That's one heck of a bold claim. There are some details: > want to get a job, attend the events and meetings we set up for you Nothing too bad there, although I'm not sure how "want to get a job" is proven. I like how the web-site forgets key details like "where is this course being run?" "Are you accredited?" "What supplies do I need to bring?" "Basic qualifications to start?"

"4-week RoR bootcamp in South Lake Union, Seattle." "You do not need to know Ruby or Rails, but it helps if you're familiar with basic programming concepts and tools, like running terminal commands and using a text editor." Admittedly, the latter is not too precise, but they do state it.

  Where is the South Lake Union thing? I just re-checked the FAQ and still cannot find it.

    Its right in the main "hero box" when you open the site. Right in the big header.

I hate it when sites don't say where the product is, too. South Lake Union is one of the startup hubs of Seattle--Amazon has most of its buildings here, TechStars Seattle is here, and a bunch of great small and medium startups. We're not accredited--you can't get student loans for the program. You need to bring a laptop to the bootcamp (we should mention that on the site...shoot).

"I like how the web-site forgets key details like "where is this course being run?" "Are you accredited?" "What supplies do I need to bring?" "Basic qualifications to start?"" Where is answered on the home page in fairly large typeface. Accredited is a bizarre question... As something that's trying to do something novel in education, you can assume not. Supplies aren't mentioned, but I think it's fairly obvious-- you need a computer. Basic qualifications are answered in the faq.
