$14,000 for a 3 month program with no accreditation?
If someone is not in a hurry, spending $20,000 or so for a Harvard Extension School Masters in Software Engineering seems like a better investment. I have a Bachelors (non-STEM) and an MBA, and am taking CS50 right now in preparation for the Masters.
The problem I see with a lot of bootcamps is they focus on specific technologies which may become outdated (thus necessitating re-learning) without giving students a solid grounding in CS. In the long run, if you're willing to make a more gradual transition to programming, a solid grounding in CS is, IMO, a worthwhile investment.
