I take it your skeptical of boot camps ?

My logic is that if I'm personally reaching someone for a month that'll be more effective than putting them in a classroom for 12 weeks.

I think many (most?) boot camps are money grabs that overpromise and underdeliver. I've also seen great juniors come out of boot camps. Either way, you're now talking about something different than your original question - most jobs out there are not junior-level jobs, so a month or a few of boot camp or self study just aren't sufficient.
