I'm 36 years old, I live in Brazil and I've been working my entire adult life in jobs related to my college graduation (I have a law degree). I have achieved a comfortable position and a very nice annual salary in my Country, but I feel the need to pursue a little bit more my particular passion: technology.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and, thanks to your real world lessons, you motivated me to learn more and more about technology. Thanks to your guidance, I teached myself some basic and intermediate PHP and MySQL techniques and started to successfully combine my present job’s bureaucratic tasks with my “new talents”.
Despite the fact that I’ve been pretty successful in teaching myself some nice modern programming language skills, I think that a boost in my knowledge would be very welcome.
Due to the lack of good programming short courses in my own Country, I’ve been looking for American bootcamps options like “Coding Dojo” and “The Tech Academy”, that offers 8 to 15 weeks hands on training programs.
Thankfully, I have sufficient time, money and (at least, I think) the motivation to complete the bootcamps intensive programs, but I’ve been questioning myself if they are a real good options to learn how to code with advanced techniques.
So, there comes my QUESTION: do you think that it would be a good idea to engage in this sort of intensive training or it would be a better option to continue to teach myself with books and videos in a cheaper and slower pace?
Any advice of yours would be very appreciated.
