    Excellent experience

    The teaching staff make every effort to make the material digestable for a novice. The structure of the curriculum and the small class size enabled us to move quickly and efficiently through dense subject matters. While the atmosphere is easy-going, the instructors will make sure you are challenged everyday.

    Satisfied Student of Fall 2016 Cohort

    The best advice I can give regarding making a decision about attending a bootcamp at all, or if this is the bootcamp for you: go to the website to get in touch with and meet Harrison, the lead instructor & founder to discuss what you are looking for, and to get a feel for his personality and experience.

    Harrison is endlessly knowledgeable in a ton of technologies, computer science theory, programming concepts, and best-practices. His real-world experience really shows in...

    A great experience

    If you're considering joining a bootcamp, I highly recommend Redwood Code Academy.

    The amount of information and knowledge presented throughout the course is amazing. Post graduation and I'm still learning from it all. Sure, It was tough at times, but that's because I learned more in the three months attending than my previous two years of self teaching. And not only do you learn full stack development, but you also learn the stages of developemnt and the strategies used to ensur...

It was a struggle for me but the assistance and motovation I received got me through, I couldn't be more exicted and thankful about ...

    Great Experience

    I came into Redwood Code Academy with very little knowledge of coding. From start to finish it has been very challenging and fun. As the course has progressed, I have been able to build projects and understand each process.  Not only is the environment entertaining, and enriching, but it's helped me with real world skills as a Dev.

    Definetily was a good decision to come here

    I took a course last year that taught the basics of front end development and I was able to get a job, but when I was working I realized that I needed more training, then I started looking for intensive courses (bootcamps) that will give me the skills to be a full stack developer, I was particularly interested in .Net and C# and that is how I found Redwood. Being now in my 4th week of the course I am glad I found this school, Harrison the instructor is an expert developer and champion of a...

    Might be the best decision of my life

    **NOTE: I have updated this 5 months after graduation, original review below this**

    So I am 5 months out of graduation. I have a job that pays roughly 50% more than before. 

    Was Redwood worth it? YES! For me, it was the only way for me to learn. I struggled being able to sit at home and teach myself. 

    Redwood does a good job at preparing you for the real world. You learn full-stack development, and have resources to help you out. The people you meet ...

    A Worthwhile Endeavor

    Redwood Code Academy has been the gateway to infinite possibilities for me in the field of software development. I had no prior experience in anything having to do with computers. The course is intense, but that is because it is meant for people like me. Harrison, the instructor and founder of the academy, does an excellent job of making sure his student get a full-scope view of how these full stack programs work and are related to each other. The environment he has built at Redwood is cre...
