TEACHING CODE: Dev Bootcamp is one of a growing number of immersive technical schools geared to preparing people, regardless of their skills or background, for jobs in the technology industry.
A year ago, Peggy Fox was analysing grades and other data on student performance for Chicago Public Schools in a grant-funded position that was about to expire.
