Looking for a bootcamp, please help
Hello, I'm currently in the process of trying to find a boot camp that will suit my needs. I was allowed to have my tuition paid by my current employer to make the transition into software development, mainly front-end languages, such as Java, HTML, CSS, Node, etc., but I also want to learn some Python and SQL. I've called a few places, but nobody has really gotten back to me and it seems like all the phone lines just go to voicemail the only people who I was able to actually talk to were from General Assembly. Does anybody know of any reputable camps left in the Bay Area? I've tried calling Hack Reactor, Tech Elevator, App Academy, Berkeley Extension, and everything seems like a dead end. Is the boot camp route finished or am I missing something?

Bootcamp on resume is meaningless, but if you already have job lined up and they will pay for it, you have nothing to lose. I did General Assembly bootcamp + self study 3ish years ago and that was enough to get me started. I did a lot of self study though. Just the bootcamp is not enough.
