Launch School

I studied at Launch School, a mastery-based software engineering program focused on long-term retention of fundamentals: Ruby, object-oriented design, HTTP, networking, SQL, JavaScript, and problem solving.

Applications Built During the Program

Todo Lists — Sinatra

A small full-stack web app that lets users create multiple lists and manage todos. Built in Ruby + Sinatra during the networking/database applications module.

  • RESTful routes and ERB templates
  • State stored in encrypted sessions
  • Validation, forms, and flash messages
