I think I need to go to a bootcamp, so I can go through everything I need to learn: how to pair program, how to explain your code to someone else, how to prepare for a technical interview, etc.

I came out of a bootcamp. It was the best thing that could have happened to my future, hands down.

@kevbost which one did you go to?

The Iron Yard 🤘

I came out of a bootcamp too. My 2 cents is don't go to a bootcamp, learn on Your own and find an online mentor. If you need to be presented with a curriculum or hand held/spoon fed then a bootcamp is great.

I learned best practices at the bootcamp. I could and did learn it all on udemy and team treehouse

Find a non-technical person and practice explaining your code to them.

@champion01 Is it not worth it at all?

@burswag It just depends on how you learn. For me, having someone up in the front of a room going over prototypal inheritance taught me prototypal inheritance.

@kevbost yeah, I think right now, I need to be and work with other like-minded people. Though I also understand the other side of the argument (non-bootcamp route).

@burswag I understand it to, but there's nothing quite like having peers in the real world going through the same educational struggles as you are.

@burswag @kevbost is right,just depends on your cup of tea.

@kevbost co-signed. I enjoyed my experience, even miss it sometimes.
