How to transition from Boot Camp or a Comp Sci degree into a Journeyman Coder
Boot Camps and formal education are businesses; their products are curricula and they market the ability to transfer knowledge in exchange for money. This isn't a bad thing, if you want those types of skills and you are driven enough to use them to earn a living then it is a win-win solution.
But what if the curricula doesn't match what you need for success?
Putting together a boot camp or college class takes a lot of time and money, and the organization has limits of both. Further, they have to ensure that any class they produce earns more than it costs to make and support. Trying to teach everything isn't possible because different industries need different skills. Boot camps teach you a broad base of currently needed skills, but may not have the right depth or core for the industry you're targeting. Colleges often have depth and usually focus on theory more than on modern application.
In the end, you own the challenge of understanding what skills you need, what your career and life goals are, and how to achieve them. This project won't tell you exactly what to do but it will help you frame the questions and begin to find the answers.
