"An inclusive group with a growth mindset"
Whenever people ask me what I recommend to get started with coding, I tell them about CodeSmith. CodeSmith has a ton of free resources to get started. You can get started with CSX a free course which teaches you the basics of JavaScript and culminates... Read More
I mention all of the free resources because I think it's indicative of the philosophy of CodeSmith - it feels like an incredibly inclusive and supportive group that encourages you to put the work in and approach things with a growth mindset. From the very beginning when they interviewed me, they tested my basic JavaScript abilities, but more importantly, they wanted to see that I could communicate what was happening with the code.
In the curriculum, we learned the basics of data structures and did a series of projects with partners, groups, and sometimes by ourselves. This was to help us learn how to code, but it was also a moment for us to learn what we're good at and what areas we have room to grow. If several people tell you that you are hard to work with for whatever reason - it's a moment for you to grow and become better.
Arguably the best part was that the last 2-4 weeks of the program was spent going over hiring, interviewing, and negotiating. You get a ton of support after you graduate as well as life-long friends.
