Surprised you're being downvoted. This is a good response to OP, and I completely agree with it. I'd also like to add, I don't understand how the "credentials" earned from these bootcamps are rated so highly in some peoples' minds.
I can see that a mentored, fine tuned curriculum would be beneficial to someone not sure where to start but it feels crazy to charge someone more than a couple grand for what is essentially freely available information. I think this type of school is preying on people's conditioning to think a traditional college-like environment is more serious or worth it somehow.
