Haven't attended but really want to. One thing I wonder about the boot camps vs. teaching myself is: Even if I'm able to reach a level of proficiency equal to that of, say, a Dev Bootcamp grad, would I be able to find a job?
Graduates of these programs seem to be 'in' and can get hired much more easily. For a relative beginner learning to code, that's a great place to be and, I think, part of the value of a boot camp. My assumption is that a similarly skilled, self-taught newbie will have a harder time getting looked at by the same employers.
Maybe someone can comment on this as well.
