Pair Programming Sessions
Join the Codesmith community for our weekly free pair programming sessions!
Pair programming is central to Codesmith's learning style because it strengthens your ability to problem solve and technically communicate with others while building with code. During pair programming, each partner takes on a role – driver or navigator – to solve a programming challenge. If you're looking to prepare for our programs, these sessions offer a chance to focus on the concepts we assess in the technical interview.
All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged.
