Awesome Sauce, Michael!

Best of luck in bringing hacker schooling to the Sacramento area! The revolution is spreading...

While a bunch of this material is review for me, I still would love to have an experience like this. I live in Washington, D.C., however, and I'm unable to find active programs.

i'm putting all of our course materials online at www.learnhowtoprogram.com. only the first chapter (which is probably review for you) is publicly available now, but after the first class is over and we've hammered out the kinks, i'll make the entire curriculum available.

that said, i really think most people learn best with others, in person, so i'd really encourage you to take a trip for a couple months to join a class like epicodus or one of the other "hacker schools". (or convince someone to start one in dc!)

I agree. I've been spending a handful of months learning Ruby (done, but I need to do a lot of small exercises in the language to get used to solving problems in it) and Rails. I've made a small application which I know could be made better (and which didn't have testing). I've since learned much more (comfortable with RSpec + Capybara, associations between models, etc.). And I'm taking the edX SaaS courses, which should help supplement all of this.

All that said, I'd love the opportunity to pair program in an environment like the one offered by epicodus.

I would absolutely kill to be in this class. Unfortunately, I'm out of the US until March 1st. Sigh.

I had planned on it, but $2800 is barely doable, let alone $8000. Looks fantastic, though.

Looks great Michael!

I have coded with and learned with michael before and I think he is one of the most patient and thoughtful teachers I know. I wish you the best of luck and congrats to Sacramento for getting an awesome program.
