I love Launch School. As you mention, it's definitely not a 'bootcamp' as people normally think of one. You're not locked into an $XXXXX program - it's a straight $200/mo (which can be paused/restarted any time; no contract) for as long as it takes you. The focus is on truly learning concepts. Once you're out of the Prep course, you have to pass written and oral assessments to move on to the next part of the program. Take a look at their intro material (free): https://launchschool.com/books https://launchschool.com/books https://launchschool.com/courses https://launchschool.com/courses They also encourage students to publish experiences during (and after) the course: https://medium.com/launch-school https://medium.com/launch-school That said, I've been start/stopping for the past couple of years and can't speak highly enough about it. I'm hoping life has settled down enough for me to start back in a month or so (and finally complete the core curriculum!)
