I've worked with the two fellows starting this program. I'll publicly vouch for their seriousness and competence in seeing this project through. Whatever your thoughts on these "bootcamp" style training programs that have been popping up around the country (see: Dev Bootcamp, Code Academy, Hungry Academy, Hacker School), they have a real potential to bridge the unfortunate chasm between the educated underemployed and the desperate and ever-growing need for software developers and perhaps eventually replace the broken system of CS education in this country.

If anybody can do it, David and Christian can. Best of luck guys!

Thanks Doug. I am a former student and Christian helped teach the first cohort of Dev Bootcamp. It is an incredible program and inspiration to us. There are more and more options out there to help train people to become developers, it is a powerful movement and I think it's going to change the world.

Totally and completely agreed, David and Christian are both great programmers and great guys.
