From my initial investigation, it does appear that there is quite a shortage of RoR developers and no real way to bridge that gap. If not Code Academy then who or how???
I've earned enough to retire (I'm young thirties and can't bear the thought!!) and now looking for a new mountain to climb. Talked with my buddy in Stanford CS who recommended Ruby on Rails and I have committed to take two years to learn it. I've burned up most the walk through tutorials in three weeks (try ruby/treehouse/udemy/bloc/code year) and looking for the next step.
Any directional feedback will help.
