“There are no two ways around it, there’s a high demand for developers and engineers not only in the Bay Area, but around the U.S. There’s a war for talent, and it’s well worth finding a new approach to not only courting that talent, but producing it. A computer science degree from a private college today could mean a stellar education, but the cost is high.

That’s why Shereef Bishay started Dev Bootcamp, a 10-week program designed for both beginners and experienced programmers with headquarters in downtown San Francisco. The program focuses specifically on Ruby On Rails, and, as its name would suggest, puts learners through the ringer—400+ hours of intense technical training.”

A recently concluded bootcamp was a success by many measures. Of the 17 developers that were ready to go to work at the end of the program, to date, 14 of them have secured job offers with the average salary being $79,000.

Not bad for 2.5 month’s work.
