Can you share the empirical evidence that it works? There is a lot of talk about these programs but not many resources on the outcomes that I know of.

Not sure if this counts as empirical evidence but I was a Dev Bootcamp graduate. Working full time now. I recognize the deficiencies in my knowledge and experience before anyone else does, and there are many, but I am stil learning and loving what I do.

I'm also a Dev Bootcamp graduate and I work at Hipmunk now as a software engineer. Something like 93% of my class (summer) got hired so I'd say there's _some_ empirical evidence. What kind of engineers we'll be in a year's time will be even better evidence and from my own personal experience, I think the results will be positive.

I help run App Academy (appacademy.io), a similar program also based in SF. For what it's worth, we graduated our first class about 3 weeks ago, and our students have already received offers from companies such as Twilio and Thoughtbot.

Congrats on the launch Catalyst!
