It should be noted that many employers do hire the somebody who learned to code at App Academy but never went to college over the other person.
(After all, the somebody can signal agentiness about becoming a better programmer, unlike the person. And the somebody is actually more likely to be a good employee than the person.)
(I'm not sure if you were implying the opposite of this or not (it is ambiguous))
Agreed. I just graduated from a different coding bootcamp (Fullstack Academy) and know that the good bootcamps have job placement rates in the mid-high 90s.
How do I tell the difference between a good bootcamp and a bad one?
In this context I was using good to mean selective and prestigious. I'm not really sure where you'd find this information. My understanding is that App Academy, Hack Reactor, Fullstack and Dev Bootcamp are (part of) the top tier.
As for how much you learn, that's a whole different question.
