Agree with EY1. Depends what your goal is/how you intend to use it.

If you’re looking to transition career wise, you can go the bootcamp route or a masters. Different pros and cons to both.

Web Development

Depends. What do you want to accomplish, what type of role do you want to be in, and what do you want your day to day to be like?

Meh, I completely switched to a full software engineering role after studying for like 4 months. I don’t think it’s as deep as people say.

Disclaimer: I did study like 70-80 hours a week for those 4 months
