Ask HN: I'm non-technical, is Dev BootCamp a good idea?

2 pointsby tswartzabout 12 years ago
I'm interested in product management, but I don't have a technical background. I came across Dev Bootcamp and I think its a good way to get the technical exposure. Any feedback from someone that is in product management?

1. I know a few people who are in PM roles, some who've been a PM at multiple companies including startups and corporations alike that are non-technical. Being technical certainly helps but there are roles there that exist for non-technical folks as well. (These are in Silicon Valley/SF)<p>2. Base on people I know that have went through DevBootcamp, its certainly a good introduction if you have an interest in programming. But from what I've seen, people who graduate (that I know) while can code, still need quite a bit of help. I guess if the goal is to be a PM where you aren't writing code if that is a requirement, it would be a good fit.

If you go in with the goal of not learning to code, you will be very disappointed. If you go in with an open mind, you'll likely learn a thing or two.
