But many people will learn better and faster with in-person instruction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to&nbsp;go beyond learning basic html for making the occasional update to your website and learn the kind of skills that lead to a job in tech, a bootcamp can likely get you there faster than trying to learn on your own or with one-off online courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out&nbsp;what kind of options exist in your area, look to Google. Try typing the name of your city, plus 'coding boot camp'\u009d into search, and look into your options. To get a feel for the quality of the bootcamps available, look for:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Student testimonials&nbsp;<\/li><li>Partnerships with local tech companies (that means more job opportunities)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Job placement rates for graduates&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Good bootcamps aren\u2019t cheap, and they require a sizable time investment for a temporary period, so this option only makes sense if you want to pursue a career in tech. But if you want to learn a lot relatively quickly, they\u2019re a good way to do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-option-4-look-into-a-computer-science-degree-program\">Option 4: Look into a Computer Science Degree Program&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to go even further in your learning than a bootcamp allows, you may want to consider a computer&nbsp;science degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this isn\u2019t a choice to make lightly. Any degree program you take on will take years and thousands of dollars to complete, and computer science is no exception. This path makes the most sense if you know&nbsp;<strong>for sure<\/strong>&nbsp;you want to pursue a career in tech, and you\u2019ve confirmed that the jobs that look the most attractive to you require degrees.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re at the very beginning stages of learning to code, jump back up to the free and low-cost resources on our list and try out some of those first to make sure this is something you want to pursue seriously. Going to college for computer science is overkill if your only goal is to learn to code, but for certain tech career paths it\u2019s a reasonable option.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ready-to-start-learning-to-code\">Ready to Start Learning to Code?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You could probably get by as a website owner without learning to code, but devoting a few hours to learning the basics will absolutely make your life easier and make tasks accessible to you that would otherwise feel out of reach.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you like what you learn, tech jobs are lucrative.
