Have you been through Dev Bootcamp? Did you find it immensely useful? Did it help with getting hired?
I ask because it has quite a large upfront cost... perfectly reasonable if it really is that great.

Please feel free to ask any other questions!
I've tried to learn Ruby and don't think it is for me. Too hard to deal with setting up my environment and the language just does not come easily to me.
Can you recommend a program like yours that is of very high quality that focuses on Python, JavaScript (possibly with HTML/CSS) or Objective-C?
90% of Dev Bootcamp's previous class got offers of $80k/year, compared to a college education where 50% of graduates will be underemployed or jobless. The $12k tuition feels too low if it's certain that you'll get 6x the return in the first year.
