These boot camps are obviously a reaction to the current demand for developers. I'm not sure if that is permeant. That aside I like the idea here. I think 1-4 months is a greta period of time. You can maintain a great pace that way. Personally, I do better in sprints. My University years were really 5-6 2 week sprints a year spread out between long periods of procrastination (and fun). The useful work I did outside of sprints doesn't amount to much. The idea of paying your tuition (ideally, lower than £12k), working hard for 9 weeks and expecting to meet some legitimately valuable goals at the end of it is appealing to me. Obviously I'm getting speculative, but I can imagine something like this being a fixture of 'lifelong education. Something you can do dozens of times in a lifetime. Zero-to-junior developer is obviously in the current market, can sustain that high tuition. But, I would like to see tuition go down to levels that can make it available for other markets. I can imagine a lot of useful 9-week sprint courses that could be very effective, if the quality was high enough. Writing. Data mining. Accounting.
