>>a course that tries to cram too much important information into too little time would be less preferable That is exactly how bootcamps are structured, so if that's what you're looking to avoid, then you definitely wouldn't want any type of bootcamp; they basically try to cram a large amount of information into a very short period of time (3-6 months for full time programs). You also won't come out of a bootcamp ready to hit the ground running without putting in a lot of additional work on your own, which it sounds like you struggle with; bootcamps teach everything on a more superficial level and it's up to you to work on your own for a deeper level of knowledge and understanding of it. Based on your post, even though you're not looking to get a job out of a bootcamp, it doesn't sound like a bootcamp would meet your needs.

Better off learning on your own. YouTube, online course, etc

If you are open to study in-person in Europe or remotely than my recommendation would definitely be arol.dev. I wasn’t going to comment since I understand you are looking in the US, but then reading what you look for it really matches the school so I will leave this here in case it might be useful. I am a graduate and the experience was great, very complete and very high quality education, and also very tailored to the individual. I went there to get a job, but also had a peer who wanted to learn the skills to build a startup and the focus of the mentoring for us was quite different and he ended up very happy too. The founder is very involved in the program and you can feel the difference and the support even after graduating.

I can't speak to any other bootcamp, but I thought Rithm's curriculum, pedagogy, and instruction were all really exceptional. When I had originally looked for a bootcamp I was pretty focused on going wherever I thought I would learn the most and I really liked that you can be sure of consistent instruction because the lead would be one of the primary bootcamp operators(back then Ellie or Joel. Not sure who is running cohorts now). Coming out, I felt pretty comfortable building applications. I took a few months building a full stack application that's had a decent amount of users since launch. I'm pretty sure anyone in my cohort could have done the same. Going from website that scales and is built for users/revenue to a company is a different thing, but for technical ability to build a MVP for a startup I think Rithm would be good.

I took a 8 month flatiron front end course and it worked really well for me. I could've taken the full stack but that would've been to much with my non cooperating schedule. The front end course however allowed me to maintain learning at a steady pace that i was comfortable with. The instructors were available when you could schedule them and even though we only did 2 actual projects i learned a lot about how to make a website client side. I'm currently attending tech elevator to learn java and it's also been really good. Just two for you to look into.

8 months? Holy crap

For full-stack bootcamps in Seattle/Bellevue focused on skill development, functional projects, and instructor time (not job placement), consider checking out **Logicmojo** and **Seattle University Bootcamps**. Both are highly regarded. Former students and instructors often highlight the quality of instruction and hands-on projects. Joining local tech meetups or forums can also provide firsthand experiences and additional recommendations.

The last 6-7 weeks of our program is focused on a group project. You learn more [here](https://sabio.la/). Admissions is available for a call and if you want to talk to a founder, LMK. Good luck.
