At one end of the spectrum, there are programs that accumulate a wealth of content for you to learn on your own with videos and interactive web apps:
Free:
These have monthly (or course) fees but have very helpful [and interactive] videos:
There are also quite a few CS courses all hosted online!
Now at the OTHER end of the spectrum you have "bootcamps" which are considerably more expensive (8-15k) but provide extensive support. Depending on which you choose [get accepted to], you'll be coding 40-80 hours a week.
So for those of you who aren't able to commit the time (or money) for these bootcamps, there do exist some online programs (more at
http://bootcamper.io).
That was me just 3 months ago. I was looking for a way to learn how to become a web developer [eventually full-stack] and needed a course that fit my needs. I tried to use the free resources referenced in the beginning of this post but realized I needed a project based curriculum to actually apply the new skills. I also became quite frustrated when I would get "stuck."
After doing extensive research, I chose Thinkful (http://thinkful.com). Many of the students have full-time/part-time jobs or are current college students (they recommend ~10 hours a week for Front-End and ~15 for Python). They also had the structured path and most importantly a personal mentor to do live code reviews (via screenshare on Google Hangout). Two months into the course, I applied for a marketing/front-end internship for the school and was accepted full-time :) Here's a post from my first day!! Thinkful: Has anyone "attended" Thinkful and what was their experience?
Bit more info: Flexibility is the biggest strength of our program. The mentors [and students] are all over the world, so we'll be able to accommodate any requests. Whether you're a complete beginner (like I was) or have significant experience, you'd gain significant value from the curriculum. Since the payment is for monthly access to the whole program, you'd able to work on the parts of the curriculum that you need. At the recommended pace, our students finish in 3 months but some may finish in 2 or take another month! If you finish the course, you'll get permanent access to the curriculum :) The final product of either course is pretty awesome (a Final Portfolio of the projects you've been working on for Front-End or an MVP for Python).
Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to view some sample projects or have ANY questions about either course :)
