Want to become a web developer? Are you based in the Bay Area? Can you take next February and March off?
I want to teach 6 people Ruby on Rails from scratch. Hands on. In person. 5 days a week, for 8 weeks. No computer science background required. There is such high demand for good ruby devs right now. I’m willing to invest my time, money and energy upfront to get you in good enough shape to land a job as a Junior Rails Developer. I will line up several companies that would be very interested in interviewing you. If you get a job with any of them, they’ll pay me your tuition, so you get the training for free. What do you think?

Would be a great opportunity depending on the number of hours a day involved - I would consider this…but sounds like it requires relocation to SF. It’s mentioned that if you don’t get the job or decide not to look for one, you will owe him $100 a month over 5 years, so tuition is 6k.
