"I had a phenomenal three months at Codesmith. The amount of support I received by all my peers and the staff was outstanding. I had a much different experience studying Computer Science in college. My CS classes there focused more on theory, and at Codesmith I learned technologies that I've been able to implement immediately on the job."

"The residency teaches you not only the core curriculum but also what it means to be someone of value personally and professionally. You eventually learn to leverage grit, frustration, mentorship, and perseverance as traits that are going to make you invaluable as an engineer."

"Codesmith's project-centered and communication-oriented approach prepared me for a career in software engineering more any other program could have. Because the program, beyond teaching the specifics of JavaScript, is aimed at educating students to think like a developer, I was able to pick up a different language (Python) I use at work within weeks of being hired by Netflix."

"The skills that you learn at Codesmith are what market is actually looking for. They also update the curriculum every cohort to follow the fast-changing tech industry standard. What makes Codesmith stand out from other bootcamps, however, is the people. Thanks to Codesmith, I was able to receive an offer from my dream company."

"Codesmith students are required to deep-dive into one particular technology that teaches them to critically assess issues and think of solutions to technical problems. Codesmith delivered all the resources I needed, and I was able to interview at multiple top tech companies and am now working at one of the largest tech companies in LA."

"After I graduated, the support never stopped. The team checks in with me regularly and there's a career coach available 24/7 and willing to answer any questions you have. I am so thankful that I made the decision to join Codesmith and it was really a life-changing experience."

"As a comp sci major, I was able to build up knowledge of real-world technologies that complimented my theoretical foundation and market myself as a problem-solving generalist with relevant development experience. To a current software engineer, Codesmith is a place to transition into a more in-demand tech stack while building the communication skills of a senior-level developer."

"I attended a bootcamp long before I found Codesmith, which puts me in the rare position to be able to draw from actual experience in order to compare Codesmith to other programs. Looking back, I realize that all the knowledge I gained from that bootcamp really only prepared me to be eligible to interview with Codesmith."
