Advice to become a Software Engineer

Hello everyone! I hope you're all starting 2026 strong!

Sorry if this is a repetitive post but I am looking for advice and guidance about resources to become a Software Engineer. For the last three years, I have been working as a Salesforce Developer, but almost a month ago I was laid off and obviously went back to job hunting mainly applying for Salesforce Dev roles, but I this jobs are very "limited" or selective so I have been thinking on focus my career mostly as a Software Engineer since I have been interested as well in this kind of roles (I found coding very fun and stressful lol).

I am self-taught in the coding world so it has been kinda challening too. But since right now I want to pivot my career more as a Software Engineer, I was wondering if somebody has any advice or recommendations for a good course or bootcamp. I am currently learning Python and MCPs (slowly, but we keep going).

Thank you so much in advance and apologies if my typing is weird, English is my second language 😬
