RefactorU
RefactorU is a selective, 10-week, hands-on, immersive web application development bootcamp in Boulder, CO. Students will create applications and build a portfolio of projects to share with employers while developing a peer and advisor network for life. RefactorU collaborates with students to find jobs they love. Before, during, and after students' 10-week experience, RefactorU's career team works very hard to introduce students to hiring managers in the Denver/Boulder area as well as in other technology hotspots across the country.
RefactorU's curriculum is composed of a combination of front end, back end, and other technologies, tools, and skills. Graduates of the program will leave having mastered HTML5, CSS3, AngularJS, Node.js, JS, Sockets, MongoDB, JSON, command line skills, source control, deployment, pair progamming, Agile/Scrum, behavior-driven development, Sublime Text, interviewing, and more.
As of February 2016, RefactorU now offers Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefits.

RefactorU is an amazing resource if you know that what you want to do is web development. It is expensive, but if you dedicate yourself wholly to the experience and ask for help when you need it, you will absolutely get your money worth in education. The instructors are patient and kind, and the staff are helpful. Great place to learn!

Best Bootcamp Ever - Great City Too
RefactorU has changed my life. I've wanted to get into development for quite some time now and took the CS courses like data structures, JAVA, C++, etc. I tried to break into the field by taking them after I got a physics degree. It just wasn't enough. RefactorU changed all that.

I left my home in SF to go to Boulder and had no idea what would happen. I quickly was immersed in JavaScript, Angular, MongoDB, and Node. I found that the instructors were so good and so clear that I quickly picked up everything they taught. My only regret was not doing all the bonus assignments for the week (some assignments aren't mandatory - they are bonuses).
Not only that, but the people there started to change my life. I made what I can honestly say are life long friends. A bunch of cried when RefactorU came to an end. I can't believe it had to come to an end. Learning tech surrounded by awesome, talented people was amazing.
Now on to the good part - I got a job. I am seriously so happy. The job was what I envisioned getting - a cool job in a cool startup surrounded by extremely smart people. Sean, Vally, Sharone, and Ed were a pleasure to know and converse with and the instructors, Rob and Raphael were the smartest guys I've met in a long time.
I don't just recommend this bootcamp to learn how to code - I recommend it to change your life - both socially and financially.
