Coding Boot Camps

Hello, I am a High School Teacher in The Northeast United States. I have a student who is quite good at programming. Going on to college to pursue a Computer Science Degree is not what he is interested in doing right now. He expressed an interest in going to a coding boot camp. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good camp that might possibly lead to a job. I am open to other suggestions as well. Just trying to guide this student in the right direction as he is probably the first in his family to go on to any higher education. Thank you.

I concur on Kagi. Now when I go to other search engines I just get frustrated.

Wouldn't extensive comments alleviate this? Older appliances used to come with schematics and manuals so you could fix them.

Does it matter with the release of all the CIA Hacking information just released?

If you go back in time cable used to be something you paid for not to have ads. Now look at us dumb folk, paying for cable/satellite and paying to see ads. Books are also filled with ads - if they mention a product by name - most likely it is placed there - American Psycho wow could not get past a page mentioning some list of products...

Just really sick of all the online drama, about any site. Just another typical post on HN criticizing another. You know what, You go build a site that is better and perfect. I am sick of people getting articles posted that just criticize. Go build something better, I dare you.

I feel like the title of this is a lie as the article states something different. I hate being lied to and manipulated.
