tjarmain··on Finished CodeAcademy, now what?
Bitmaker Labs is another option, we've had 60+ applicants from 10 countries apply to our first cohort in Toronto: http://bitmakerlabs.com/

tjarmain··on Ask HN: Dropped out of education what would you do next?
This is shameless self promotion, but have you thought about doing a programming bootcamp like Bitmaker Labs? http://www.bitmakerlabs.com/

Thanks, that's what we love to hear!

- They'll be pretty similar, ours might be more project-focused. We're also planning to include classes on analytics for our students. If we aren't successful in placing a graduate, at the very least we want them to have the skills to be able to bootstrap their own SaaS businesses and know enough about analytics so that they can continuously make improvements.

- We're still talking to our hiring partners about this but we're aiming to give some tuition back if a student gets hired.

- Nope. We'll likely launch rolling cohorts but we want to keep the actual class size capped at 20 because our goal is to place 100% of our grads.

Happy to hear that you're interested! We'll definitely have cohorts starting after mid-August, it's just not listed on the site right now.

We actually went out to visit Dev Bootcamp in San Francisco and are huge fans of Shereef, Dave, and the rest of their team; hopefully we can create a similar experience here at home.

Any feedback?

What's amusing to me is that you can build something like this with 100 lines of JavaScript and a bit of Rails scaffolding (I know because I've done it).
