**It is that time of year again!** (yes, I'm a bit late posting this)
There is a certificate course at the UW starting this fall. It is 3 quarters long starting at rubynewb, then rails/web development, then rubyjedi. no, not the real titles. You are not required to take all three courses. do what feels right. For more info:

There is space available. apparently, plenty of space... so to make this a success, if you are interested or suspect someone you know is interested, PLEASE, help make it happen.
