Learn to Code in 3 Months—or Less

The first cohort (Spring) of http://DevBootcamp.com graduated a month ago. It was an ultra successful class, we had some amazing teachers, mentors and fellow students (I was one of them). I've just checked the current statistics and 14 of the 17 students looking for jobs have now had offers. I think at least 5 have accepted an offer and started working so far.

Average salaries are around (but slightly less) than San Francisco junior industry averages.

This is after an 8 week course. These programs work.

Disclaimer: I now work for DevBootcamp.

What's the industry average? (Sorry, I'm from Oz so don't know.)

I don't know about "junior developers", but the average starting salary for a fresh BS from my public university (based on a voluntary exit survey, so there may be some upward bias) is around $80.5k.

This is particularly pertinent because the vast majority of the students here end up working in the Bay Area.

I'm also Australian! I'm led to believe Junior developers are at around $90,000. It's hard to say with the level of experience these people have, as it's very much entry level.
