About Smart Coding School

Smart Coding School is a computer science education school established by David S. Liu in March 2016. We develop computer science & engineering curriculum and offer courses for middle school and high school students (12 ~ 18 years old), and mainly provide Java Programming, data structures and algorithms, computer science A AP Test Prep and USA Computing Olympiad (USACO) training courses. In 2017 Computer Science A AP Test, there are 95% students receiving 5 out of 5 scores. Many students successfully got into Platinum, Gold and Silver level in USA Computing Olympiad competition. In the local coding competitions, our students took 2nd place in the advanced level and 1st place in the intermediate level.

Smart Coding School is powered by passionate software engineers from local top hi-tech companies such as Amazon, Microsoft. We believe that early computer science education can make a big difference for students. Our passion is to inspire kids & teens to see things differently from engineering perspectives and to believe that they can make a big impact through technology. Smart Coding School is all about students and prepare students for the future with technology.



We build our students solid foundations of computer science and programming skills. Meanwhile, we focus on approaches, methods, thoughts, algorithm. We want student to acquire the problem-solving skills such as clarification of problems, consideration of corner cases, selections of data structures, improvements of algorithms, the ways to test and verify the results. These problem-solving skills can be applied to Math, Biology, Medication, Art and anything you can imagine.

TECHNOLOGY WE USE

        Java is a professional object-oriented programming language used in high school AP® Computer Science that is the most relevant, in-demand programming languages in the job market today. Also, Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of its features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming. The syntax of Python is simplier than Java. Many young kids can easily learn Python without memorizing the complicated syntax.

HTML (HyperText Makeup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation(CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript).


Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS and beyond.
Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast. Swift is the result of the latest research on programming languages, combined with decades of experience building Apple platforms. Named parameters are expressed in a clean syntax that makes APIs in Swift even easier to read and maintain.

C# is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed around 2000 by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative.
Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies, first announced and released in June 2005 at Apple Inc.'s Worldwide Developers Conference as a Mac OS X-exclusive game engine. As of 2018, the engine had been extended to support more than 25 platforms. The engine can be used to create three-dimensional, two-dimensional, virtual reality, and augmented reality games, as well as simulations and other experiences.


Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS containing a suite of software development tools developed by Apple for developing software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Xcode is the only development platform widely used in universities and work environments for developing apps on iPhone.
Eclipse is an open source community that benefits millions of developers around the world each and every day. Eclipse's Java IDE is widely used in universities and work environments.
