Samefag.

seems mostly webdev oriented, with a few other areas here and there.

People pay *>20k to have someone re-print MDN resources and give them a few cookie-cutter projects?

What the fuck am I doing, I need to set one of these scams up.

Well, you get to meet google/paypal engineers, and they have hiring partners so job afterwards.

I've been self-learning for years. Shit does not get you a job.

But with this program, if you don't succeed, then the program fails, and shuts down. They don't want that.

λ is a greek letter that makes the 'L' sound from english.
it makes sense.

I know one of the guys who runs this. Their strategy is far better than the average bootcamp. They teach you for six months, and are fairly strict in accepting new students. Six months is enough time fro an intelligent and motivated individual to get to Jr. Dev levels with the right mentorship.

Honestly, I'd like to see a full year program though.

>>62291159
Is this done over the internet?

>>62291781
Which of the guys do you know?

>>62291792
Yeah

If you're just interested in learning, you could teach yourself. For job hunting you need to pay more attention to how successful they are placing or helping place students in a legit tech job with a legit company. Do they offer any assistance with marketing and applications? Do they have business connections in their industry if choice to the point where clients are coming to them for workers? Or do they just have you sign a contract and say good luck at the end, waiting to pounce on any job you find no matter how unrelated to their curriculum and low paying?

Doesn't stop them from shutting down anyway from time to time. I think IronYard went down recently.

Yeah, the last week is "interview and job seeking strategies", and they have a bunch of hiring partners.

Your second question can be answered above.

As for the third, I'm unsure. They basically say you could be waiting months, and that it's really up to you about getting the job, though they'll do their best to help you.

They don't get paid, unless you get a job. That's $20,000 for them. I'm sure they'll be doing their best so they could collect their shekels.

And if they do, that might benefit those that are in debt to them. They now owe no money, and were mentored by a NASA engineer/stanford teacher. Highly marketable.

>>62292068
Sure as shit did. Two guys I work with did their program, and they ended up having to give a small speech about their experience and finding a job to what was probably the last group ever. Made it pretty awkward.

Got a really comfy t-shirt out of it, though.

>>62292202
>they ended up having to give a small speech about their experience

What the fuck, why? For the job?

>>62292264

I think Ironyard just asked them and they felt like they had to. They were telling current Ironyard students about what it was like finding a job and working in an actual company and how Ironyard helped them. Pretty standard stuff.

>bootcamp

I took one of their classes early this year. Some of the teachers were really good and I learned a ton in a very short amount of time. There was one instructor that was absolutely terrible though. I would go through that program if I had to time but I decided to focus on becoming a sysadmin instead.
