I don't think you need a bootcamp. Foundational DS concepts can be self-tough given the right resources (such as Manning's "Data Science Bookcamp" https://www.manning.com/books/data-science-bookcamp)
on “Ask HN: What are the best data science bootcamps?” ↗Manning has an early access book in the works, "Data Science Bookcamp: 10 Python Projects" "...you'll test and build your knowledge of Python and learn to handle the kind of open-ended problems that professional data scientists work on daily." https://www.manning.com/books/data-science-bookcamp

on “Ask HN: What are some books where the reader learns by building projects?” ↗The following data science book also does a great job of balancing problem solving with underlying theory. https://www.manning.com/books/data-science-bookcamp And it starts with sample-space probability problems in Python, much…

on “Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?” ↗…depends? 1. Programming Philosophy? - The Unix Philosophy - 97 Things every programmer should know 2. CS Fundamentals - The Elements of Computing Systems by Simon - Algorithms by Jeff Erickson 3. Data Science - Programming Collective Intelligence by Toby Segaran - Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow & Yoshua Bengio
on “Ask HN: Books about Programming Concepts?” ↗If you look at the other book this guy had published, it sounds like he has the same issues there: http://www.amazon.com/Data-Science-Analyticbridge-Vincent-Gr... Sadly communicating one's findings as a data scientist is one of the most overlooked skills.
