The key to creating software engineers that are capable and effective in their roles is to teach more than coding. At least, that’s the model of LA-based coding bootcamp Codesmith and they appear to be doing everything right. Particularly because their graduates enjoy a 96 percent hiring rate and an average salary of approximately $103,000 per year. Now, pick your jaw up off the floor and start learning why. The immersive 12-week program is designed to address more than just coding. Because most companies claim that coding is only one fifth of the job, Codesmith makes sure to teach students the importance of significant projects. This not only creates passion in the work but makes students consider all the different aspects of computer science. And it seems to be working pretty well. While it is understandably important to demonstrate high hiring rates and substantial starting salaries, Sentance doesn’t just want to run a successful coding bootcamp. He wants to make the world a better place by inspiring and teaching the next generation of tech geniuses. And he’s off to a pretty good start. Check out some of their events and workshops to get a better idea of what they are all about, or sign up for their 12-week program on their website.
