Pros: You'll learn a lot in a short amount of time and it isn't too expensive
Cons: The bootcamps can be very difficult, it is easy to fall behind, and they are mostly functional. They are not going to give you as wide a range of knowledge or theory as a 4 year degree.
What is your plan after the bootcamp and what do you want to get out of it? It is easier to get a job with a bachelors, but that only matters for your first job. Once you have job experience and recommendations it doesn't matter if you went to college to learn programming.
i would like to be hired as a junior dev. but also have side projects and freelance
i don't have time to do a 4 yr degree in computer science. I guess I'm just asking if bootcamps are legit and worth the effort and money to get jump started in the area you choose.
