I'm really jealous of the folks who can do this. Unfortunately, I feel like young people will not be able to afford this. Which makes me wonder, what's the average age of people attending?
Despite being really jealous for how easy this makes it look to 'learn to be a hacker', I personally will stick to the Zed Shaw school of learning.
Looked neat, and then I saw this:
"You qualify for a $500 scholarship if you're female or from an ethnic minority group underrepresented in the software engineering field (African American, Chicano/Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander, etc.). The tech world is notoriously unrepresentative of the larger population. We believe that the sooner that changes, the better off we all are."
How is that not discrimination?
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.
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.
This site is absolutely beautiful. Well done. I'd love to know a little more about the tools (generators?) that were used as it appears to be a completely static site.
How do employers weight this kind of experience when considering a graduate of this program? I'm sure there's a lot of companies in around SF who already know DevBootCamp, but what about employers outside of California?
All of the mics on the video only come out on my left speaker. The music comes out both...
Anyone know if there is something similar for people who can't attend during work hours (but willing to put in a full shift after work/weekends)?
Well I like the site. I don't suppose there are any plans to have additional campuses in the bay area?
Did DBC do away with the payment plan for tuition?
And I still don't know how much it costs.
No mobile layout? Tsk tsk!
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.

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...
