LaunchSchool

Launch School embodies part of my path to becoming a professional developer.
It espouses mastery-based learning, meaning that progress is contingent upon successful completions of previous projects. Understaning is fixed, while time is variable under this model.
This is contrary to traiditional time-based models where understanding is variable and time is fixed.
The program begins with by teaching the fundamentals of back-end development via Ruby and covers vital topics such as HTTP, SQL and Relational Databases, and OOP. It then transtions to Front-End programming to master HTML, CSS, and Javascript. *
After a foundation has been laid, the program moves on to teaching Frameworks(like Rails), Integrations, and Advanced Topics.
Throughout the program, founder Chris Lee and staff give technical interviews to student to assert they're progressing and truly mastering the topic.
The end goal of this program is be a full-stack engineer who truly understands the underpinnings of the web, and not just how to use a specific tool or two.
Since I've already programmed in Python, Ruby/Rails, and C since the end of 2015, I've making fast progress and still going really deep into the material and should be prepared for anything.
