Udemy.com 是一个商业的网站,上面课程质量参差不齐,不过都是些实用课程,比如java,python,手机软件开发什么的。现在有免费的java入门课程,可以学习。
Java for Complete Beginners。另外,有的同学曾经学过上面的免费的Python课程,觉得不错。
Udemy.com 的特点是,课程并非专业的教师,更像是公司里的技术人员介绍经验,内容和演示都比较随意。但可以了解很多实际编程中的小技巧,比如一些快捷键、一些简写习惯等。
edX.org

其实传统意义上的大学,我觉得最重要的就是能拿个毕业证书。另外,能得到教授的亲自答疑啥的。还有就是和大学同学在一起,能够social一下,这样不枉大学时光。
有很多美国人(特别是做business的美国人)认为,未来上大学的这种模式会被online education的新潮流颠覆。特别是将来高昂的学费,比如说一年7万美金的学杂费,可能促使一些比较前卫的年轻人放弃上传统的大学,而是选择网上online自学。
1. 要看alumni statistics, 主要就是job placement rate。因为学习是为了找工作的,如果这个bootcamp培训过的很多学员都找到了工作,这才是好的bootcamp。
2. 根据你的兴趣来挑选。有的bootcamp擅长教ios, andriod app development, 有的bootcamp擅长教full stack web development, 比如node.js, ruby on rails等。
