Thank you for such a genuine, articulate endorsement of Dev Bootcamp's process. I was one of the students of the Summer 2012 cohort that met with you this past Friday, and can really identify with your thoughts. I was weeded out of my Intro Computer Science in the freshman year of college. I had never been exposed to programming before, and was overwhelmed and intimidated by all my peers who had been coding for years. I've spent the better part of the last year trying to make my way back into the technical world. I'm intelligent, motivated, and passionate about coding. While I lack experience, there is no reason why my liberal arts background should preclude me from gaining a development position. As we prepare to enter the workforce as junior developers, I know that my fellow Boots and I are most excited to keep learning!
