Ask HN: Is there a free ROR/Django bootcamp I can attend for aiding non-profits?
I am an International graduate student in US and I have an active interest in programming (Though I am not from CS background). I do mostly programming for academic tasks and I have decent knowledge of Python, Matlab and C++. Now my long-term goal is to help non-profits in a very poor region of the world and also using the web to preserve some near-extinct languages from my country. I would like to attend a bootcamp that teaches Ruby on Rails or Django with regards to web programming. I am using the resources on the web but I think I can learn much more in a short time by attending a bootcamp. I have knowledge of HTML and CSS.
But since all bootcamps cost upwards of $1000, I can't afford it. I don't want a programming job in this field hence I am willing to sign an undertaking that I'll not accept any web programming related jobs in US or anywhere in the world in exchange for a full scholarship in the summer.
Please help !
