The Recurse Center is a three-month, full-time school in New York for becoming a better programer.

Paticipants are expected to start with at least a general programming proficiency as everyone in the program is a teacher and has something to share with their peers. Applicants should genuinely enjoy programming, and they are looking for curiosity, passion, raw intelligence and a desire to build things.

    Hacker School is Incredible
