Not a bootcamp, but egghead.io is a fantastic resource, and udemy can be an awesome resource for specific classes (but there is a lot of junk to wade through)

#22Lambda Academy of Computer Science - a six month, full-time deep dive into software engineering and computer science. Closer to a CS degree than a one-month bootcamp. You need to know basic programming before enrolling.
It's free up-front and takes a percentage of income after you get a job, or you can pay up-front.

#23How about moocs? Am algorithms class will level you up for sure.
https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms comes to mind.

#24Advanced folks will have very specific needs that are hard to meet for any course with a pre-determined curriculum.
Perhaps a better approach would be to hire an expert from a consultancy, negotiate a detailed custom curriculum together and go from there? It would certainly be expensive but perhaps within reach for a small group or for heavily motivated individuals?

#25Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most bootcamps geared toward preparing people for jobs? I feel like in this current market having to attend a bootcamp as a experienced developer would send off negative signals about one's ability to stay up on current tech/trends.

I'm a currently-employed web developer (bootcamp grad) and I'd love to see a part-time (nights and/or weekends), cash up front offering to deepen my CS knowledge. Just throwing that out there in case part-time something you guys have thought about. I'm sure I'm not the only bootcamp grad that could use an in-depth CS program.

#27I'm working with Hyperion Development[0] which has a wide variety of online bootcamps with 1:1 mentor support. We have courses targeting beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Currently we are just about to deploy a big update but have a look and you might find what you are looking for.

Yeah, we think about it a lot. We want to be very careful about scaling into something like that because the part-time dynamic is very different than full-time, and the most important thing to us is our student experience.
It would also be long, if we used the current curriculum. Like... a year long. We're not sure if that's too much of a commitment for most folks, so we're asking.

#29I have done CodePath twice and highly recommend for iOS and android bootcamps. https://codepath.com/
The site states:
>"Students must pass a rigorous selection process to be admitted to any of our programs."
Would you be able to share what that selection process entails exactly?

#30There's a great option here in SF called BradfieldCS.
