Join the Codesmith community in this pair programming workshop. Pair programming is a core part of the Codesmith learning experience, and this workshop is a great opportunity to practice this skill. Coders of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join! Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our website to receive the Zoom link!

​Here’s what to expect:

• We’ll kick off with a quick intro to pair programming and tips on how to enhance your technical communication.
• Then, you’ll be paired up with someone of a similar coding level to work on a challenge—one person will be the driver, writing the code, while the other will be the navigator, guiding the logic.
• Plus, a mentor will be on hand to help you work through any blocks that come up.
• Please note that you’ll need a working microphone in order to participate, and make sure to join on time as you’ll be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.

If this is your first time trying pair programming, we recommend reviewing Codesmith’s guide on How to Technically Communicate to get the most out of the session. Take advantage of this session to practice key programming skills, build confidence, and connect with fellow learners!

Join us in this workshop, where you’ll learn how to interact with the Spotify Web API to access music data—from tracks and artists to playlists and more. Along the way, you’ll explore the importance of great documentation, how to handle asynchronous requests, and how APIs power modern applications. Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our website to receive the Zoom link!

What you’ll learn:
✅ How to read and implement third-party API documentation
✅ Using fetch and async/await to make API calls
✅ Practical insights into building data-driven web apps
Leave with a mini project and the skills to build with real-world data!

Is this workshop right for you?
This session is especially valuable if you’re interested in web development and want to see how real-world applications are built. You’ll get hands-on with callbacks, object-oriented programming, asynchronous JavaScript and the Fetch API, all through the lens of the Spotify Web API. We recommend having some comfort with these fundamentals - but no worries if you don’t! You’re absolutely welcome to join if you’re curious and eager to learn.
