All really great responses already to this comment but to add one more - a bootcamp is a structured and trialled course. Ultimately this leads to fast acceleration in learning: The topics you learn are current and high priority (e.g. learning to write clean and readable code while or testing) Common issues are well documented/there is a support network in place - you hit diminishing returns on learning quite fast when you get stuck. Yes, you could probably learn this stuff yourself but it'll take longer and don't underestimate the value of collective intelligence/group learning
