Computer science is hard as shit. Programming to the level most of the programmers at B4 get to isn’t remarkably hard, just takes time. Teaching yourself or a boot camp and certs is certainly possible but will be challenging. There are success stories and there are tons of folks who didn’t make it.
To get your feet wet you could do something like code academy, or similar, and see if what you’re doing actually interests you. Programming is generally far from glamorous.
If you still like it and you’re serious do some research and get into a good boot camp. Don’t look at it as just completing it - you’ll have to actually be able to apply what you learned. Dive in with both feet.
It takes time and the tutorials online only get you so far. In my option the tutorials mostly teach basic syntax and data structures for a given language. You can practice sample problems to build algorithms to teach the language, but applying the language on a project is half the battle. You need to build a sample project to understand what goes into an app - connecting a DB, APIs, core logic, front end, figuring out what to google so stack overflow gives you the answer, debugging, pointing the damn JDK to the right location ... development is more understanding the technical hurdles in a project than actually coding and only experience can provide this
Go for it.
