I would love to have something like this, but for Ruby and Rails. The price is right, too. Seriously. I will be first in line.

The dev bootcamps are really enticing to me, but I don't have any realistic way of leaving my job for two weeks and fronting the thousands of dollars.

I'd like a Javascript mentor as well.

Hey Karunamon. I was thinking about adding a registration form for rails as well but I decided to keep things simple (maybe a mistake in retrospect...).

If you're interested, sign up and I'll put it together.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right now newbies. But the same principle applies. I want to broaden a bunch of programming skills (especially algorithms) largely on my own time but I'd like a human voice to guide and motivate me from time to time. If this works out, we'll keep expanding.

Cool ... best of luck. As an intermediate/expert programmer in one language, it would be great to get access to an expert in language B. Certainly worth $100!

I have some friends who could teach Erland and Go. If that sounds interesting, signup for the site or otherwise let me know and I'll try to make it happen!

edX MITx has a great course for Ruby on Rails.

It is a good mix of theory, practice and homeworks. I took both of them and while I didnt manage to complete all tasks due to time constraints my Rails knowledge has significantly increased.

I see the value of a lot of these programs/courses as connecting you with your first job. What did that look like for you? Did you move? Find something local? Did Tealeaf help you?

Anyway, I'm very interested in your experience.

Like the other commenter, I'd like to hear more - what did your employer think about you having taken this course?
