#12Not a boot camp, it encourages "self-taught". If you go, you'll be pursuing those more advanced topics at your own pace. But you're sure to meet like-minded folks and learn from them as well.
I learned about RC through Hacker News posts, so its fitting I pass along the recommendation this way.

Feedback is appreciated!

#18If you're looking for a good shortcut get the Imposters Handbook: https://bigmachine.io/products/the-imposters-handbook/ The author, Rob Connery, has got a number of online courses out. I've attended a few and he's an exceptional instructor. Least this self taught developer understands him:>). Good luck!
