Anyone been through one of these things? What was your experience? Know anyone who has? Did they get a job from it?

They're a meme for goldrush seeking college dropouts.
All the good ones require you to already know enough to get hired, and they focus more on "The game" you have to play to get a good job, like CVs, whiteboarding, technical vocabulary, explaining yourself etc..Not really about just learning to be a better programmer. They'll teach you all that weird shit that will make you crush a job interview.
All the introduction ones won't teach you anything you can't learn online for free in the same amount of time (or less). Literally only good if you can't teach yourself and for some crazy fucking reason won't go to school to learn instead.
Teach yourself or go to school instead.

No, they are scams, go read a book back to front and do the non-retarded exercises.

Well some people learn better in that environment. If that's you then go for it, but I suspect most people on Jow Forums would be better off teaching themselves.

And don't read meme books recommended by Jow Forums.
If you're starting out buy a modern book, ideally one that assumes no knowledge, something like Kochans C book is perfect and it doesn't take more than a few weeks to complete if you're a NEET or working part-time.
But know at least the bare-minumum of High School math and basic set theory and you have a good launching point.
Also learn to be a mathematician, not being a math person is a meme, passion is learned and math is actually funner than vidya once you get past the learning curve, ofcourse if you're bad at something you're not gonna wanna do it, just push through.

Haven't been to one, but I know a guy who went and got a job shortly after. He said they fully prepared him for the workforce and it only took like 3 months + $10k so definitely seems worth it for him.
He did say though that you can take the projects as far as you want and he spent pretty much all day working on them, sommething not everyone there did and not everyone was able to find a job as quickly as him.
Samuel Ross
Let me add on by saying he's a front-end web dev working mostly with javascript and most likely could have just taught himself with online resources for practically free. Not everyone is that disciplined, though.

>paying for udemy
Almost all content on udemy can be found for free without even trying hard to find it, pretty sure that's another major complaint is that anything uploaded to udemy is instantly available for free without even looking hard
