&#62; @devbootcamp graduate<p>Thought this was going to be about someone who was self-taught in under a year until I saw that part.<p>Dev Bootcamp is an amazing program and pretty much guarantees you a job if you make it through (at least from what I've heard). But it's only in San Francisco, and they take what, 20 people every few weeks? Not exactly a path that everyone can follow...<p>Edit: Just realized this was posted by the author, so here's my concern: Considering the fact that you went through a fairly intense 9-week program taught by several experts, how can we be confident your book is useful to beginners who lack that option? The excerpt on your page seems more like a promo for programming/entrepreneurship -- it doesn't tell much about the book or add to your credibility as someone who could teach people to program.

Congrats on your journey from learning to code through to landing a job and congratulations on the book.<p>That being said, you might want to at least provide a sample of your writing from the book for people to look at.

Has anyone read it? Any unique approaches here or just the usual recipe - focus and time?

In a very humorous series of events, while checking my RSS feeds I read [this](<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4843795" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4843795</a>) immediately before seeing this title.

At least the Table of Contents would be useful. Maybe the 1st Chapter or something?

did you start learning it by yourself (i.e, watching videos or reading books) or did you attend devbootcamp first?

Seems like a much better investment than college, imo. Unless your passion drives you elsewhere.
