This is one of the things that can be very harsh with bootcamp and that makes a clear difference to someone who studied CS.

Bootcamps usually just focus on the language that your learning so Javascript the focus would be on node, react etc. But anything related to computing and general knowledge is not taught.

I have interviewed junior devs who came from bootcamps and asking question such as what happens when you type a url in browser (dns lookup, request reponse principal, transport layer etc)
