The New York Times has coverage on the phenomenon of Developer Bootcamps, that claim to do in a matter of a couple of months what used to take at least a couple of years for an associate's degree. These cram courses are apparently getting about a 75% job placement rate.
Have any Soylentils either gone through these programs, or worked with others who have? If so, what are your experiences?

If you do not have an internal "model", that is, you do not understand how some thing work or is made, but you are able to "use" it, than that is language.
You formulate a sequence of operations on a set of objects to achieve a goal that is composed by those objects. Yepp, that is language.
The issue here is context: there were some people who had no problem using code that was untyped and nonlinear to make things happen. They did not give a damn how things were typed, what was in the dictionaries and tuples... They did not give a damn in that when you looked at a function, you could not tell, by the declaration, what type of objects it took. They learned to mimic the thought process of the teacher and made things happen. The problem was that they did not have to understand the theory behind it to make it work.
They learned to speak the "language" of the teacher.
