I decided to enroll in Capstone because I wanted to take on a larger engineering project. I ended up getting a job as an SDE II with a great salary and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Launch School to anyone interested in software development as a career. It has been truly life changing.

I can't really say enough how much I value the experience I had going through both Launch School Core Curriculum and their Capstone program. When I started Core, I had just a little bit of development experience, and my knowledge and understanding of programming was very limited. I wanted a deep understanding of programming fundamentals that would provide me a solid foundation for a career as a software engineer.

I worked through the Ruby track, and each of the course units gave me another in depth piece of that solid foundation. The mastery-based learning approach really works and at the end of each unit, I felt like I truly learned the material. By the end of Core, I felt like I had all of the tools I needed to write good code, problem solve, and put all the pieces together to make full stack web applications. Most importantly, I felt confident that I could go out and learn new technologies and languages on my own and grow as a developer.

I decided to enroll in Capstone because I wanted to take on a larger engineering project and was impressed with the projects that I had seen from previous cohorts. It felt like an investment that would jump start my career. The experience was 100% worth it. By the end, I felt like my knowledge and experience had doubled and that I was truly prepared for the job hunt and a career as a software engineer. I ended up getting a job as an SDE II with a great salary and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Launch School to anyone interested in software development as a career. It has been truly life changing.
