I went through App Academy in 2013, I'm a Developer for a small startup in SF applying some of the skills learned at the bootcamp. I feel like its pretty good prep for super entry level work. Most of my cohort is still employed as software engineers or has been promoted to director / CTO level positions.
I liked https://www.gitkraken.com/ onboarding
Fair point. My goal was to make something so that static sites that need a simple email or contact form don't need to setup anything serverside.
Waitin years for such a feature!
I found myself in a very similar situation to you. I was working at a job that I didn't really like and knew that learning Rails was something that, on my own, would take many months to get proficient at before getting good enough to get a job. The way I broke out of my slump was to attend App Academy. I used the opportunity to really dive deep into Rails, and javascript, but also to meet a bunch of really great new people in a new place. (I had some previous web dev experience but no Rails and very little javascript and it was still absurdly useful :))
Super helpful to know whats firing when.
:) It uses the list http://www.disneymovieslist.com/disney-movies.asp if you're curious.

Thanks Joe! we needed to upgrade so many apps. It just made sense.
What would the distinction be between content offered on HN vs what investors are looking for?
