	Junie	As someone who has only been coding for a little over a month, this course was very challenging. I was overwhelmed at times, but the support I got from the instructor and classmates were extraordinary. My instructor Sophie was incredibly responsive and supportive. She made sure I understood everything I had questions on. I have learned so much in these short two weeks that i never thought I could achieve. After this course I am 100% positive that Codesmith is the way to go. I've applied for the immersive program and I will continue my education here in Codesmith. I highly recommend this course!
	Carlos Botero-Vargas	Codesmith is an environment where knowledge is built upon hard work, indeed, but most importantly, kindness. In all my time there I never received but words of encouragement, inspiration, and guidance. Every instructor and volunteer seem fully committed to you understanding why code works the way it does, not simply gimmicks or fancy tricks. The curriculum is filtered through best practices, truly modern approach, and updated technical background, so you hit the ground running on your way to land that first job. Most importantly, you learn to incorporate new developments on JavaScript into your toolbox, to remain on the cutting edge of both the industry and the top echelon of professionals. My appreciation of the profession and its growth greatly improved upward by the long hours invested in the course, but the results speak for themselves, the accompaniment I've received inspires me to work harder everyday to accomplish my life goals and make my instructors proud. Truly, I can not recommend every course offered by Codesmith enough, there is where your hard work produces generous fruit.
	Brian Grosso	Codesmith is the best bootcamp for 1 major reason and then a bunch of others - the biggst thing is the focus on building engineers > technicians. You are actively encouraged NOT to look up code blocks on stack overflow but instead use documentation, pair programming, and the extensive support network to get the hard learning needed. I participated in CSPrep, the two week part-time pre-bootcamp prep program, and am eagerly preparing for the bootcamp itself. Codesmith is incredible for a few reasons. First their approach which involves building a complete, rock-solid foundation including understanding what is going on under the hood with the javascript engine using diagramming of the callstack, thread of execution, execution context, and memory, and precise technical language is great. Second, instruction is interactive and socratic and I can attest, as a current teacher, that the instructors know all of the good teacher moves. Finally the culture of everyone struggling through hard learning and not looking up code, pair programming and answering each other's questions and being kind and generous and supportive made me feel at home and overcome imposter syndrome. Codesmith is a community it is hard NOT to want to be a part of. This is a mission driven organization that has genuine educational motives at the forefront. I <3 Codesmith!
