Interesting, considering Kaplan already has a bootcamp arm, Metis (http://www.thisismetis.com/). From what I can tell, Metis provides courses developed by industry groups, although it's not clear what Kaplan provides - infrastructure for applications and buildings, perhaps? Either way, this purchase shows they're serious about the whole thing.

I believe the content and instruction for Metis is provided by the Rails consultancy, Thoughtbot. This seemed to be a recent foray into the space for both parties; perhaps, Kaplan saw some encouraging traction from the joint partnership and thus decided to make an acquisition.

Kaplan is essentially a holding company with access to some shared resources (HR, etc).
