The Seattle training organization called Code Fellows teaches Ruby on Rails, Python, JavaScript, and more, guaranteeing a $60,000 job offer to some grads, or their money back. Next week, however, the students in one of its training camps will be an atypical audience: homeless women and their kids.

Students at Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission will learn basic programming skills, as an entree to future classes, jobs, or just a hobby. (The $60k job guarantee will not be in effect.)

Awesome – plain and simple
What a great initiative!
