Congrats to all parties involved! I was part of the Spring Dev Class at Code Academy and couldn't be happier for Neal, Mike, Jason and the rest of the hardworking folks who made this possible.
Particularly, I applaud the emphasis on using the Starter League as a springboard for starting a career and/or lifelong relationship with development. Too many programs sell the idea of launching a startup from 3 months of beginner coding which is ridiculous. Even the rebrand "Starter League" emphasizes the commitment...perfect. If anyone is interested in my perspective on the class, here's a post I wrote soon after: http://entrepreneursunpluggd.com/blog/should-you-do-code-aca...
