Tough to argue at this point that there isn't participant bias. Time will tell, particularly as we increase the number of participants in 2013. I've spent a significant amount of time at several different programs like Dev Bootcamp and found it to be the most effective program out there. It is truly immersive with students spending 80-100+ hours/week in the trenches with over 40 hours/week of structured learning.
