Boot camps are good for getting your fingers wet and learning. But what will get you going a new career of software development is the ability to demonstrate that you have a solid understanding of coding. That’s where you will have to learn it and develop something solid.
Degree will help a lot as well if you don’t have an Software development background.
There are other parts of IT industry that isn’t too difficult to get into such as Network administration. There are a ton of certs that that will open the door.
