"intensive" as a university term (shortened classes)
I've been doing a little research. It's much more than is advertised. I believe it like 10 hours a week of just class time, but according to the "my time at code academy" type blogs there is way more learning going on outside of the class room than in it.
It appears they have a community mentor they meet with weekly and a group of thirty people that have put there lives aside to learn collectively.
One guy put it "more intensive than the 45 hour a week dev job I had coming into this"
