If you’re looking to expand on your knowledge and dive into programming concepts under the hood, our intermediate and advanced workshops are the right place for you. These workshops will help you expand on complex coding challenges, work on problem solving skills, enhance your technical communication, and clear up some of the admittedly more confusing aspects of JavaScript.

Our intermediate and advanced workshops are open to all levels but we recommend having foundational knowledge of programming

Experience level: Intermediate & Advanced

Duration: 2.5 hours 

Intermediate Topics: Closure, Scope & Execution Context; Callbacks & Higher Order Functions; Recursion

Advanced Topics: Object Oriented Programming; Async; AI 

Community coding is essential for becoming a Software Engineer. One form is pair programming, where two engineers solve a challenge together. The “Navigator” explains the code aloud while the “Driver” writes it. This constant communication deepens their understanding of the concept.

Another form is study groups, where individuals at similar knowledge levels tackle coding challenges together. Study groups enhance problem-solving and technical communication skills, both vital for software engineering.

Community coding is for all skill levels. In fact, working with someone of different expertise strengthens engineering practices, fosters empathy, improves technical communication, and builds confidence.

Experience level: All levels welcome 

Duration: 1 hour 

Topics: Closure, Scope & Execution Context; Callbacks & Higher Order Functions; Recursion, Object Oriented Programming
