Any kinds of loans/financial aid for people who can't afford it? I came to SF with the goal of becoming a good programmer, but have a net worth of about 3.5k, one of which is this computer.

I have a question:

I've tried to learn Ruby and don't think it is for me. Too hard to deal with setting up my environment and the language just does not come easily to me.

Can you recommend a program like yours that is of very high quality that focuses on Python, JavaScript (possibly with HTML/CSS) or Objective-C?
