The school 42 its NOT A BOOTCAMP. I think people are not reading the article because i see a lot of people comparing it to bootcamps. It lasts a lot more than bootcamps, 3 years and students never learn rails javascript or any web developement stuff.
[EDIT] You learn the base, lowllevel stuff and you code a lot. Afterwards you are able to pick any language or framework in a week. Students learn to teach themselves.
- fk_mks 10y agoThere is already some web development projects (currently html/css/php and javascript), and RoR subjects are being crafted by students. We start with low level, and after some basics (unix shell, stdlib, printf, corewar, raytracing 3d-engine and web), there's some sysadmin stuff, pentesting, kernel programming, functionnal programming, unity, machine learning, etc.

- tracker1 10y ago+1, 42 seems to be a much better approach than bootcamps and even most University programs when it comes to learning software development. I would think most of these students would be far above and ahead of what I see from a lot of people with even a Masters in CS in terms of aptitude/approach. On the flip side, it's hard to imagine making it through 3+ years of 6x12 days without burning out... Though I'm not sure what the vacation/holiday break schedule looks like.
