Earn a $10,000 signing bonus if you join ArsDigita after completing our home study program.
Earn $1,000 for completing 3 problem sets during one of our remote or on-location boot camps. If interested, send email application to bootcamp@arsdigita.com (include resume stating software engineering experience and reasons for attending). Boot camp costs us about $10,000 per student to operate, but generally we don't look to students to recover these costs. We'll be trying to find candidates who are either (1) interested in contributing to the open-source ArsDigita Community System community, or (2) considering working at ArsDigita.com.
Ongoing remote boot camp: We will provide an account on one of our Oracle-backed machines and guide you through our problem sets. Most of the work will be done remotely, but we can schedule a time for you to visit and work with us for a few days.
Cambridge, Ma.

Objectives
We want to teach everyone the Web/db and community service development skills that they'd get from the problem sets in our one-semester course at MIT, plus the following:
enough about Unix that they don't impose too great a load on the professional sysadmins
enough about Oracle that they don't impose too great a load on the professional database administrators
(in the glorious long version) enough about our server architecture and procedures that they can keep a service up and running 24x7
Hidden agenda: At least a few folks from each boot camp seem to end up working at arsdigita.com or one of its customers.
Before ADuni, ArsDigita hosted a number of weeklong workshops at their regional offices. Anyone here attend one of those?
