## AI overview

The article explains why Codename One ran a bootcamp and why the author did not plan to run another. The goals included developing a highly skilled team, improving app UI and UX, learning how to better serve developers, producing videos more efficiently, and replacing outdated course materials.

## Source excerpt

I was chatting with one of the bootcamp attendants on the one on one calls and he asked me a question that I didn't think you'd care about but I'm guessing it would be interesting: "Why are you doing the bootcamp?". I was so focused on explaining the benefit to you that I neglected to explain what Codename One will gain from this bootcamp. This is probably something I should have explained before we closed registration as it would have explained why I have no intention of doing another bootcamp ever again. Bootcamps are hard work, they don't scale & I need to take a lot of time off to get it done.
