I’m in a well known bootcamp in SF right now (after flirting with idea for a few years and finally making the timing work). Having hit the half way point, I would say the day-to-day format has been very conducive to learning, at least for me.

Basic structure is: -nightly readings and videos on a new concept -a homework on the readings -a quiz on the material

Next day: -a half day lecture on the new material from the previous night. -a half day of paired project work on the material.

I think the reason why it’s a pretty effective format is because it forces you to struggle on your own the night (homework and quiz force you to do something and not just read along) before some new concept is taught, meaning you’re not going into a lecture completely cold. Then in the lecture you can solidify your understanding of the material, ask questions, follow along demos, and then really have things sink in with the longer, more difficult project work that same day.

I never experienced a coding camp (and i don't know if this is a thing here in Europe).

But that sounds reasonable and i just made a note about this for my plannings.

Thanks for your insights.
