Launch School Experiences: The Beginning
1 min readMay 17, 2021
I am nearing the end of completing RB101 — the first true course of the launch school curriculum and feeling like I found the right place for me to learn to code. A few major takeaways:
- Always read the questions/prompts thoroughly. If you do not understand the question or problem you are trying to solve, you will always come to incorrect conclusions.
- Every problem can be broken up into a smaller problem. Don’t get overwhelmed
- Take your time, walk away if you don’t understand at first and come back with a clear mind
- Take breaks — you can’t code for forever (even if you want to) and your boyfriend will get mad at you if you don’t take breaks
- Find a focused spot to study. If you’re not in the right frame of mind you likely wont be as productive as you want to be, leading to frustration
More to come…
