>The flaw with your assumption

I never assumed that. I prefaced my assertion with: unless you have a significant knowledge base going in.

I've done a bit of reading up on app academy and from what I can tell it's a pretty standard curriculum, but it includes 80-100 hours per week of work.

It's basically a 12 week long interview that's doesn't so much train developers as it does select them.
