For the 4-week bootcamp, we're aiming for engineers who know how to program and want to move to Rails. They will probably already have a CS degree and work in tech, but they don't know Rails. We'll migrate their skills to Rails and connect them with area startups (we're also aiming at professional designers who know HTML/CSS and want to move up the stack).

Our instructors feel 4-weeks is enough time for training these experienced engineers. If it isn't, we'll extend the course. If someone is changing their life and paying money to take this bootcamp, we're going to do our best to care of them.

For absolute beginners, we'll offer a different track. It's remarkable what you guys accomplish in a six-month program.

Roger! That seems _much_ more reasonable, but I didn't get that from your site:

    > Ideal candidates will have some programming experience.

Maybe I'm just being overly critical, but this implies to me that it's good if you have it, but not required. Just a thought. :)

True, I'll improve the wording. The site's a week old; we're now working on properly setting expectations and funneling people toward the right class.
