334 Hours of Ruby on Rails

The devbootcamp is so freaking expensive, you can rather invest that money and let it grow and learn Ruby on Rails on the side on your own. There are so many free resources for beginner to advance developers.

adennis is an awesome startup guy. I couldn't be more proud to know him.<p>To those who don't know him, you guys might remember him from: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2332349" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2332349</a><p>That was him about a year ago, and a lot of people called it the best "looking for a tech cofounder" post they had ever seen.<p>A year ago, he was an awesome hustler/non-tech founder looking for a tech founder. Now he can deploy his own apps too. Just another data point for how far he's willing to go to get success.<p>Congrats adennis, looking forward to great things from you.

My only question is that after that time and money, did you learn anything about software engineering, or just how to code RoR apps? Did you learn about stacks and their options and nuances, even practical design patterns? Or was this more on hacking out some web apps in Ruby on Rails with RSpec? I'm just curious how much is taught about the process of software as a whole.

So, I had a couple of questions about Dev Bootcamp as it seems like a great idea and the cost is definitely in balance with what you get but...<p>Do we know how many of the people are getting actually job offers after completing this program? Obviously that's partly on the individual but I would be interested to see the statistics.<p>Secondly, it seems like this program is no longer "Free". I noticed that tuition is around 11K and they give you back 5K of that. I think the last session used to be 5K and they will give you the 5K back if you get recruited. Can someone confirm this?

Just another example of selling pickaxes in a gold rush.

How did you log yours hours? Great write up.

Cool write up!
