The Missing Piece in Your Software Development Education
Traditional university and college programs teach you theory, but they miss some important practical skills you need to succeed in the industry. Most instructors haven’t worked in the field, and their goal isn’t to prepare you for the challenges of a real software development career, but rather to learn a specific skill.
That’s where DevLaunch comes in. This course bridges the gap between academic learning and professional success, teaching you about industry-proven software practices, strategies to prevent costly and embarrassing mistakes, interview success, career growth and development, and much more.
People who have taken this program have gone on to secure positions at Shopify, Microsoft, Bell, Apple, and more.
