Career question RE: IT computer science field
I am interested in getting some job training in web development/computer coding career field. I have very little techie ability but am very interested in learning. Been reading up on some of these web development boot camps that teach you all this nerdazoid stuff in 9-12 weeks.
Example http://www.devbootcamp.com Does anyone here have an opinion or experience about such job training? Comments regarding anyone's experience in the career field is also encouraged. TIA |

You're bound to get 50 different opinions on what you need in order to get into IT, but I personally wouldn't spend the time looking at those types of courses. Just looking at the homepage makes me think "if it looks too good to be true...". Learn the stuff yourself and freelance, get certifications, or find a decent CS program. If their main selling point is getting it done as quickly as possible, it probably won't do you any good in the long run.

If that new immigration act goes through, it includes more visas for even more cheap foreign workers to be put into the job search field. So be careful.

Hmmm market flooded with experienced cheap labor doesn't bode we'll for newbies entering the field. Have to keep that in mind

If you are starting from zero, you can't take a boot camp class and know what you are doing. It's not possible. No one is going to hire you, no matter what the boot camp promises you. Any of the top money jobs require you to have a knack for the field and job responsibilities.You can't just take some classes and your set. There is a lot of feedback on this question in the official I.T. thread.
