I don't think you read the page clearly. She's already a programmer; she's trying to accelerate her learning process. Which frankly is worth the $12k, but getting an uncollateralized loan for that kind of thing can be difficult.
Fuck the haters. Keep it up! You should use twitter to reach out to writers at Mashable, Fast Company, etc and tell them this story. This story has feel-good written all over it.
Thank you! I'm gonna try and reach out to some tech bloggers and see what happens. Official accounts of Mashable, Fast Company, etc seem to just tweet their articles, with no @replies ever.
If you're a programmer and you have 3 months of time to work at this full-time you can accelerate your learning process without paying $12k. I laid out a free plan in a post above. I know it works because that's what I did.
Right, because what works for one person works for everyone?
It's great that you were able to do that, and it grew up doing this work myself in a time in which you didn't have a lot of options BUT to be self taught. But I know I certainly would have benefitted from a program like this 15-20 years ago, when I learned a lot of things the hard way and much more slowly.,
every candidate I talk to about this gets the same spiel: you don't have to pay to learn this material. It's available online for free. But learning in a guided way will get you over the speed bumps a lot faster.. moreover, the best value from these programs isn't even the education: it's the network. Connecting with peers, mentors, and instructors is a benefit that pays dividends throughout a career, and this is often something students are completely up equipped to achieve on their own.
