Graduates of computer coding schools will more than double this year, a signal of heightened interest in high-paid technology jobs.

More than 16,000 students will graduate from programming boot camps, up from 6,740 in 2014, according to data from Course Report, a website that allows students to rate the schools. The intensive training programs teach students how to create websites and mobile apps in two to six months and cost as much as $21,000.
