You know, I never asked him directly what he thought about it. He was just happy I knew rails, and knew programming enough to work in other languages as well.
This course doesn't have the direct matching that the in person courses do. It's mostly on you. They do encourage you to attend local meetups to network.
I live in the same city as one of the instructors and he offered to connect me with local people for a job, but I ended up not needing it as I got a job with the person who ran my local meetup.
This is your 3rd post on this in 3 days. You would be hit by the spam filter if this wasn't an ASK post.
If you're not getting any traction with your posts (I assume you're not since you've made the exact same one 3 times in 3 days), you should consider the reasons why, and change based on them.
Also, I mean this in the most constructive way possible- Please get a more professional sounding email address. I would never hire someone who had your email addresses.
Get yourself one based on your name, or a freelancing company name you invent.
I use ConEmu + Powershell/Mintty for Vim/Rails development. I don't notice a difference with it vs my OSX or Linux machines. I also use it for working on my linux VPS and have 0 problems
> I feel for just a fraction of $33k, I can get some pretty nice resources online myself instead of moving somewhere remote and paying that much
That seems pretty spot on to me.
$33,000 sounds like an insane amount of money to spend on anything without getting a degree out of it.

I am finishing up their 3rd course and I'm very happy with it. I've learned more in the 4 months in this program than the rest of my life half-assedly teaching myself and taking some classes combined.
