Originally went to school for painting and printmaking, played in bands, and have now been designing and developing since 2010. I write the curriculum and teach at Perpetual Education.
Your Computer Science degrees (which seem to really only have 3 months of web developement in the fourth year)
A User Experience / new media style art college that is likely less technical
An in person 3-month boot camp
An only boot camp
An only Udemy or other type of series/class that has "boot camp" in the title.
Are any of those a "software dev degree?"
Seems like the boot camps / when they aren't terrible - and even possibly accredited - are sorta a degree. But - really, I don't think one exists. And - I'm not just saying that to be pedantic. I've spent 10 years thinking about it / and the last 2 years developing what may soon be an accredited "Web design/web developement degree."
I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on this. And how it feels from a seeming Python focus.

I don't think this is pedantic at all. Honestly, this is a great question. I think bootcamps have a lot of potential and I hate that so many of them fall short because their goals are in the money and not the people.
This software dev degree happens to be more Java-based. Much to my dismay, the first course is the only one with Python. Of the 8 classes, I think 6 of them require programming and actual application of code. This one is definitely not a basic CS degree. Though, it's also not a web dev degree either.
Honestly, I'd love to see some web dev degrees. I don't see why that couldn't be a thing. As long as it include accessibility, ui, ux, and the core concepts that seem to be missing from other learning material.

I like this question.
What is a "software dev degree" though?
If you have:
