This intern spent the summer working on an HTML/JSPs/CSS/Struts/Ajax/Javascript web app, the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel. In a couple months, he was able to make significant improvements to our CSS and image sprites, not to mention other enhancements and bug fixes. Rackspace gets a ton of great code out of our interns, while the interns get to work on real products, get paid, and then get easy A’s.
Pretty sweet deal.
