Somewhat agreed:
(oh btw a disclaimer at the bottom of a post like oh I may be biased or still work there but....)
I am a founder at Coding House.
We have the instructor (co founder) who wrote the RoR curriculum for General Assembly 3.5 years ago (that they still uses to date) and was there lead instructor. He also wrote the curriculum for Nashville Software School, and Flat Iron School. That they all still uses!
There is not an instructor out there that has more experiences.

Fair enough.
We take 100% responsibility for taking a student in our first cohort over 1 year ago; who was not prepared, did not do the work in or after the program.
We have learned from our mistake.
We now have extensive per work, coding challenges (gates on all phases) and accept only 3.16% of the students that apply.

Hi All,
I am one of the founders at Coding House. Let me provide some insight on the post from last year.
1) 50% of the the post is true and my fault
2) 50% is untrue and students fault
3) It was our very first cohort and we had a lot to learn about what worked and did not work
4) The student has been refunded
5) We wanted to make it like a real boot camp and that was to hard on some of the students
6) We have fantastic instructors you can find there bio's on our site
7) We have change our policies to insure it dose not happen again
8) Look up all the reviews of Coding House and you will find we have great outcomes and satisfied students
Wrong.
- Maybe the bottom 20% should go and that is natural selection.
- The is a huge shortage of devs.
- Most colleges are not doing a good job creating dev's (their are about 100 who do).
- You can learn everything we teach on your own for free (near free).
- btw Plursight is great if you are a JR Dev not if you don't know shit.
- Boot camps expedite the process by 4x to 12x the amount of time it would take.
- You will not become an expert or an intermediate dev at any boot camp. You will still be green.
- In a boot camp you will learn between 2-4% of what you need to know about coding.
- You will earn the rest over 20-30 years.
- Thus we focus on teaching people how to be self relent. So the can pick up a new language, framework, how to FIX bugs, TDD, merging, working in groups. The process that one can apply to most anything they need to do down the road.
