Ask HN: Reviews on Turing Academy? Programming Schools?

My brother is considering joining a programming school (sometimes colloquially referred to as bootcamps). Specifically, he's looking at the Turing School of Software & Design (http://turing.io/).

Before he commits to the tuition (17.5-19k), I wanted to do some due diligence, reach out to some alumni and check them on their 100% job placement claim.

Has anyone had experience with this Turing Academy? Are they as good as them seem? Any other recommendations for programming schools?

Thanks!
