Mainly intended for London residents, but we would consider strong applications from elsewhere.

This should now no longer be the case. There are links to both a FAQ to the "Current course" materials on the website.

The first cohort graduated in February. One is interning as a developer at Hogarth Worldwide--after only six weeks and from a standing start--but he was an outlier.

Of the others, one has got a job with a tech startup, one is working as a business analyst, one is freelancing with Google, some have returned to their own startups from which they took a sabbatical to do the course--but none of them are in pure developer roles.

We are not in the business of pretending we can turn people into software developers in a few weeks. I am re-orienting the course away from the unrealistic goal of turning out market-ready software developers and instead I am aiming to jump-start people who want to work on their own projects.

This might kibosh my funding sources, but it seems to be a more interesting and worthwhile direction to go in.

That is no coincidence. I organised a meetup for Startup Engineering last year in the same place that I am now running Founders & Coders. It's a great course. Good luck with it.

At this point we are not sure, but since the HN posting the odds may be about to lengthen. We will accept text applications if you have a good reason for not doing a video.

Thank you for the feedback. We will be doing more stuff later in the year. I struggle with self learning, too. Peer pressure makes such a difference. Please follow @selforganising for updates.
