Yesterday I came across an article that mentioned this 12 year old girl that taught herself dubstep only by watching YouTube videos and practicing:

This to say that there's a value in controlling the pace of one's education and the ability to re-read or re-watch or re-listen content.

Coding bootcamps are definitely a valid option but maybe not worth it if you can't afford them.

There's so much free or cheap content online that you can at least give it a try and maybe think about a coding bootcamp in case self learning is not your thing too much.

Something halfway might be a Udacity nano degree, which according to Google search is around 2000$, not cheap but less expensive than a bootcamp: eu.udacity.com/nanodegree
