Why so many coding schools/bootcamps recently?

why have coding schools proliferated recently?

Does it signify higher industry demand for entry level trainees or higher worker demand for training?

Money comes in, credentials go out. That's just another iteration of the education industry.

sure, but i'm wondering how it ties in with supply and demand in the IT labour market.

PS how do i get this post to show ib Ask HN rather than on the news page?

You must prefix it with "Ask HN:"

I really don't expect companies to hire people right out of a course that taught basic HTML,Javascript, PHP, Python or RoR. There were already lots of qualified people out there without a job before that fad caught on (the fad that a single course over a few months would turn people into geniuses.)
