I landed a 6 figure job, which was much more than I expected. Prior to accepting the offer, I was telling recruiters/employers I was looking for $75-80k/yr. After a couple of weeks of interviewing, I was turning down offers at that dollar amount. During my interviews, I was complimented several times on my Problem Solving abilities using the techniques provided by Launch School. The coding challenges were actually much easier than the problem sets Launch School provides.

After completing the back-end curriculum, I applied to one dream job, and I got it!

Though I was skeptical at first, trusting the process and basing my knowledge on problem-solving and fundamental skills has paid dividends. The problem-solving skills I picked up while attending Launch School have made me not only a more competent web developer but also a more competent person.

The thing with Launch School is once you are done, you will realize just how fundamentally necessary everything is. Suffice to say, I have finished the core curriculum and was promoted to a DevOps engineer at my current company.

I realized that Launch School sees learning software development as a lifelong journey of mastering a craft, not learning to code in three months in order to land a job. Launch School is honest and transparent with what they offer.

If you cannot do Capstone for whatever reasons, let me assure you that the Core Curriculum is more than enough to prepare you for a successful entry into the software engineering world.

This could be the program for you if you're looking for something that's more on the hardcore end of the spectrum

The biggest take away that I got from Launch School was confidence. I solve software engineering problems for a living and every day I reach back to the patterns that I learned here.

Suffice to say, I'm excelling at my job and it's all thanks to a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and Launch School.

Aside from being a good resource for beginners, Launch School has proven transformational to me as a prior startup founder with a few years of programming experiences and a MS in Software Engineering

Launch School has given me the belief that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to; perhaps the most valuable lesson of all

I've gained the attitude of constantly looking for better ways to do things, understanding my tools more deeply and working to become a better developer

It is clear that the Launch School team really cares about offering the best program they can

I even believe I've learned how to learn better, and I've become a better problem-solver in general throughout the coursework

I got a different role making significantly more than twice what I had been making as a 'web specialist', putting me firmly in six-figure

There was never a moment when I felt as though I was glossing over a key detail and that aspect of the program gave me the confidence to tackle increasingly difficult problems as the months went by

It was the best investment of my time that I made. Even better than going to university!

Launch School has already given me not only the ability to create full stack web applications from scratch - it's also given me the confidence to get a new job writing code and solving problems

Launch School gave me all of the core tools I needed to start building meaningful, useful software applications

Launch School truly prepares you to be an asset on day one of a real job in the industry.

Launch School doesn’t just teach you the fundamentals of programming and web development, but it also gives you the tools and context to learn anything you want to learn on your own

I'd like to share my experience with new Launch Schoolers, don't doubt, trust Launch School, follow the syllabus, make your efforts, your decision is 100% correct

I've been working as a Rails developer for almost 2 years now. It's quite likely that I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't chosen Launch School.

This programme opened possibilities for me that would have taken me years to reach

Taking this program is one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

I landed what I consider being the perfect junior ruby developer job before even finishing the program

In the end I landed a great job after I completed my study at Launch School

In the end I truly believe that Launch School changed my life

Signing up for Launch School was a life-defining moment for me

I still can't believe that I went from a job that was basically shuffling papers to a job that lets me build an app for Olympic games

Bottom line, complete this program and you will have all the skills you need to land a job or build your own products

After only 3 weeks of finishing the program I was working full time as a Jr Developer in an amazing company in downtown Toronto

This is the course to go for to get a concrete foundation on programming

It's probably the best investment (time and money) I did for myself in a long time

This program is by far the most advanced, cost effective way of learning how to be a real programmer and get paid like one

I highly recommend Launch School's program for anyone who wants to learn how to code and land a job as a software engineer

The ones that I had on my short list were Bloc.io, Thinkful, General Assembly, and Launch School. I chose Launch School because it was the only one that was forcused on building students a robust foundation and because its model allowed me to work through the courses at my own pace

If you are considering doing a bootcamp or any sort of online course to become a web developer, you have found the one - Launch School

The true value of this course is actually learning how to think like a developer, how to approach your problems, and how to seek out the answers

If you're really considering becoming a Web developer from scratch, this is the right place for you

I highly recommend Launch School for beginners to web development or programming in general

In just 2 months after completing the last course and submersing myself into the local Rails community, I got an offer as a Rails developer from a Fortune 100 company
