Codesmith

Codesmith is a software engineering and machine learning academy in Los Angeles teaching full stack JavaScript, computer science, software engineering and machine learning. Based on the Oxford University educational paradigm of immersive independent learning combined with mentorship, the curriculum is primarily project-based, using pair programming to create a unique environment of “guided problem solving.”

Students explore Computer Science, full-stack JavaScript (notably React and Node), and software architecture required for mid-level engineering positions and above. The course also features preparatory material, extensive recruitment preparation, and ongoing support with students’ job searches.

To help prepare applicants for their interview, Codesmith offers a series of free weekly classes - Javascript the Hard Parts, free Pair-Programming sessions - all to help applicants get accepted into the program. Advisors include Walter Mattli (Oxford University) and Tom Occhino (Head of React at Facebook).
