What do you think of coding bootcamps?

There is always a cost- either time or money. If I *could* learn something very quickly but it cost more money, and I felt confident that I'd see a decent ROI, then I'd spend the money, because I'm not 18 with a lifetime in front of me. I've heard people argue that it's unrealistic to really come out in such a short amount of time with any depth, so perhaps the amount of time isn't long enough. I've seen a lot of articles and blogs floating around online and LinkedIn by graduates of these kinds of programs. I think that since they are outside of mainstream education, you have to do a lot of homework to be sure you're picking the best program.
