Does anyone know of a program like this in CT, MA, or RI? I'd gladly pay, but I can't seem to find anything as immersive as this.

I would too if there was something similar in DC/VA/MD, although I would have to quit my 9-5 job, find an evening job, and rely upon my girlfriend a lot. Edit: If anyone does know of a program, I'd love to hear about it. Thank you.

It's not quite Connecticut, but in New York City there's https://www.hackerschool.com https://www.hackerschool.com, which lasts about 3 months. An acquaintance of mine did it and liked it a lot.

  Yeah, I've looked at this one before. Forgot the name though, so thanks for the link! Not a huge fan of NYC, but I think it's one of the better options out there. Side Note: I've been teaching myself Python on Codeacademy, but am still pretty early in the coursework. I've noticed most of these programs focus on Ruby. Without getting into the ruby vs. python fight that is so easy to find online, does anyone know why these classes focus so much on ruby and not another language? Am I going down the wrong path?

    I have the same question. The ubiquity of these Ruby/Rails bootcamps make Python/Django feel like some archaic language and framework when that is hardly the case. What gives?

  I'd never heard of this one. It's a little more expensive than some of the other options, but I might have to look into it.

  I'm sure Boston would be successful for these dev bootcamps. But $11K tuition?!!

    Yeah...it's too rich for my blood. And of course, if it's successful, then I could afford to go.

  Hah, I beg to differ. Yet another interesting program however.

There's http://www.bostonstartupschool.com/ http://www.bostonstartupschool.com/ and several if you can make it down to NYC.

  I might actually apply to this one. Has anyone gone through this program who can vouch for it?
