Hey thanks for the reply!

I'm leaning more towards Javascript at this point. I'll have to take a closer look at that book you linked later. And yeah...probably need to actually go and learn HTML/CSS, I'll check that out as well.

Who doesn't love free stuff? I'm definitely thinking self-learning at this point; the only benefit I see to a bootcamp is having fixed deadlines :)

HTML and CSS are pretty straightforward, although there is always room to level up on it. I personally don't know that much, the whole "learn as I go" approach has been more than enough for me. That said, I'm not a full blown front end developer, and they probably have different opinions than me.

Also yes, free is best! The deadlines weren't all that useful for me to be honest. I did like having a structured learning environment, but I think the big thing that got me going was that I wanted to be a programmer. Internal motivation is always a key driver, and I think if you have that you'll easily find the resources you need. :)
