Sam Some context on me for reference: I aim to transition into the tech field for software development/engineering; I am working full-time in a somewhat connected position within an field, so I will go the part-time route for now given current situations with COVID. I enjoyed CS Prep and would recommend it to others. That said, this course requires foundational knowledge of JavaScript. Some exposure to functions/execution context, callbacks/higher-order functions, recursion, and closures will help you retain more information during the course as well. I found that this course doesn't teach those basics but rather provides a place to practice and flesh out thoughts/ideas with sample problems. Luckily, those basic/foundational materials are free on Codesmith's YouTube channel and are indeed helpful. If you (like me) did not have that exposure to the concepts I mentioned previously, then you'll struggle but can catch up over time with enough work. The best part about CS Prep was the pair programming and inherent networking within their Slack channel. The pairing was by far what helped me learn the best.
