Tech Boot Camps is Changing the Way Technology is Taught in the Classroom

Using a combination of "flipped classrooms" that rely on an extensive library of video tutorials, and "Telepresense," TechBootcamps.com thinks they can create Drupal Web Developers in 8 weeks.



The company stated that 53% of college graduates can’t find a job within 4 months of graduation. They also pointed out that the average cost for a private university is over $121,000 for a 4-year degree. The company thinks that’s a big debt to take on without a job.

Enter an entirely new solution, from TechBootcamps.com.

The company promises that their boot camps will take a person from a beginner to an employable Web Developer, as well as give them the hands-on experience and employer contacts that the students need to get a developer position when they graduate. Through their intense 8-week program, students will learn real world skills and produce a portfolio of websites that they can show to prospective employers.

Through TechBootcamps' “Career Days,” the students will be introduced to many employers, face to face. All of these employers will be looking to fill web developer positions. With starting salaries in the technologies taught averaging 50,000 to 60,000 dollars, the company claims their training program can easily pay for itself – and without having to take on a huge student debt.

The company also stated that if a student take a job with any of the employer-partners that participate in their “Career Days,” the company will reimburse the student all or most of his or her tuition. More information is shown on their "Tuition | Application" page.

The total cost of their 8-week program is $5,900 during their launch – and that includes a MacBook Pro. If the student already has a laptop, they can subtract $1,500 and their tuition will be $4,400.

The company says that they also offer $500 scholarships for many individuals, including veterans of the U.S. Military, and females. That would take tuition costs down to $3,900.

Cloudwords Announces Easier Integrations Capabilities in the Developer Center

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 15, 2013) - Cloudwords, the market-leading cloud-based translation management application, today announced the launch of the CloudwordsDeveloper Center, a new developer-centric destination designed to enable easy integration between content management systems (CMS) and the Cloudwords platform. To meet the ever-increasing demand for localized content, Cloudwords is providing new integration capabilities to accelerate the process of multilingual content management by enabling developers to integrate with all major CMS platforms, including Drupal, Adobe CQ, Microsoft Sharepoint, Oracle UCM, and SiteCore, among others.

The Cloudwords Translation Management Automation solution helps companies expand their global presence faster, more easily and with enterprise-class quality. With today's announcement, Cloudwords becomes the most developer-friendly cloud-based translation management solution geared specifically for the enterprise.

"Cloudwords continues to deliver innovations that enable our customers to stay one step ahead when it comes to going to market globally. The Cloudwords Developer Center underscores our commitment to making it even easier and faster for enterprises to manage large amounts of content that need to be translated. By simplifying the integration process behind the scenes, customers can get up and running in the Cloudwords platform even faster, and take advantage of the simplicity of moving content in and out of critical content systems, ultimately delivering increased ROI," said Scott Yancey, CEO and Co-founder of Cloudwords.

The Cloudwords Developer Center features the Cloudwords Sandbox, a unique environment that provides developers a fully automated integration experience. The Cloudwords Sandbox allows developers to quickly build and test Cloudwords integrations with any content system their business users rely on. A simulated end-to-end translation management experience, automated by a translation vendor "robot," means developers can experience the power of Cloudwords in a low-risk environment. Having the ability to test an integration within an environment that mirrors the actual Cloudwords production account allows developers to completely prepare for enterprise roll-out.

The Cloudwords Development Center also includes pre-built integrations for Drupal, Adobe CQ, and others, as well as complete documentation for the company's acclaimed REST-based API, and Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Java, .net, and PHP.

"The ability for companies to easily and efficiently localize their marketing content is mission critical in today's global economy. But this critical enterprise content is locked away inside ungainly content management systems. By leveraging CMS integration capabilities with their translation management application, organizations can finally achieve optimal localization efficiency. If companies aren't streamlining their localization process, they will fall behind their competition when it comes to reaching international markets," said Robinson Kelly, CEO and Co-founder of Clay Tablet Technologies.

"Cloudwords allows ADInstruments to easily integrate our Drupal website with their localization management platform so we can streamline the ongoing process of translating our website content. By integrating with Cloudwords, our content is uploaded, translated and approved within a significantly shorter time frame than the traditional 'cut and paste' approach. Now, we rely on Cloudwords to centralize all our multilingual assets and work with multiple translation vendors to localize content in 13 languages," said Ina Kinski, Hardware and Tools Coordinator at ADInstruments, responsible for website implementation.

Cloudwords' complete cloud-based translation management solution helps companies go global faster by enabling companies to manage the complexity of translation projects from creation to vendor selection to project and billing management. The Cloudwords platform offers easy-to-use, cloud-based project management capabilities so users spend less time manually managing localization projects and complete projects faster.
