Coding bootcamps across the country are becoming an increasingly popular way to bring diversity to tech — the bootcamp model costs less, in both time and money, than a traditional computer science degree. Pay around $14,000 for 12 weeks of intensive, in-person coding classes, and get it back in increased (potential) earnings.
At least, that’s the sell D.C. bootcamps like General Assembly and The Iron Yard are trying to make.
Sound like the right option for you? The Iron Yard’s D.C. campus is hosting an open house on Monday, Aug. 22, dedicated to showing off its particular brand of teaching as well as some recent alumni who will “share their experiences in the program and beyond.”

Previous alumni of Iron Yard coding bootcamps include people like Gio Gatto, who’s (generally bad) experience on the Metro inspired him to create traze, a “Waze for Metro” app as his final project. Come with questions.
