The correct question is - "Can you learn how to code in 8 weeks at Devbootcamp?" That answer is yes. I'm not sure if it was by chance or a product of the people that Devbootcamp admitted into this class...but this class isn't here to learn by osmosis. We all work hard.
Another good question would be..."If you are incredibly motivated, can't you just learn how to code on your own?" That answer is also yes. There is no magic or voodoo that happens in this office. There are no secret formulas that a person will miss out on by passing on DBC.
Buford - if you actually are curious on what is going on here...why don't you stop by?? We're at Market and 5th - just down the street from you. Incredibly friendly group...super excited about ruby and love sharing everything that we've just learned. It is an amazing feeling being in our position...and I would personally be happy to share the experience with you.
