![]() My name is Karly Lamm, a now-former LC101 student, and passionate techie. My experience with LaunchCode has been both gripping and stimulating. Personally, LaunchCode for me was a bridge in a time of career uncertainty for myself. I was working as a barista, serving java instead of writing it, and defined myself as a hobbiest in search of my passion. With LaunchCode I’ve discovered that passion! I have completed one of the hardest parts of my career- the foundations. The best part of accomplishing the foundations is that you get to choose what to build and break on top of that, and somewhere between building and breaking is where we find our dreams and as Walt Disney said “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them!” During LaunchCode, I harnessed the foundations of using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, Angular, Java, and SpringBoot. Overall, I found Java to be my weakest point of execution; however, I found it in me to not give up and conquer this course. To put in perspective, if this course were a jungle of viney paths, I would have gotten through Javascript with a machete, and through Java with a butter knife. Regardless of the tool, I was successful in reaching the end, one just required a bit more time. For myself, the most important concepts I’ll take from LC101 into my career is not necessarily just languages and frameworks we’ve learned, but the ability to work on projects with others, learn more efficiently, and how to be a great googler..Which I think many developers have found to be an underrated skill! Thank you LaunchCode and all of the TAs that have helped me on this journey! I look forward to finding a driven team of like-minded individuals to work with and learn from.
