Ask HN: Any “bootcamps” or courses for intermediate/advanced people?

Yesterday, I saw a HN job ad for One Month - a company that offers a 30-day "bootcamp". I looked at their courses[1] and noticed they're all aimed at beginners.

I'm past the stage where I need a course on Python syntax or HTML. Like many of you, I could teach myself these things. However, I would definitely pay $300 (the cost of the courses mentioned) for good hands-on intermediate or advanced coursework in both software engineering and computer science. Unfortunately I can't come up with any ideas at the moment, sorry :-)

Recurse Center: https://www.recurse.com/. Anecdotally, not so easy to get in.

OP here. I'm an alum! Fall 1 2016. It's not quite the same thing - RC is self-directed. You do what you want instead of following a course or teacher.

This looks like what I am looking for, but I'm in the other side of the country. Thanks though, will keep it in mind.

I have done CodePath twice and highly recommend for iOS and android bootcamps. https://codepath.com/

https://fellowship.ai is machine learning focused program but also has a good deal of python in the mix. Our acceptance rate is ~6%

I can't believe there's still not an equivalent in the Bay Area
