'''Coding Bootcamps''' are short (usually 8 - 12 week) programs offered by private companies that teach students coding and big data skills in a short period of time. |
|||
==Overview== |
|||
The demand for coding bootcamps reflects the shortage of adequately trained computer scientists graduating from universities and the relative demand for them from the technology sector.<ref>{{cite newspaper|url=http://venturebeat.com/2015/11/08/coding-bootcamps-are-replacing-computer-science-degrees/ |title="Coding Bootcamps are Replacing Computer Science Degrees" |newspaper=[[Venture Beat]]}}</ref>. They provide a vocational training for free or a fraction of the cost of a college degree and are a part of the "Edtech Disruption of Higher Education" <ref>{{cite newspaper| url=http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/29/edtechs-next-big-disruption-is-the-college-degree/ |title="Edtech's Next Big Disruption is the College Degree"}}</ref>. Some programs like [[Dev Bootcamp]] and [[General Assembly]] charge students tuition while others, like [[The Data Incubator]] and [[Hacker School]] are free to students and are paid for by employers <ref>{{cite news |url=http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/15/ny-gets-new-bootcamp-for-data-scientists-its-free-but-harder-to-get-into-than-harvard/ |title=NY Gets New Bootcamp for Data Scientists: It's free but Harder to get into than Harvard |first=Eric |last=Blattberg |newspaper=[[Venture Beat]] }}</ref>. |
