Can you stream your teaching or record and post it later?

#63Is there really that much demand for Rails devs, compared to iphone/android etc? (genuine question, not trolling or anything)
Honestly, it's also slightly easier to train a good junior Rails dev than a good junior iPhone dev, given things like tracking allocated memory.
Not sure about Android.

#64This is an interesting business model. I like it, but am interested to see how you will commit people to paying you $100/month for the next 5 years unless structuring it as a loan (which has it's own headaches)
For those interested in something similar, my understanding is that Code Academy (Different than YC startup codecademy) http://codeacademy.org in Chicago is phenomenal. I met a bunch of their students at the HN meetup in Chicago last week and they were raving about it. From what I understand, the 35 folks in their current batch are going to have multiple job offers, and DHH is a huge supporter, so much so that he's taught a class.

Depends on many factors. US-wide it's 75k on average.
In SF and NY quite a bit higher.

#69I would jump at the chance if it was available in Austin. How many hours a day?
The program is 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
Why not come the bay for a couple of months?

#70This sounds great, and exactly what I'm looking for. I'm currently in the Bay Area doing analytics at a services company and want to transition more into tech. I started teaching myself Python a few weeks ago, but would love a crash course in Ruby.
If there's still room, I'd love to be in this. I'll email you my contact info.
