Yes - I was super disappointed by the last two to three paragraphs. Was there any research there? Some evidence that these coding schools and boot camps actually provide value?
I didn't finish my computer science degree, I've never done a single boot camp or coding school, and I used to write ColdFusion before moving to VBScript / Classic ASP. Talk about obsolete! But I learned VB.NET and C#. I migrated to HTML 5 and CSS 3 and through jQuery and newer JavaScript libraries. Now I'm a Node.js developer. Go figure! My "learning by doing" has nothing at all to do with any formal education, least of all the aforementioned boot camps!
