Why do you think you need a bootcamp? I typically recommend people in your position figure it out by using chatgpt and google as you’re already doing. Instead of just copying and pasting the code though, try to understand what it does and ask chatgpt follow up questions until it’s clear
An X-week bootcamp won’t make you a good software engineer anyway. You need significant time and reps to get better much like any other skill, and I think you’ll get to your goal faster by “learning on the job” vs. sitting in a class and trying to absorb material
Noted! I thought perhaps a bootcamp (et al) might give me a jumping off point. But I see your point. I have learned my entire career that way - scrappy. Maybe thats what I will do. Build iteratively:
Right - I think your jumping off point is a prompt to chatgpt with “build me an example MVP app in swift that does X and explain each line of code as if I’m a beginner”

I like that!
Actually my first will be "Whats the app called where you can make a Mac app?" 😂
