Nucamp?

So NuCamp has no bar and focuses on experience outcomes instead of job placements. To be fair, if you wanted to compare it to Codesmith say, you would need to take a sample of people who got accepted to Codesmith and have them do NuCamp instead, and then compare the outcomes, otherwise it's apples and oranges. That said, NuCamp only has 4ish hours once a week of live instruction, and the rest is self study, homework, graded work, etc... so that's also how they keep the cost down. Whereas a lot of programs have instructors 8+ hours a day... and keep costs down by hiring former students to teach.
