| | Tolga Eyidemir | Codesmith is a revolutionary school. They are not just teaching students to be great engineers, but also implements and encourages everyone to grow as a team and contribute greatly to the society. It is a top notch education program that provides in-depth knowledge in all aspects of software engineering by experienced, amicable and genuine staff and instructors. Once you are in, whether a person is an instructor or a student, everyone becomes part of a big community that supports and encourages each other regardless of the individual's experience level, knowledge or ethnic background. This is not a regular bootcamp school, you literally get to receive ivy league university education. |
| | Scott Burman | So you should go into the Codesmith program already knowing about some Javascript. It's a good thing they talk to you beforehand and have many free tutorials online that you can study before immersing your into the CS prep. They teach you a lot of valuable tools, give you ample time to pair program, and really get you set for the whole coding process. Always there for you and do a great job of community building. Highly recommended. |
| | Frank Norton | I had been doing a lot of work on my own and felt like I was cutting through frozen butter. I was making progress but every step took a lot of work and I had some bruises on my forehead from my desk. CS Prep gave me a glowing hot knife. I have a much better foundation and toolset for moving forward. It's hard to know what you don't know but CS Prep and my cohort helped shine a light on the foundations.
The pair-programming we did was also fantastic. I learned the most from these sessions. Whether it was with someone more advanced than myself or someone struggling to understand the concepts, I walked away miles ahead of where I started. The pedagogy of the assignments was also great at creating those lasting "aha!" moments.
I definitely recommend the program, especially if you are aiming to get into a bootcamp (especially Codesmith). |
