This is one of our most frequently asked questions amongst students considering a bootcamp over a Computer Science or technical degree! 

Bootcamps can provide students with better opportunities to break into the industry, and oftentimes see a better ROI as compared to traditional four-year schools. A software engineering immersive may be ideal for those who have little to no prior experience in the software engineering space, and want that starting point to launch their career within the industry.

Hear from Juan E, a Codesmith graduate, as he shares his insights on going through our Los Angeles Software Engineering Immersive Program as a Computer Science graduate.

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, 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. 

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

Codesmith uses several platforms to facilitate your online classroom experience. You’ll receive access and instructions before the course begins on what you’ll need to have installed. The classroom environment allows you to ask questions during the lecture, collaborate with other learners, and personalize your own learning experience through annotation and note taking capabilities.

Join our weekly JavaScript workshops, where you can learn from Codesmith instructors and learn alongside like-minded individuals!

For beginners, we recommend attending the Intro to JavaScript workshops, which are held every Tuesday night.

The JavaScript the Hard Parts workshops dive further under the hood, covering important yet often misunderstood concepts of JavaScript. Hard Parts are held every Thursday night.

Technical communication is a critical component of Codesmith's programs - tune into the Pair Programming sessions to hone your engineering soft skills with other members of the community!

While our workshops run on a pretty regular cycle, you can always head over to Codesmith's YouTube channel to follow along with the workshop recordings at your own pace.

We welcome you to review our Community Overview page for a summary of Codesmith’s diverse community ecosystem.

Ensuring that residents are in an engaging and empathic environment is important in both the in-person and remote programs. Weekly events and socials like Family Dinner, where residents give shout outs to those who went above and beyond in the last week, take place in all of our programs. We also have Circles and other various non-coding focused activities as team-building activities and mental breaks.

Inclusion & Diversity is a top priority at Codesmith. Through implicit bias workshops for residents, and scholarships for those underrepresented in the tech industry, Codesmith is committed to evening the playing field. Check out our inclusivity and diversity page for more info.

While we are excited to provide a transformative, impactful educational experience, at this time Codesmith is not accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting body. This means that federal student loan aid cannot be used in conjunction with our courses.

Codesmith is BPPE-approved in California and New York, in which our campuses are located.

Yes! Codesmith offers our complete JavaScript for Beginners course on Udemy and a  Complete JavaScript Closures Course on Udemy that is completely self-paced. 

Additionally, Codesmith is able to offer a limited number of scholarship codes for these Udemy courses. Please email us at hello@codesmith.io for a promo code so that you can explore these courses for free.

Currently, there isn’t a self-paced option for our Full- or Part-Time Software Engineering Immersive, but you’re always welcome to learn at your own pace using CSX. 

The Software Engineering Immersive takes 13 weeks (full-time) or 38 weeks (part-time). CS Prep course is 2 weeks or 31 hours in total, while JavaScript for Beginners takes place over a total of 13.5 hours on 2 consecutive Saturdays. 

The admissions process consists of an application, an Initial Interview with the Admissions team and up to three Technical Interviews with Codesmith engineers.

The application includes essay questions and an optional coding challenge. The essay questions give you space to let the Admissions team know about your software engineering aspirations and why you are interested in Codesmith’s Immersive program..

The Initial Interview is an opportunity for the Admissions team to learn more about your background and goals for after the Immersive program. This is a non-technical interview that will assess how your aspirations and values are aligned with the Immersive program.

The Technical Interview gauges your readiness and fit for the fast-paced, intense Immersive program. You will be evaluated on your JavaScript and programming knowledge, analytical problem-solving skills, and both your technical and non-technical communication. If you are invited to a Technical Interview, you will have up to three attempts to pass. Within about a week of your interview date, a Codesmith team member will schedule time with you to review your personalized feedback and next steps in the admissions process.

At each stage of the interview process, the Admissions team will evaluate your fit for the Immersive program holistically. Attend an upcoming How to Prepare for the Codesmith Technical Interview workshop to learn more about recommended preparation for the Immersive admissions process.

Codesmith’s Software Engineering Immersive program is designed for driven individuals who are ready to build a career in software engineering. The Codesmith admissions process ensures that each cohort is full of a diverse group of empathetic engineers, creating a supportive and dedicated culture. We look for candidates with strong technical potential beyond their ability to write code, including honed communication, the ability to persist through rigorous challenges, and analytical problem-solving skills.

In order to apply to our Software Engineering Immersive Programs, you must be at least 18 years of age.

All Software Engineering Immersive applicants are expected to complete CSX (Codesmith’s free online learning platform), regularly attend JavaScript the Hard Parts workshops and Pair Programming Sessions, and review Codesmith’s Guide to Technical Communication. 

If you prefer more structure in your preparation, we recommend checking out our Prep Programs, JavaScript for Beginners and CS Prep.

Review our recommended prep plan for more information on how to prepare for the Codesmith admissions process.

If you applied to the wrong program, let your Admissions Coordinator know so they can transfer your application. If you are open to multiple locations depending on availability (for example, both the East Coast Remote and Central Remote programs), you may let your Admissions Coordinator know, but the admissions process is the same for all locations and you may only have one application open at a time. If you are accepted to the program, you may transfer your acceptance to an upcoming start date for another location if there is availability.

The admissions process for the  Immersive program is challenging—individual preparation plans and timelines can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, including your prior programming experience, career background, participation in Codesmith's community and workshops, and ability to grow as an engineer from personalized feedback. 

Our cohorts receive a high number of applications, so they often fill up ahead of deadlines. A majority of applicants do not pass their first technical interview, so we recommend applying at least 3-4 months in advance of your ideal start date. 

Due to limited availability, we also recommend having 1-2 backup start dates in mind and not making any major life plans dependent upon cohort start dates unless you've been officially accepted to the program. 

Once you've submitted an Immersive program application, your Admissions Coordinator will be able to advise as you build an individual preparation plan and can give guidance on an ideal timeline based on your background and availability.

Our team reviews every application and typically follows up with next steps within about 2-5 business days from the date you applied. Keep an eye on your inbox and be sure to check your spam folder if you haven’t heard back in that time frame.

If you still haven’t heard back, you can reach out to the Admissions Advisor at admissionsadvisor@codesmith.io, and they will be able to connect you with the correct team member to receive next steps.

Both Initial and Technical Interviews can easily be canceled or rescheduled using the links provided in the Google Calendar event for the interview. Barring emergencies, interviews must be canceled or rescheduled at least 48 hours in advance. For Technical Interviews, if you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours notice or if you do not join the video call, it may count as an interview attempt. Please note that your interviewer will wait in the Google Meet room for a maximum of five minutes — after 5 minutes, you will be considered as a no show for your interview and will be asked to reschedule.

If you are having issues joining the Google Meet room or there is not an interviewer on the call, please reach out to your Admissions Coordinator as soon as possible.

Our curriculum is designed and maintained on Mac computers and utilizes a lot of technology that is designed to work well with Mac's Unix based OS. For this reason, we strongly recommend using a Mac for the Immersive program. If you choose to use a non-Mac, you'll need to install and learn Linux (such as WSL) on the machine of your choice. While we always recommend purchasing the best computer you can afford, any working new or used Mac will work for the program, including the MacBook and MacBook Air.

In order to whiteboard effectively, we also recommend having an iPad and iPencil (or similar tablet drawing device). We've seen this greatly improve collaboration between pair programming partners, but it is not required.

If you have additional questions about equipment recommendations, please contact your Admissions Coordinator or the Admissions Advisor at admissionsadvisor@codesmith.io.

In order to hit the ground running from day one, we require admitted residents to complete a precourse that covers many of the basics and challenges them to think critically about problem solving and web development. Topics include core functional and object-oriented concepts in JavaScript, building web pages in HTML and CSS, and designing algorithms. Residents also begin using a few of the tools they will use as software engineers, including Git/Github, Bash, and test driven learning. Office hours and additional support are available to residents during this phase.

A high school diploma or college degree are not required to participate in the Software Engineering Immersive, but incoming residents must be at least 18 years of age in order to apply.

Codesmith is committed to providing an accessible interview process to applicants. If you would like to request interview accommodations, you may reach out to the Codesmith Admissions Team to discuss potential plans.

Codesmith is committed to fostering a close-knit community as much as we are to ensuring that residents receive a top-notch software engineering education.

Community traditions include Monday Night Family Dinners (Full-Time Immersive) and Saturday Shout Outs & Snacks (Part-Time Immersive), where residents and team members gather to connect over a meal or snack together, while taking moments to recognize members of their cohort who have gone above and beyond to support them and the broader community over the past week.

Residents also engage in a variety of cohort-bonding activities, which can range from Movie Nights and Relay Races to Talent Shows and Karaoke Contests, providing opportunities to get to know and spend time with one another outside of coding.

These are just a few opportunities that we provide for our residents to build relationships with one another throughout the program — oftentimes, residents even build upon this, scheduling happy hours and lunchtime activities on their own!

When we call Codesmith an intensive program, we really mean it. We have designed the curriculum to provide the core components of a computer science degree and internship-level technical experience within the program. While the Codesmith day is Monday through Saturday 9am to 8pm, many students (and even instructors) stay long past 8pm in the evening. With students spending 100+ hours per week coding. Prior to the program start date, you'll also complete an additional 3 units of material, covering HTML, CSS, algorithms, and more.

Codesmith keeps our kitchen in NYC regularly stocked with breakfast foods and snacks. Beyond that, you will be responsible for arranging your own food and housing. There are many restaurants, fast food and fast casual places around Codesmith that provide residents with a plethora of food options.

For living situations, Codesmith’s team is happy to help students with advice and potential apartment mates. New students have often ended up sharing accommodations, especially if they weren't local before joining Codesmith.

At this time we are not offering drop-in onsite tours of the facilities, but you’re welcome to join our in-person Hard Parts workshops on Thursday evenings to connect with other coders and see the space. 

Career support is available for life for all Codesmith graduates. Whether it’s your first, second or third job after graduation, we are here to help!

Codesmith grads stand out in their job search for a number of reasons. During the program, residents are trained to have strong technical communication and work on Open Source Products that aim to solve similar problems developers face on the job in mid-senior level roles. Additionally, the hiring portion of the program walks Codesmith residents through each step of the interviewing process, and prepares them to be strong candidates in the job market. All Codesmith outcomes are third party audited before being submitted to the Council of Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR), the industry standard for placement stats across the coding school space.

Networking day is a virtual lightning round interview event hosted by Codesmith during the senior’s hiring program. The event is not impacted by COVID, as all calls are fully remote. The event connects residents with engineers working in the field for 15-20 minute calls. Some companies that frequent networking days include Google, Facebook, Bloomberg, IBM, PayPal, and TicketMaster. Through these one-on-one conversations students are able to form connections and be referred to mid and senior level software engineering roles.

Graduates do not typically continue working on their projects post-graduation, but that is a personal choice for you to make because team members own the projects they create. Some graduates will continue to maintain their projects at a lower capacity, while others have gone on to create their own startups based on their Open Source Products.

Projects don’t have to be JavaScript specific, but many are! Some groups have chosen to use other technologies, frameworks or languages - such as Docker, GraphQL, Vue, and Kafka.

Even though we teach JavaScript, our pedagogy allows residents to pick up new programming languages quickly especially because many languages are similar which makes them easy to learn.

Groups typically have 3-5 members. Each group is formed using preference forms which allow residents to list any cohort mates they'd prefer to work with. Groups are also formed based on the interest of the individuals on the type of tool they want to build or technology that they want to work with. Daily Scrum, standups, and project management tools are also utilized to help prepare residents for their future careers.

Yes, all of our Open Source Products are open source on Github. We encourage pull requests, which will be reviewed appropriately by the engineering team managing the Product.

Residents will build five coding projects in the Immersive program, which will take up approximately ⅔ of the program time. Projects are integral to Codesmith’s pedagogy and are key to facilitating deeper learning of the curriculum and better equip residents for their future careers as Software Engineers.

We help guide Residents on product topics and ask that residents submit a case on why they believe their product will be impactful. This helps ensure that products benefit the greater developer community, are a good opportunity for professional development, and are within scope. Mentors are also assigned to help support in the process from start to finish.

Codesmith is committed to open source and proud to be a featured Open Source Labs partner.

Open Source Labs (OSLabs) is a selective community of dedicated engineers with the shared mission of driving creative technological advances through open source.

Open Source Products are great for those who want to improve their coding skills while at the same time contributing to projects in a meaningful way that is used by many others. Codesmith’s commitment to open source and pushing forward the engineering community means that we encourage Open Source Products done in partnership with organizations like OSLabs, which hosts Open Source Products that our residents are able to iterate on. The OSLabs Github features Open Source Products that Codesmith Residents can iterate upon.

Yes, we’ve worked with many partner organizations and companies. If you are interested in collaborating please email hello@codesmith.io. Some examples of previous Open Source Products that are out of Beta are:

YouDescribe, an online platform where users can describe youtube videos to aid those who need more than solely the video for context.

First Freight, a leading CRM provider for freight forwarding companies in the world, approached Codesmith Residents to build a custom email automation service. While there are a few services that already handle email automation - First Freight was looking for a solution that integrated deeply with their existing system. The team built an email automation tool for their marketing department that was simple to use and provided all the analytics necessary to make informed business decisions.

For more information, visit our Projects Built by Residents page.

Future Code is designed to be no-cost to make transitioning careers to SE more accessible, however, we know everyone has unique circumstances. We have a minimum 90% attendance requirement and students must be available during the program's hours. As it is a full-time schedule, working a role outside of those hours may be unsustainable. While we don't forbid folks from working, we encourage them to really think about the best decision for their success and health.In order to make long-term career training more accessible to more individuals, the Tech Talent Pipeline, and the Department of Small Business Services will be providing, for eligible participants, a living stipend during training. Eligibility for the stipend can be discussed through the Admissions process.

As of right now, we have one cohort scheduled this year (starting July 29) and we are hoping to launch more cohorts in the future. If this cohort's dates don't work for you, we encourage you to submit this interest form. Once we have more to announce, we will share with the community. You can still submit an application for Future Code NYC x Codesmith here and talk with our admissions team more about your specific circumstance.

You can also check out our Software Engineering Immersive Program dates here. We have programs starting for our Software Engineering Immersive Program every six weeks.

Yes! If you don't have access to a computer, the Future Code team will work with you through the Admissions Process to adapt for your circumstances. For the program itself, we can also provide laptops for folks who need them. We don't want equipment to be a barrier of entry. If you are in need of other equipment, we are happy to chat and will try our best to support you in what you need to be successful in the program.

Future Code is specifically for New York City residents who meet certain requirements regarding previous work and education experience and income. If you don’t meet these requirements, you might be a great candidate for our Software Engineering Immersive (available in both full and part time). 

While folks applying to the program have come from such a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences, ultimately, everyone will need to meet eligibility. For this program, there are multiple checks regarding eligibility--in the application, during the initial interview, and in order to fully enroll (after being accepted).

In the first checks we ask for written and verbal confirmation applicants meet requirements. For those who are accepted to enroll, the City of New York will be requiring eligibility documentation to finalize enrollment. Failure to do so by the due date would mean they lose their spot.

Nope! Our weekly workshops are always free.
