Wow! Didn't expect to see this here for a while. We've just finished redeveloping the entire Dev Bootcamp website. Still a few kinks to iron out, especially for smaller screen sizes. We'll be making it responsive.

Chris Jennings (from http://chrisjennings.com) did all the creative work.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions about Dev Bootcamp, but I think this does a good job at tackling a few of them: http://www.quora.com/Programming-Bootcamps/Other-than-locati...

Disclaimer: I'm heading out to DBC to join the Fall Cohort! The revamp looks fantastic. The home page and the video give a great explanation as to why devbootcamp can be of such benefit. No time wasters needed. People who are willing to put in the hours and get the work done. The FAQ gives a good insight into what it's all about. A coherent well put together targeted approach to learning web development. I'm sure DBC will be as engaging as the new website is.

The caliber of companies interested in Dev Bootcamp grads is promising for their model.

I'm curious about how employers have felt about the engineers they've hired from such services vs fresh / semi-experienced engineers with CS degrees.

Jeff Dickey (http://dickey.xxx/dev-bootcamp), an engineer at TapJoy attended our hiring day. They ended up hiring 7 of our grads.

As a Fall cohort myself, this is exciting!

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I'd consider distilling Jeff's content and putting it on your employers page.

And I still don't know how much it costs.

If you click "Tuition" (second from right) it explains the pricing.
