Bloomberg examines the bubble-bursting potential that surrounds coding bootcamps, which some officials say once offered access to in-demand computer science jobs at a fraction of the price of a college degree, but are now being frowned upon by premier companies like Google. California-based Coding House was shut down by the state’s Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education last month, amid charges of falsified job placement rates and a multitude of allegations that graduates were unprepared for basic interview questions from computer programming firms.
