I've been programming professionally for 8 years now and came out of a bootcamp. I had taken some programming courses in high school and college for fun but my knowledge was very limited.

The bootcamp stayed true to the name. Core hours were 9-5 but many of us would get in early (usually 7am) and leave late (sometimes 10pm). I would also go in on weekends, sometimes taking Sunday off. I intentionally went to one in a different city so I wouldn't by distracted by a social life.

The focus was in ruby, then javascript. I got a job as an intern in C#/.NET a few months after graduating. I took the intern position because it seemed a tough sell to get a junior dev position right away. I was promoted to junior dev after just 2 weeks.

The school is no longer around, bought by kaplan and dissolved.
