Has anyone done the 9 week Coder Camps program in Houston? What was hiring day like? How many have been hired from your troop?

I was part of the first troop that graduated CoderCamps and as far as I know everyone in my troop has been hired we all stay in touch with each other consistently and honestly it was a great experience

I attended the codercamps bootcamp and you can find out more about my experiences at http://sprky.co hiring day was non existent at least while I was there. Quite a few people got jobs after camp or got picked up by the camp as counselors (all current actively participating counselors are previous students), at least that was my observation.

I had a great life changing experience at Coder Camps. Definitely worth the time and effort and money. The instructors' patience and knowledge is what makes this place special. But before you decide to come to this place make sure you love to code, love to work hard long hours, and you have some basics of programming covered. I would definitely suggest taking a month or 2 before enrolling to make some personal projects.

I finished the program a couple weeks ago and had multiple offers within a week of graduation. I went to Coder Camps for a career change, and it successfully enabled that shift. I'm not sure how everyone else is doing, though I do know one other colleague of mine has accepted a contract. We didn't have a specific hiring day, which was fine because getting exposure to companies is not really a problem in this industry. If you're worried about your ability to get hired, Coder Camps recently hired two in-house recruiters which was an aggressive move to boost their already impressive graduate employment numbers.
