Coding Boot Camps Los Angeles??

Question regarding boot camps. I recently parted ways with firm (fully FINRA licensed, 8+ years equity salestrading experience) and looking to continue educating myself in Los Angeles, Ca. More specifically, I’m looking into programing boot camps in the area. As I am sure we are all aware, there are a wide variety of bootcamps out there. Always a controversial topic. Is it better to go through a program through a local university (UCLA, USC)?? Are some private education platforms more reputable than others?? Is there a specific boot camp you would suggest given my trading history?? Preferably a program that lends itself to the finance industry?? Need-to-know languages? Any comments welcomed...Thanks in advance
