  1. The bootcamps that get the media publicity focus on intro to programming to "full stack" developer path, which, depending on your CS curriculum, should be what you get anyways - with added diversions into heavier CS stuff. Most college programs I know of do stuff like Operating Systems, Algorithm Analysis, Systems Programming (C/Bash/C++), Programming Languages (normally several small assignments done in several languages - i.e.: 'Implement quicksort in Ruby, C and Java') and Theory of Computation (my personal favorite) in addition to your 'Intro to Programming/Software Development' courses which is normally 2 semesters of basically learning a language (and the abstract concepts that apply to all languages) and then a Data Structures course.

  2. Anyone in the industry that has knowledge of hiring processes will tell you that a GitHub with many side projects and neat things you've done for either side money or personal growth is more important than a 4.0 GPA.

    I did Java as my language in my undergrad (for the intro courses) and for higher level courses I did a mix of Objective-C, C, Ruby, Haskell, Clojure - whatever really seemed interesting or suited to solving the problem.

    The only way you come to better understand a language and it's nuances, in my opinion, is to use it and use it a lot. Finding out the power of a language (and all common languages do have power -albeit different from each other) is awesome. The more you use it, you'll find what you hate.

    I also read a bunch of side material - Extreme Programming Explained, Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch, and the ever popular Learn You a Haskell For Great Good! are some of the things I played with.

    If your curriculum doesn't require but offers a Capstone course, I would highly recommend it. Making a full product from start to finish is an amazing experience and it looks great on a resume.

The Extreme Programming book itself isn't bad (I read the first edition).

Related, though not specifically about agile, is Peopleware. This addresses the "individuals and interactions" part of the manifesto. It's more directly written for managers, but I think it's a great read for anybody.
