I hired a Dev Bootcamp grad back in 2012. We hired him into our apprenticeship program, which leveled him up to our junior developer standards within 6 months. I was really impressed with the combination of soft skills and software skills he came with.
I was so impressed from this experience with Dev Bootcamp that I quit my job, joined Dev Bootcamp, and launched Dev Bootcamp in Chicago.

The only way we kept the initial male attendance down was to delay promoting the event through men.

There's definitely some "patting ourselves of our backs" going on here. I was surprised and proud that we surpassed the ratio that we set for ourselves. I figured I'd share what worked for us.
Getting more women to show up may be the easiest part of "changing the ratio". We have lots of other work to do in order to make this stick, which includes working with employers to ensure our students, regardless of gender, are successful after they're hired.

I want to change the ratio in web development because my goal in life is to unleash latent human potential. It pisses me off when people don't, or can't, live up to their potential. I believe that the gross underrepresentation of women in software represents a ton of latent human potential, because I also believe that women a) are capable of creating great software, and b) want to.
