Perhaps like the "N-reduce" of programming bootcamps.−pzaich13yCheck out Bloc http://www.bloc.io/−arikrak13yI guess that's somewhat similar, but it still costs $5k. I was thinking more of a group that gets together and codes for a few weeks, and somehow finds a mentor to help them when they're stuck.
