Code Chrysalis

It's not for beginners but if you have passion of learning software skills I think you can make it till the end of this course. All my peers were struggling with everything but they made it.

In my case, I have an experience of programming for about 6 years... Read More so actually I focused on getting communication skills in English. But I learned modern software development skills a lot such as TDD, Heroku CI, GraphQL and so on.

The reason why I put rate 4 in "Overall Experience" and "Curriculum" is that I felt easy in the beginning of this course but it was getting more difficult.

Code Chrysalis provided us with much more than a regular full-stack bootcamp will probably do. I was able to acquire all the backend skills(I was a frontend developer) that I was hoping to learn, but also there were great opportunities that I didn't expect... Read More to have before the course. I'll mention 3 of them.

(1) Learn how to learn - You get to learn how to learn new things and how to solve problems by yourself. Asking others for answers is easy but it doesn't help you to grow as an engineer.
(2) TDD & CI・CD - You get to learn TDD throughout the course, and CI/CD using Heroku pipeline in team projects. Experience these modern development technics was pretty amazing for me.
(3) Real world activities - We were so lucky to have so many activities including a lean startup methodology workshop at Pivotal Japan, an interview with a foodbank NPO, guest talks about UX, the cultual differences between Japanese and American in a business setting etc, a collaboration project with RakutenMap. Can't name all...

If you like challenges, want to learn modern technics and enjoy to expand your knowledge outside of the technology, this course is highly recommended:)

For me it was a good experience to be on that environment with those people trying to learn new things specially important skills

They really try to make you a good full stack app developers and they care about you and your problem

If you join them, you... Read More will find them a nice people in a good environment too.

I came into this program with a strong computer science background but weak web development experience. This course as purported goes back-to-front covering all the messy details of creating a modern web app framework to completion. The second half of... Read More the course is dedicated to creating individual and collaborative full stack projects in an Agile workflow. Instructor quality is high and selected students are friendly and passionate. Worth every penny.

Intense but rewarding course. Not for beginners. I was a backend engineer and I joined because I wanted to be a full-stack developer. Learned a lot and really appreciate all the help and opportunities the company and the instructors offered us. The location... Read More of the classroom is in downtown Tokyo, so very convenient. The course is taught in English. Outside of tech the personal branding and carer planning parts of the course was also extremely useful. If you're looking to go hard and acquire advanced skillsets, consider taking this course.
