I did three years ago. Basically spent three weeks reading books and doing exercises available online for about 3-5 hours a day and then nine weeks of M-F 9 AM - 11 pm and probably 4-9 hours each day of the weekend doing curated exercises intended to get you to the point at the end of the bootcamp where you could get a functional web app up and knew how to teach yourself anything you were missing. Which, obviously, was a lot.

Everyone who did the program with me now makes six figures in the Bay Area or decent salaries if they left. All of us who stuck with it (rather than moving to project management, etc) are working alongside people who got 4 year CS degrees and getting paid in the same range.

If you like coding, it's a pretty sweet deal. My brother-in-law recently went through the program (six months ago) and landed a job that more than doubled his salary back in Arizona, so it's not like it's only useful if you want to do the start-up SF thing.
