Is this bootcamp bundle worth it for someone interested in learning this stuff? Supposedly it is valued at around $1000 but you can get it here for $3 if you want.

I dunno... programming seems to rely too much on the softskills of dynamic problem solving, utilization of existing and creation of new tools, and streamlining and optimization of what you have available to you.

Understanding the syntax can help you, but you can really just pull open any script on the repo, go through the code, and have SOME idea of what you're talking about.

However, a course for $3 may be worth it to help with the syntax understanding.

Everything I learned about programming I learned on my own through trial & error, research, and lots and lots of failed coding attempts. Coursing can teach you programming concepts and best practices but it's not something you can't learn yourself on the internet. You're probably less likely getting terrible advice from a course, though.

Reviews of Stacksocial are overwhelmingling bad. As in they don't deliver, what they deliver is garbage, they overcharge your credit card.

If you don't know the company you're dealing with Google "Company Name Scam." When a company maintains that 10% of the prices go to a charity, I always get a little suspicious. It's an easy way to try to create a link with a legitimate organization and try to ride their "legitimacy coattails."
