Lambda School (online "bootcamp")?

This has piqued my interest: a free online “mini-bootcamp,” apparently emphasizing Python: https://lambdaschool.com/mini-bootcamp . This “Lambda School” also operates longer, paid streaming “bootcamps.”

Anybody have any experience with them? It doesn’t look like it covers a lot of topics, but for the free after-hours one at least the price and time are right for me. I’ma give it a try and report back.

Hi AbdiViklas. Did yoo take above mentioned lambda school mini bootcamp? If so, could you please share your thoughts on it?
Thanks)))

I wound up not doing it; I realized Python wasn’t actually what I need to do right now. @rmdawson71 's review seems more useful; I’d add that the materials I saw certainly look like a good value for free … but yeah, my price point for them would be something way way lower. Not so much because I saw them actually teaching bad practices or anything like that, but because there just wasn’t that much there. Imagine a slack channel, like @tropicalchancer’s cohorts–so that’s cool, for real-time peer support–plus Youtube videos of one guy explaining things, plus probably some project source code, plus hopefully some mentor presence. It’s basically the fCC, but attempting to put a price tag on it.
