coding boot camp
Developer training program
A coding boot camp is an intensive, short-term training program that teaches programming skills, typically over several weeks or months rather than years.
The programs promise to transform beginners into employable developers quickly: She quit her marketing job and enrolled in a coding boot camp.
Boot camps emphasize practical skills over theory, often focusing on web development or data science.
The term borrows from military boot camp—grueling but transformative.
