Coding or Software BOOT CAMPS?

[bjcheung77]

@acamp, you've got the degree, you're just missing the certs/experience and the 10 month time frame you're giving yourself wouldn't really give you all that experience.  You're trying to get so much done in so little time, especially for teachers as they have "extra" work to do outside the classroom preparing for the next day or week of classes, you may have some extra commitments at home as well...  My recommendation remains a "mix/match" approach as I mentioned earlier, you'll need to do a combo of a few things with the time you have and extend that time for an extra year or more...

Current scenario/situation I can see after 10 months from now at the interview:  You have no certs or real work experience but did a 10 month "training camp for coding?".  Great, we'll see if there are spots available for your expertise.... <Skip, Next applicant please>  

I want to change it to a different scenario, where you have some entry level certs and experience going through some (doesn't have to be all the certs or code camps I provided earlier).  You now have X certs, 20 months of experience going through several of the code camps online and know the "basics".  Give yourself more time to learn the basics as I mentioned and to build a portfolio.  Here's how I would play things starting today...

There are 4 code camps I mentioned above, you have 24 months. I would do a code camp for 6 months, go to the next, 6 months until you have all 24 months completed.  Take your time and slowly learn those 4 major programming languages and in regards to the certs, these can be done on your "breaks", spring, winter, summer breaks.  Each cert should take an average of a few months, but after you've got the knowledge, you can blow past them free - 1 a week or two.
