Ask HN: Online Bootcamp..Suggestions please
3 comments
Generally, boot camps don't teach CS. Probably because CS requires mathematics and abstract concepts like Turing Machines in addition to concrete vocational programming knowledge skills and ability.
For web development I'd recommend Bloc.io. Full disclosure: I know the founders.

I help out on freecodecamp.com they have a really good approach to learning this stuff
I would really appreciate if hacker news community can share their thoughts over whether its a good idea to go for a online bootcamp & which of them are good? There are just too many out there and its just becoming difficult to figure out which one to join.
About me: Employed as an Integration Analyst, currently consulting for a Fortune 500 client in Bay Area. I never recd. formal education in Computer Science and hence looking for something which helps me develop a good foundation as well.
P.S. I have tried learning myself, but didn’t really succeed much because of my unstructured approach. I believe that bootcamp mentorship will be able to provide me the needed ’push’ and ‘direction’.
