SFGate (San Francisco, CA, Jan. 2) -- While online courses through Coursera, Code Academy, Udacity, Udemy and others have gained popularity recently, one San Francisco education startup is breaking the model. Bloc is a 12-week online apprenticeship designed to teach the fundamentals of Web development, using a mentor for guidance. Both in their 20s, co-founders Dave Paola and Roshan Choxi moved to San Francisco after meeting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008. Paola majored in computer science there, while Choxi majored in computer engineering.
