Most bootcamps that I'm aware of are for training web developers, with a few going into mobile app development. That will give you some basic coding skill but is probably not going to get you very far in the direction you want to go.

You'd most likely be better off seeking an online CS degree.

Yeah, I'd actually be pretty interested in a bootcamp that teaches deep learning. AFAIK that doesn't exist, but it should (?)

I don't think there's enough time to teach. My machine learning class at Berkeley only felt like we were getting our feet wet.

Looking some more, the closest I can find are some "Data Science" bootcamps (like Insight and DataIncubator). But they require PhDs.

So yeah, maybe the only way it could work is if you already know it. They just give you a refresher and find you a job.
