I must say this is quite exciting! Disclaimer, I am one of the founders of MakerSquare (makersquare.com), a similar software development school currently in Austin, San Francisco, and Houston.
It’s great to see that the HN community is not surprised by this acquisition. As a witness of this space for the past 2-3 years, I am excited for the future of the education space. I can say with confidence that some of the top programs (like Dev Bootcamp - http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-five-best-coding-bootcamps) have been training and placing great talent (up to ~90-95% of graduates).
Also, we have also have had a number of meetings regarding acquisition, mergers, and investment; however, I never imagined an acquisition of this size would happen so quickly. Congrats to Dev Bootcamp and their team (especially one of the cofounders, Dave Hoover, who has been so helpful for so many people since the start).
