dojo is a global coding education company founded in Silicon Valley by Michael Choi in 2012.[1][2] It currently has 10 locations in the United States – Silicon Valley, Seattle, Burbank, Dallas, Arlington, Chicago, Tulsa, Orange County, Boise, and East Bay, as well as full-time and part-time online programs.
Its curriculum covers full-stack web development technologies, such as Python, MEAN, LAMP, Ruby on Rails, and iOS.[3] In August 2017, the company decided to drop Ruby on Rails from its curriculum and added Java and C#/ASP.NET Core, instead.[4][5]
History
Michael Choi was having difficulty finding qualified programmers for his previous company, Zurple. So, in 2010, he developed an internal training program which would train new developers in a matter of weeks. After seeing the effectiveness of the program, Michael decided to teach the curriculum to the public. Hence, offering the first Coding Dojo bootcamp in 2012.[6][7]
Coding Dojo's first bootcamp was held at the start of 2012 in Mountain View, CA. During that time, it was still a nine-week program covering only two stacks.[8]
Campuses
In 2015, Coding Dojo moved its head office and campus to San Jose, CA[9] and also opened its Bellevue-Seattle campus as part of its expansion.[10] Another campus was opened in Los Angeles late 2015. In 2016, more campuses were opened at Dallas (March), Tysons Corner (June), and Chicago (September).[11] In September 2017 the campus in Tulsa was opened.[12][13] Their recent expansion is in the East Bay area.[14]
Curriculum and Program
Coding Dojo bootcamp teaches three full stacks in a 14-week program.[3][15] During the program, students can customize which stack they prefer to learn. Each stack will cover a programming language, database, and framework.[3]
In September 2016, it introduced C# to its Seattle location and then rolled out to other campuses.[16] In May 2017, it added Java to its curriculum and removed Ruby and Rails and Swift to some locations.[17]
Students are encouraged to allot 50-70 hours of coding per week. An hour lecture is provided each day and the rest of the day is allotted for coding. Belt exams are given to assess what the students have learned. If one fails the exam, a retake is allowed.[18]
