   A free, live-streamed, after-hours web development mini-bootcamp▲6

   I'm with LambdaSchool (a new code bootcamp in San Francisco), and we're launching a completely free, livestreamed, after-hours web development mini-bootcamp in February. No strings attached. We're still figuring out all of the details, but you can see all of the details and register here: http://lambdaschool.com/part-time . Happy to answer any questions you may have. This will be a new experiment, and is our small way of giving back to the community. (We hope to get to the point where even the bootcamp is free up-front, but that's another story.)
