Interesting study about who goes to these camps. I’ve thought about it, although I don’t have $10K sitting in my pocket itching to be spent. I sometimes wonder if understanding coding is the key to the "better" jobs in tech comm. API writing definitely requires it, and that seems to be a hot field right now. I know HTML on an intermediate level and CSS on a basic level, and that’s gotten me through fairly well so far. But I’ve often questioned whether learning Javascript or Jquery, Objective C, or Ruby on Rails is something that I need to learn. Half the time, I swear that job I see are for programmers who can write more than writers who can program, if you know what I mean.
I always advocate for constantly learning to better your chances for opportunity (and nothing wrong with enhancing your brain). Not sure if this is the way to go for everyone.
