Warning about that coding bootcamp meetup at WeWork in downtown Austin

I went to a free 'intro to Python' session last night and the instructor spent 20 minutes selling us on a $2,000 course before we even opened a single code editor, so has anyone else run into these sales-heavy events disguised as beginner workshops?

The one I went to had the guy click through a PowerPoint for 30 minutes before we even saw a terminal. If they don't mention the full price upfront in the event description, it's a sales pitch not a workshop.

I heard a podcast say workshops should be hands-on within the first 10 minutes or it's just a lecture.
