In my research, I found that the dev shops I'd apply to do ask technical questions in the interview (oop design, APIs, data structures, etc.).

It would probably increase my chances a lot more if I could answer some of those questions. It would probably also give me more bargaining power for salary. I think its a worthwhile investment to make, even if the skills are in vain.

http://www.learnhowtoprogram.com/ is the entire curriculum of the [Epicodus](http://www.epicodus.com) Boot Camp. It seems to go directly towards understanding these concepts. I used it when first doing exactly what you are in a similar situation. Now I work remote for a wonderful startup and couldn't be happier. Email is my my profile if you would like to ask anything specific. Cheers and happy hacking!
