Instructors:

do you see people with CS degrees, from 10+ years ago, going to bootcamps to learn new skills?

I'm in that situation and mostly worked in network, sysadmin & security and also got an LIS so I'm quite removed from the front-end/back-end relationship on a practical level and would like to start some projects and be able to use things like node.js to solve common/daily issues quickly.

Your thoughts? (I'm probably just going to find some times to read up and exercise but was curious about other's thoughts?)

Also, has anyone from Canada tried any good school here? (From Montreal here, but interested about other big cities...)

I have two friends that did this. One to learn app development, and the other to learn Ruby. The app developer started her own company and is doing pretty well (at least paying her own bills), the ruby guy didn't like it, and went back to his sysadmin job.
