Launch School's Capstone program was the metaphorical ""cherry on top"" in my journey to becoming a software engineer. The mastery-based CORE curriculum ensured I gained a deep understanding of software fundamentals, and the Capstone program elevated my capabilities to a professional level. Capstone provided the pathway for me to learn how to design and build complex software systems that solve real-world problems.
