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. 

Now Fox, 28, is a month out of a 19-week computer programming "boot camp" and is building an app that helps those hopping on a Divvy bike map out rides. She's also busy lining up interviews for entry-level coding gigs around the city.
