I don't think you can be a developer in 8 - 12 weeks, as mentioned in this article.

8 - 12 weeks spending 8 hours a day in a classroom is between 320 hours and 480 hours learning time, plus whatever additional effort the student puts in during evenings and weekends. It's plausible that a 12 week bootcamp could equate to 1000 hours of structured development time with a decent mentor. There are 3 year CS degrees that give a student far less.
