i am a graduate of tealeaf academy. i took all 3 courses, which took about 4 months to complete. I got my 1st dev job about 2 mo. later. They did help find a job by introducing me to their rails/ruby contacts in the city i was living in. I didn't have any OOP experience prior to the course. I totally recommend this if you want to learn rails to bootstrap your own product or change careers and become a dev. I did this for both.

This course doesn't have the direct matching that the in person courses do. It's mostly on you. They do encourage you to attend local meetups to network.

I live in the same city as one of the instructors and he offered to connect me with local people for a job, but I ended up not needing it as I got a job with the person who ran my local meetup.

You know, I never asked him directly what he thought about it. He was just happy I knew rails, and knew programming enough to work in other languages as well.
