What we’re about
Build with Code is a community of coders organized by Codesmith. We host free weekly HTML & CSS, JavaScript, software engineering and career-oriented workshops through immersive lectures and pair-programming sessions. Welcome!
Join our community to learn beginner to advanced JavaScript concepts live-streamed online! Most of our events posted will be taking place in the Pacific Time Zone!
We offer a range of workshops, including:
• Web Development Fundamentals & Intro to JavaScript: This workshop series covers the foundation of all web development from HTML & CSS, to variables, looping and functions.
• JavaScript the Hard Parts: Go under-the-hood of more complex JavaScript concepts like callbacks, higher-order functions (functional programming with JavaScript), object-oriented programming, closure, scope and execution context.
• Build a Web App Series: Learn concepts like Dom Manipulation and React by building your own web app in under 2 hours
• How to Get Hired as a Software Engineer: Led by Codesmith CEO and Frontend Masters instructor Will Sentance, you’ll learn the five skills that you must have in order to succeed in the job search, including how to effectively whiteboard through coding interviews.
Price: Codesmith’s mission is to make coding accessible to everyone, so we offer these free workshops weekly. Open to all!

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Remote Pair Programming SessionLink visible for attendees
To complete your RSVP for this event, you must RSVP on our website. You can do so here!
Join the Codesmith community remotely for an online pair programming session! We'll start the session with an overview of what pair programming is and how to focus on improving your technical communication in the session.
All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged.
Pair programming is central to Codesmith's learning style. If you're looking to prepare for our programs, this session is a great chance to focus on the concepts we test for. We'll also have a mentor available to help you through blocks you may run into! The way we conduct pair programming involves two programmers working together with 1 workstation. One person is the driver, writing the code, and one person is the navigator, talking through the logic.
If this is your first time Pair Programming, we encourage you to review Codesmith’s Guide on How to Technically Communicate - Best Practices!
Note: You will need a functioning camera and microphone to participate. Please join early as you will be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.
Price: Always free!
Experience Level: All experience levels are welcome. We recommend getting started on our free JavaScript learning platform CSX and working on the Precourse unit before the workshop.

- Study Group: IntermediateLink visible for attendees
To complete your RSVP for this event, you must RSVP on our website. You can do so here!
Join us for a weekend study session led by our CSX Fellow and Codesmith alum, Chris K. This session is designed not only to work through a series of coding challenges but to also enhance your problem solving and technical communication skills, which are vital for excelling in technical interviews.
The art of live coding, particularly under interview conditions, is a skill set in itself. Being able to articulate your thought process technically is a stepping stone towards becoming a well-rounded engineer. In this session you’ll have the chance to solve technical challenges with the support and encouragement of your fellow learners, simulating a real interview process!
We encourage everyone to share their knowledge, questions, and insights. Hope to see you there!
Experience Level: Intermediate. We recommend learners be at or beyond the Callbacks unit of CSX.
