In the Github repo there are a number of unsolved entries, and you can also make a new solution for a "solved" one – since there's no correct answer for any entry.
Sol LeWitt, and his cohort of generative conceptual artists, are really interesting to evaluate from a software engineering perspective, and I hope you'll take a look at what they're all about!
"In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch (sound and editing on Apocalypse Now, Godfather, the Conversation, and so many more). The book is about film editing but actually about how humans absorb information.
For the 4-week bootcamp, we're aiming for engineers who know how to program and want to move to Rails. They will probably already have a CS degree and work in tech, but they don't know Rails. We'll migrate their skills to Rails and connect them with area startups (we're also aiming at professional designers who know HTML/CSS and want to move up the stack).
Our instructors feel 4-weeks is enough time for training these experienced engineers. If it isn't, we'll extend the course. If someone is changing their life and paying money to take this bootcamp, we're going to do our best to care of them.
For absolute beginners, we'll offer a different track. It's remarkable what you guys accomplish in a six-month program.
This a way for designers to learn to code. Our next bootcamp is in Javascript and we're aiming it at designers who are tired of handing over their comps for someone else to build. I'm a designer who learned to code, and want to help others do the same.
I hate it when sites don't say where the product is, too.
South Lake Union is one of the startup hubs of Seattle--Amazon has most of its buildings here, TechStars Seattle is here, and a bunch of great small and medium startups.
We're not accredited--you can't get student loans for the program. You need to bring a laptop to the bootcamp (we should mention that on the site...shoot).
The elephant in the room here is the Auteur Theory [1]. Film is a uniquely collaborative art--a director needs to communicate his or her vision to a very large team with specialized technical skills. While tempting to do it all yourself, that doesn't scale. There's a direct corollary here with running a company.
The craft, skill, and genius of great auteurs and entrepreneurs is inspiring a team with his or her vision to build great things together, not in doing it all him or her self.
