Comment on Ask HN: Attend a coding bootcamp or self study?

Comments

I recently had to make this decision. It was a tough decision but in the end I made my own curriculum based off of the syllabus of the bootcamp I was accepted to. I’m already disciplined at self study and been remote working happily for years so a self-bootcamp works for me. It depends greatly on your brother’s learning style and current life situation.

Also, I decided that online bootcamps at the price of offline is not worth it.

And these articles really helped me made the decision:

I also talked to a lot of alumni of the coding bootcamp I was considering and talked to other people online including those who self-studied and currently had a development job.
