Admission wasn't granted on the basis of programming knowledge though, it was on the basis of motivation. Yeah that skews the playing field a little bit, but I like that kind of skew.
"17 ready to work" means 17 wanted jobs and didn't want to start their own thing.

Online courses might be structured really well and have the best material, but they still can't provide you 20 people who've put their livelihoods on the line to get through this stuff right beside you.
