Great offer. I can't take you up on it, unfortunately, but that is a great idea!
Thanks. Can you give me some insight into what stands in your way? The time commitment? The tuition? Lack of interest? Just looking for as much feedback as I can get.

#32Sounds like an interesting approach. I like how you're thinking and I'd make my way there for 8 weeks in a hot second. Would love to hear more.
Thanks. Shoot me an email shereef@gmail.com

#34Just a doubt...How much does a junior RoR developer make in the Bay Area....If considering the options to start afresh as a jr.developer leaving my existing skillset if my existing skills are completely different from web:)

#35I am UC Berkeley student studying mathematics. I would do, anything, to be part of this six week session. I have been painstakingly trying to each myself programming spending more than 3 hours every single day outside of my normal schedule just trying to learn more programming. I learn quickly. I am highly focused. I've started a profitable, successful company before. I have a burning desire to learn this.

#36Sounds great. I have a previous background in programming, so is there some "accelerated" route I can take?
A lot of the learning will be self-paced. So not everybody needs to be going at the same speed, and on the same page. I'm designing the program to make sure that if you have programming background, you won't be bored.

I'd love to do it too, but can't, for two reasons - first, I am in NY, and second, it would not be possible to take that much time off of my day job.
If it is web based, or weekends, then I'd be very interested.

#38Well, I am not so sure about a formal course like this. I am on the peninsula learning Ruby and Rails. If anyone would like to meet some time casually send me a message.

Great! That's all you need. Shoot me an email (in my profile).
btw, it's 8 weeks, not six.
