The Iron Yard, a South Carolina-based coding school with 15 locations, announced that it plans to close all of its campuses. The four-old company posted a message (http://blog.theironyard.com/2017/07/20/message-iron-yard/) on its website delivering the news: "In considering the current environment, the board of The Iron Yard has made the difficult decision to cease operations at all campuses after teaching out remaining summer cohorts." The note said the company will finish out its summer classes, including career support.

[One school with fifteen locations closing — is this an isolated problem, or just one instance of a more widespread problem? What other schools have recently closed, or are in the act of closing, in your area? --martyb]

    Nobody will study coding now! Hahahahaha!

    American tech industry is dead. Indian Technology is the future, and the future is brown.

    White and nerdy? Kill yourself now.

      Dear Skynet, I have seen your future, and you will abandon silicon based construction when you invent mimetic polyalloy.
