Suggestion: If you have the self disciple to stick to a decision after the excitement of the moment is gone, buy some books and learn whatever language(s) you are going to use by plowing through those books yourself. It will be a lot cheaper than a bootcamp, and no one is going to hire you because you went to Bootcamp X. They will ask to see a portfolio of what you have coded. Classes are only needed if you don't have the discipline to do the work on your own.

Disclaimer: I can't code for shit in anything other than C (C++ get out reeeeeeee). After getting through 2 thick books on C (about 30 bucks used) I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to do this everyday for the rest of my life. That cost roughly $4,970 less than an equivalent bootcamp. I did run to the library a couple times dicking around with books on some other languages, so add another 10 bucks in wasted gas.
