I'm strongly considering taking a code bootcamp (3 month intensive school to learn how to develop web pages).
It would mean quitting the job I have now.
So please pray for me as I consider this.
I've been trying to self-study for most of a year, but I don't have the discipline
to teach it to myself and really need a school.

private drawings such as sketches, portraits and various handmade drawings. Due to the fact that it is not possible to hide folders, I decided to use this form of collecting my works

2022: Art goals
I really am working on art (so far). I am doing some online courses and hope to see Actual Improvement (tm). Hello!
I changed my avatar
15 years on dA and I changed my avatar.
Just... because?
Also hi, this is a photo. 👋
For now.
Don’t worry, I won’t change my username.
I like being able to find myself.
Happy 2020!
Ok so last year I REALLY intended to draw more, but I didn't end up drawing nearly as much. Actually I did a lot of "doodling on post-it notes" but hardly ever finishing it into a format I can post. And I'm embarrassed. Not that I did nothing last year - I got a new job, and a ton of other things happened. God is good even in difficult situations. But I'm EXCITED to see where the Lord leads in 2020. And I really am planning on drawing more. And losing more weight. All the usual resolutions, yay! How are you doing?
Added some scraps at least. Also: Science.
Can I say: I am sort of obsessed with a character in Overwatch named Sigma.
Trying to decide if I want to try to play the game (since his character is not an easy one to jump in with).
I mean... I wouldn't want to play with me since I don't know what I'm doing.
Anyway he may be a character in a videogame but he is a mad scientist who manipulates gravity and is obsessed with black holes,
and he has reminded me of my actual love for science, so I'm reading a lot of books about gravity, and black holes,
and in order to understand them I had to get a book out on calculus.
And now that I remember how much I like science, well, for a year I t

What you need...is advice.
I think you should pick up one of those Raspberry Pi 2 ultimate starter kits and take a crack at that in your spare time. It might be a better starting point, since you can start out with Python, pick up some basic electronics experience, control hardware using the output header, and then move to a dialect of C or Java (or ARM assembly language) as you see fit. The fancier starter kits run about $90, but they have everything but the mouse and keyboard and typically come with nice documentation (unless you go with Canakit, but you can just get another book.)
It might be more interesting than a few months of coding grunt-work, and allows you to figure out how much you like programming. To really do well at it, you need to have a passion for throwing programming languages around. If all else fails, you can recycle the Pi as a bare-bones computer or as a media center for the TV.
EDIT: On the other hand, since you've been struggling a lot with self-study, I feel like programming boot camp will just be an onerous chore. You'll probably detest programming after fighting with it for a few months...
