I have met very few developers that I considered *good* developers that did not also have a google window open full time for questions.

I think have of IT and development skills is just being able to google good and figure out the rest on your own.

I think part of the key is only allowing those in, who show serious
potential and have done some self learning and show a true passion and
raw talent.

It is a lot of hours.  720 - 1200 hours.  And a lot of hands on which
is very beneficial.  If the instructors are with the students most of
the time, giving them lots of guidance along the way, then maybe.
Just seems like a lot for 9 - 12 weeks.

Not sure how much one can retain while drinking from a fire hose.

Insane!  But if you read the article carefully, the students may be
going for 2-3 months, but they are working 80-100 hrs a week.

If you really focused, structured it like a real job, go with 1 week
sprints and a focus to learn A, B, and C in sprint/week 1, and D & E
in sprint/week 2, 9-12 weeks is very do-able.

If the boot camp had sponsors looking to hire, and the emphasis could
be placed on those skills, a job 1 week after, at 2x a marketer's
salary, is also very do-able.

I think this idea is actually awesome.

I cannot imagine being able to teach someone how to be a web
developer in 9 - 12 weeks.  I'd like to see the curriculum.  Way too
much to know.
