I thought I picked up CSS easily until I realized it was the worst.

Overall, I want to say I had a good bootcamp experience but I definitely adjusted my expectations a few times. While it was happening, I didn't feel like I had enough 'support' -- there were too many students and too few professors. But in hindsight, having less support forced me to self-teach which I think is the most important skill I got out of the experience. The ability to find, read and interpret documentation has been crucial to becoming a better dev. The bootcamp taught me how to try & fail and ask smarter questions.
