About Codeworks
Codeworks is an immersive coding bootcamp with campuses across several cities worldwide. You can attend their courses in-person at one of the available locations, or remotely from wherever you are. Programs include 8-week and 12-week full-time software... Read More
All programs cover HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node, Express, Angular, and React, as well as SQL and NoSQL databases. The 12-week course also covers DevOps, continuous deployment, and systems architecture.
The courses are divided into two sections: theory and advanced programming topics, and applied learning through building complete products. Codeworks aims to help students build complex apps and gain an advanced understanding of JavaScript. Graduates should be able to build entire applications and contribute to coding projects of any size.
Codeworks is tailored for people at any level with a three-part program process. To apply, candidates must first pass an admission challenge. Applicants with no previous coding experience are offered a remote intro course which covers programming fundamentals, basic JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and more. Once admitted into the program, students complete an 8-week, remote pre-course covering intermediate programming topics like jQuery, Git, Developer tools, and intro to APIs. Once students pass the pre-course, they can start the main programming course.
All Codeworks programs include hiring events at the end of the course, including portfolio preparation and tech interview training. Finally, all graduates receive lifelong career support, and become part of an international network of alumni and partner companies.

"Intense immersive Javascript course"
I was lucky enough to get into the 2nd cohort that started in November. We're a small group, which I think is a big plus. The knowledge the teaching staff has of Javascript and programming in general is impressive. They're able to give us an overview... Read More
It's definitely an intense and exhausting schedule, but it amazes me how much we managed to cover. It often felt like we didn't have enough time for concepts to sink in, but over time, after working through exercises, things eventually start to click. Otherwise, students took extra time to watch videos or go thru tutorials online to supplement what was given in class lectures. Instructors normally had a sense of when we weren't following the material, so they took the time to explain things further individually, or provide additional lectures to the entire group, and often gave us more time to work on exercises.
I alluded to it before, but one thing to note is that most of the learning materials and tools we were given just consisted of online documentation and tutorials. I believe the intent was to ensure we were comfortable reading through documentation and doing research independently, which is what we would likely be doing in a real-world context on the job anyhow. Another thing to be aware of is that although the course is taught in English, some of the staff aren’t native English speakers, so accents can be rather thick. Some students might potentially have trouble understanding them initially. Nonetheless, they’re all fluent in the language of Javascript, and make an effort to communicate and teach that clearly.
Things were pretty flexible and agile during the course. Since it’s a new program, staff were open to feedback from students, and adjusted content and schedule accordingly. There were also regular meet-ups and tech events that the school often hosted and participated in, which I enjoyed, though they did take time away from our coursework. Regardless, these events provided great networking opportunities within the Barcelona tech community.
Overall, I feel this has been a worthwhile investment of my time and money. I expected to get exposed to all that Javascript has to offer, and improve my JS dev skills. That’s definitely been the case. Highly recommend the program to anyone else wanting to do the same. My advice is to do the pre-course work early, and come prepared for a fun, yet challenging immersive JS experience.
