Bootcamps don't have anywhere near the quality employers want and they all get lumped together. Its worth less that the University of Phoenix.

They used to be a wonderful place for a company that needs to upskill their employees on a tech stack quickly.
But, those books though. There books seduced my soul to the depth of knowledge and intricate nature to the mobile ecosystem.
I legitimately can’t think of books that were better on mobile.

Agreed - their books were/are inspiring. I think we need books more than ever for iOS and macOS since Apple's documentation doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be.

It seems that Apple intends people to mostly use WWDC videos to learn their newest tech.

Big Nerd Ranch was running boot camps long before the crop of web dev camps that came up in the last little while. It really was a way you could get into Mac OS X and iOS dev early on. Beyond that, it felt like the best way was to have already been an OpenStep developer.
