Ask HN: Dev bootcamps for experienced but mediocre developers

16 pointsby crudmonkey13 anni fa5 comments

Are there any Dev bootcamps targeted at experienced developers?

I'm talking about your average Joe working in the corporate world who knows how to mashup frameworks together and get a working product but lacks a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Things like: Algorithms & DS, Operating Systems, Concurrency, Functional Programming, software design and design patterns, problem solving skills, open source tools and contributing to open source projects, etc.

Basically the skills your average corporate programmer needs to join companies like Google, Amazon, etc.

Consider a master's program in CS. Many programs are fine with work experience, and relatively little-to-no research experience.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there's Hacker School: https://www.hackerschool.com/

a few options,

however, if we want to become outstanding developers, the only option is to work harder, smarter, and enjoy the process

I'm subscribed to Pluralsight training. Maybe only a few courses might be relevant but it's a relatively cheap entry cost for the possible ROI.
