A comment on 334 Hours of Ruby on Rails. Parent comment
My goal in designing the curriculum was to graduate world-class beginners, not to quickly hack together one or two rails apps.
The first half of devbootcamp was just Ruby. We covered basics of OO design and TDD.
One of my students blogged every day, if you're interested in the details of what we covered: http://douglascalhoun.tumblr.com/
Overall, I feel strongly that folks graduated with a strong sense of what's involved in building software, some basic knowledge and more importantly feeling resourced to learn what they don't yet know.
