If you like codefellows' pricing model, you may also want to check out the hacker academy that I help run: http://www.appacademy.io.

We only charge tuition if you find a job as a dev after the course. Also, we've done this before: 93% of our grads have offers or are working in tech jobs now at an average salary of $83,000.

Companies that have hired from the program include: Facebook, Twilio, Zendesk, Thoughtbot and Carbon Five.

I sent in my application and am now doing the Ruby prepwork to prepare for the coding challenge (no prior Ruby experience), is there any advice you would give for the interview? App Academy is everything that I am looking for.

Practice, practice, practice! The more hands-on experience you have, the greater your facility with the material will be.

If you're looking for more material/exercises, check out the prep work that all of our accepted students complete before the course: https://github.com/kushpatel72/App-Academy-prep-work/blob/ma....

I really appreciate it, thank you. I'm very motivated to get accepted and do exceptionally well in your program, I will dive into this prep work asap!
