As some of you know, I've been studying the emerging market

for "code schools", not an entirely new phenomenon, but

spiraling through a next iteration around now. 

Why am I interested?

Because per my LinkedIn profile, I've been working in this arena

for a long time, back to the 1980s when I was a trainer in

Lotus 1-2-3, dBase and WordPerfect.  "I go way back" as they
say, in the Way Back Machine (see archive.org).

Here's one of my recent BI-like findings, using my own neural

net (the one between my ears):  code schools are in need of

on-the-shelf prototypes that students might hack on, both alone

and together, and a logical application every code school needs

is (drum role): an on-line gift shop (with optional brick 'n mortar

add-on with point of sale devices).
