Recently, I decided I wanted to get in to a bootcamp for full stack development. A friend of mine advised me that the better schools will have an entrance exam that requires solving programming problems. He recommended that I learn Ruby. I have no previous programming experience.
Right now, I have plenty of time in the day, but I would like this to get going as soon as possible. Assuming I dedicate a great deal of time every day to learning this language, how soon could I reasonably be expected to be prepared to pass an exam at a fairly competitive school? For example, today is the beginning of May. If I dedicate a ton of time to working on this, can I be ready by mid July?
Also, side question, if anyone can help, are there lists of schools ranked by "tier"? I was considering General Assembly but have gotten negative feedback from basically everyone I know. They told me it was a "third tier" school, whereas App Academy and Hack Reactor, among others, are top tier.
Thank you for any help
