Comparing to most online platforms, bootcamps offer better structure, provide mentor support, and include a few practical projects. However, you'll need to be ready to digest a million concepts over the course of several weeks, because the schedule will not be flexible. In the past, bootcamp prices were justified by a so-called "job guarantee", but given recent market trends, this claim is no longer valid. Today, a bootcamp graduate is only slightly more employable than a self-taught coder, which does not seem like good value for money.
