Create The Career And Life You Want With Codesmith

JavaScript is the language of the modern web. It has enabled many of the revolutionary experiences created over the past 5 years, from Google Maps to Spotify. However, historically, it has needed to be paired with something else like Python to build out full applications.

The emergence of server-side JavaScript means developers can now create rich, lightning-fast applications in pure JavaScript from end-to-end.

Focusing primarily on a single language to learn CS concepts, front-end development, and back-end development is a crucial part of what makes the extraordinary rate of learning during the program possible.

The Full-Time Software Engineering Immersive runs for 3 months, and teaches a full-stack JavaScript curriculum designed to prepare residents for mid- to senior-level roles in software engineering. Besides the timing and the location, the Full-Time Immersive is identical to the Part-Time Remote Software Engineering Immersive that takes place over 38 weeks, with the same core curriculum, projects, hiring support, and collaborative culture. 

Codesmith also offers a Data Science and Machine Learning Immersive, which launches its Beta cohort in April. You can learn more about the program and curriculum here. 

For more information on the differences between the programs, we welcome you to explore our Programs Overview page.

Year after year, Codesmith continues to lead in the number of graduates hired as mid- and senior-level software engineers, as well as median starting salaries and percentage hired full-time in the software engineering industry.

Codesmith's Immersive Program challenges residents to think like engineers rather than just technicians, even before they are accepted; technical communication and analytical problem solving skills being at the forefront of evaluation, followed by their JavaScript knowledge.

This foundation continues to be built upon as residents are introduced to various approaches to develop their skills, from Hack Hours and Tech Talks to several student-led projects during the program.

By graduation, residents are able to leverage all of these moving pieces in their job search, conveying their capabilities to succeed as leaders in the software engineering space. Codesmith alumni are employed at top companies such as Amazon, Google, Netflix, and American Express, as well as other game changers in the tech space like Hulu, Hyperloop, Riot Games, and Blizzard Entertainment.
