Are "Coding Bootcamps" a meme? Can they really get you a decent job? What about Lambda school?

Its a ponzi scheme for those bootcamps to get some ez cash and donations
you are better off learning your own pace and sending examples to employers
Jason James
working hard will get you a decent fucking job, bootcamps can help but relying on them alone is for retards
Nathan Barnes
Meme. Sure you'll learn the syntax of whatever language they teach but you'll be shit at using it. Only experience will make you not suck.
Sebastian Price
How does one get experience without a job which needs experience to qualify for? CS degree really the only way? All those self-taught websites just teach syntax but that's it.
Samuel Wood
Wrong, Wrong, and Wrong
My coding bootcamp has given jobs to more than 87% of our graduates in 6-9 months
Jordan Carter
wow that's amazing, which bootcamp was that! :D I've just got a pile of money ready to throw at my problem
Charles James
i think he was memeing lad
Christian Hill
no shit so was I you stupid cunt
Robert Gray
>job
Like all jobs you experience, especially for something as daft as coding
People will give you things they want done, in a way that is presentable and accessible to them.. That's coding.
Zachary Walker
Have you ever heard of the Open Source community before?
Liam Richardson
Like personal little projects you put on Github after you already know how to program?
Elijah Martinez
if you don't pay for it, I don't see a problem. Getting a decent job doesn't have much to do with the medium, it has to do with how much you learned afterwards and if you can apply it.
most of these 'bootcamps' seem good for basic syntax and loop operations and thats about it, but it's a foot in the door.
Robert Nguyen
Arizona State University has an online Bachelors of CS and Software Engineering OP. it's kinda expensive but decent depending on your situation since it's accredited by ABET.
Jayden King
Of course you pay for it you imbecile, you think these people are learning that shit for free?
Nicholas Garcia
Actually yeah dude, they are learning that shit for free. There are plenty of interactive tutorial courses that cost zero monies. Companies have an incentive to provide free resources to people that will ultimately come and work for them.
you imbecile?
Ryan Rogers
Show me one "bootcamp" that is 100% free of charge. Of course you'll come up with a braindead response like "Google it haha" because there are none that are free
Brandon Jones
you're joking right? I don't know any off the top of my head so i _did_ google it and instantly the first thing that came up was codeacademy's entire full free course offering.
Lincoln Miller
Seriously just stop, you're making it more and more obvious you're in high school
John Powell
god I wish i was in highschool, real life sucks sometimes. Anyway though I was completely right about what I said so are you just butthurt now?
Logan Gutierrez
Butthurt that you're a moron that doesn't know what he's talking about? Not at all
Wyatt Allen
The coding bootcamps you attend in person? not sure.
Honestly just go on youtube, there's ton's of free HOW2CODE videos on there. I learned python & C++ through watching youtube videos.
online-learning.harvard.edu
Harvard provides a free CS course, you can pay like 120 for a cert if you want but yeah.
Hudson Peterson
go to recurse center
changed my life
Dylan Taylor
>get experienced building portfolio
>show portfolio to employer
>get hired on the spot because everyone else just has qualifications with no proof of ability
Wyatt Clark
don't know what I'm talking about? i said there are free courses, you called bullshit, i proved you wrong. you tell me to stop? you lost jackass just give up and give me a big ol kiss
Luis Flores
The benefit of bootcamps, and also college desu, is that you actually get semi-competent people to look at your code and give you suggestions.
It's hard to know what you're doing wrong, especially when your code still works.
Michael Young
Not that guy but the first thing you bring up is Codeacademy which teaches you nothing but babby tier intro syntax. You don't learn anything worthwhile if you want to actually get experience.
Camden Howard
Theres high quality pdfs floating around for just about anything you could ever want to learn. No one is gonna look at a resume and see "Code Bootcamp? Hire this man!", so just learn it yourself.
Benjamin Sanders
He wants to get paid for his work tho
Noah Stewart
>just move to new york bro
Carson Ward
plenty of people do, often internationally
if you're in special snowflake victim groups (women, trans, """nonbinary""", black) they'll even give you a stipend.
Colton Wood
NYC is one of the most expensive places in America.
recurse.com
>You’re eligible for a grant if you identify as a woman (cis or trans), trans*, genderqueer, non-binary, Black, Latinx, Native American, or Pacific Islander. Since the Recurse Center is free for everyone, the grants are intended to be used for living expenses during your batch. You can use your grant for housing, food, childcare, or anything else you need during your time here. For a twelve week batch you may request a grant of between $500 and $7,000.
who can live there off this little?
Nicholas Roberts
you would need some savings or money from a parent, obviously.
the way they fund their operations is through placement fees with employers so they're motivated to make sure you get a job afterwards
no guarantees obviously though
Luis Lee
I gotta find something online. 25, fucked up in college when I started and don't qualify for CS at my local school (could do another degree but I wanna stick to this) Stuck in Florida for the time being. Probably gonna do this since they're ABET accredited and a fairly ok school.
Matthew James
theres also the georgia tech masters in cs program
