This is really cool. A lot of his analysis on the learning process (and what separates a good one from an unhelpful one) are spot-on. These are pretty much the same reasons why I'm doing Hack Reactor (Learning the right way with useful things to show for it in a very selective environment). In fact I'd say this program pretty closely mirrors what Hack Reactor (and some of the other top-tier bootcamps) are trying to do. The main difference of course being that this one would be free, and that it's for experienced developers, as opposed to new developers. But the principle is pretty much the same.

Looks like a great idea!

Only question I have is how they plan to attract the best simply by offering the highest quality classes. Does highest quality mean most difficult, or will they have some sort of standard for admission? For instance, admission at Hack Reactor is pretty selective (under 3%). I'd be interested to see what their specific plan is to prevent developers who may not be the best or who may turn out to have limited commitment from claiming some of what I assume are limited spots in the class.
