- talmand 14y agoNot trying to complain since it looks like a good program, but why does Dev Bootcamp lump Jquery, Coffeescript, SASS, HAML, AJAX, and others under Advanced Rails Technologies? Shouldn't that be Advanced Web Technologies or are they just simplifying things for their Rails program?
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoThey have a course in Advanced Rails Technologies? What kind of damned idiot takes "Advanced Rails Technologies"?
- talmand 14y agoDid you take a course called Advanced Rails Techologies? Did you take the course in question and find it lacking? If not, you shouldn't insult people you don't know who might be interested in such a program. How about you explain, nicely please, why taking something called Advanced Rails Technologies is a bad thing?
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoHow about you explain, nicely please, why taking something called Advanced Rails Technologies is a bad thing? Because "Rails Technologies" have changed drastically in the past 5 years and do so again in the next 5 years. "Modern Web Programming" would have been a good course. "Advanced Rails Technologies" is so ridiculously over-specific and over-current that I simply can't see how it has any value for the future.
- talmand 14y agoSo you do not see the benefit in learning what is considered advanced technologies today because it'll change in the future? Why bother learning anything in this field at all? Or is it just the name they chose? Because it seems really rude of you to insult an entire group of people simply because they wish to take a course of which you do not like the name. I'm totally lost on your attitude about this.
- gaius 14y agoSee comments above about general vs specific human capital.
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoSo you do not see the benefit in learning what is considered advanced technologies today because it'll change in the future? Why bother learning anything in this field at all? The core of any field should be eternal. For example, `while` loops and `lambda` expressions are simply not going to change that much in the next 5 years. Neither is the Model-View-Controller architecture, say. Portable, core skills are valuable. Particular syntaxes, you can just learn in your first couple weeks on a job.
- damian2000 14y ago"Adv. Rails tech" is just one part of the single course which aims to get someone a job in 10 weeks as a web developer ... from the looks of this they have been fairly successful ... http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/10/dev-boot-camp-is-a-ruby-success/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/10/dev-boot-camp-is-a-ruby-suc... but its actually hard to get into the course - they take only those who they think will pass and who are motivated enough.
- kabuks 14y agoI appreciate the question. I like your naming better. Will change it.
