Another "Boot" here, graduate of the Spring devbootcamp cohort. I was accepted almost exactly a year ago.
That post was a major turning point in my life, as it was exactly the kind of thing I had been looking for, to transition to what I really wanted to do. Eventually it led to my current job.
Edit: Interestingly, looking back at the comment thread for that post, I see this comment, where someone responds to a skeptic by saying that he picked up Django and got a job using it from 10 weeks of self-study.

Similarly, after the 8-week DBC, which used Rails, the job I got used Django, but I was able to pick it up quickly enough.
No offense, Shereef, but I prefer it to Rails ;-)
