Our Students

Savvy Coders are hard workers with an interest in technology, curious about how to acquire the skills they need to work with the Web in useful ways. Savvy Coders is designed for folks looking to keep their day job while learning what you need to know about web development, with classes offered after work from 6pm-9pm every evening during the week.

If you're willing to put in the work, the results will speak for themselves. To get started, keep scrolling to go to our application link.

Savvy Coders is also committed to ensuring that our introductory classes take the intimidation out of learning to code. We know that not everyone is looking to become a software engineer full-time, or is ready to commit to 4 years of college or thousands of dollars in tuition at a months-long bootcamp. When you're ready, Savvy Coders will help you take that next step. We're here to get you started.

To learn more about Savvy Coders, come to one of our free intro sessions at the Refinery! You'll learn more about our classes, and you'll get a feel for how much there is to learn with us during our month-long course. You'll also get a chance to build your very first website and get started with your first JavaScript program. See you there!
