How much does it cost? Everything on the website seems very vague. The premise is interesting though.

We haven't locked down the pricing structure yet but we will be offering a discounted membership for early adopters.

The idea is that everyone needs a lot of practice to get good at a technology.

While courses usually give you the theoretical and conceptual knowledge, you usually don't have ways to put those learnings into practice through real world projects.

We envision Zyring to be more like lab than a classroom such that you will build relevant products and technologies that will help you grow your skills or transition to a new career.

So here is the step by step of how it works:

1- Get matched with a mentor. 2- Introductory meetings with your mentor to determine your knowledge gap and how you will develop the projects in your track. 3- Review collection of curated material from experts in the field. 4- You work with your mentor to create a real world project. You will meet regularly with your mentor to get feedback, help, and direction. 5- You release and demo your work and put it on your portfolio. 6- If you choose so, companies from that track will be invited to view your portfolio and offer you job opportunities.

Are you open for online learning ?

Yes, Zyring will be primarily online, unless you choose to meet with your mentors in person.

Our primary focus is on hands-on projects, not so much teaching you how to actually do the basics. So our collection of resources will be curated from the web as we believe there is an abundance of premium level education material already online for free.

Does that answer your question?
