You don't have teachers at all too at Epitech? I went thought Epitech 10 years ago, we had a couple :)

Yeah for sure we have some, but the learning is principaly made by yourself and thanks other students.

I was too. But it was more assistants like "astek" than teachers i think.

Yes, it's still "assistants" students

Vianney, Olivier, Mickael etc...?

Sounds like a hateful attitude to me...

Interesting! How is this different than OpenWhisk?

OpenWhisk runs as a long-lived service which runs your code in Docker containers. In a way, it's a hammer.

IOpipe can deploy code anywhere, which includes both Docker and OpenWhisk. It's the nail. You could deploy an app with IOpipe to OpenWhisk then run a map-reduce job on the same OpenWhisk cluster, on Docker Swarm, AWS Lambda, or... anywhere

It would be easy to stand up a service based on IOpipe that works like OpenWhisk, but that's just one use-case.

I want to add, that I did not understand all the rage against school 42 in a previous post. Those guys basically offer free Education. This is awesome. We are VERY happy to see another school in the US using this peer-learning and project-based approach to train software engineers. When we launched Holberton School last year we knew there would more school like this coming to the US, but we are glad that school 42 is the one launching today! Congratulations to the whole team 42!

no, it's not free.

Holberton School [0] & Make School [1] are very good alternative to college.

Make School is a great school. I have talked to students, they love it. Also a YC company :)

FYI also sounds like Holberton School[1] - 100% project-based.

Thanks wasd, servers are overloaded, we were not expected so much traffic. We are scaling now.

We were not expecting so much traffic, that's great! I scaled up our infrastructure and we are back in business :)

lol :) The school is named after Betty Holberton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Holberton

wow... too much traffic... sry guys. We are scaling the servers right now!

Hello everyone! I am one of the three co-founders, please LMK if you have any question!

Hi Julien - would you mind talking a little about what you see as the value difference to a student completing your two year program vs completing a bootcamp program and say, jumping into an apprenticeship or learning on the job somewhere?

Techcrunch puts it better that we do: "Here’s the problem. Learning technology-related skills in 8 weeks is really, at best, the tip of the techberg. We’re selling students an unrealistic short-term outcome. Because of this illusion, we are saturating the market with students who understand very little about products or engineering, yet still expect to get jobs that require years of experience. As any experienced product or web engineer will tell you, it takes at least a few years to wrap your head around how the web and business work together." (source: http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/29/graduated-from-an-engineeri...)

Code is one of the many skills solid software engineers must be great at; and we believe only real projects such as the ones we do at Holberton School can build up the real experience and skill variety recruiters expect from solid engineers. More and more companies are taking on a "no-bootcamp" policy, because the bootcamp trainee are saturating the job market, and recruiters are noticing they don't fit the bill as well as students with project history.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know about a typo here: https://www.holbertonschool.com/education#projects

Thanks stevepm! Fixed!
