I run a site (http://petihacks.com) with many of these little tricks if it's the interest of anyone
Amazeballs!
drop me a line if I can help somehow javier@petithacks.com
I'm in a similar situation with http://petithacks.com Launched it last september while learning Rails, and got some traffic peaks that bring among 2-3k users/month (but only 100 active - liking, saving stuff).
Best ways of learning have been: 1.the study groups done almost twice per month during 3 months after that RailsGirls event, 2. Learn how to get answers in StackOverflow, 3. Ask around to devs in the internet and even my colleagues (I do marketing in a software company).
I don't know how good are these bootcamps, and I'm not sure if all the comments here included are real or just bootcamps trying to defend their business. I'm pretty sure there are good teachers out there, but dont know necessarily if they are in bootcamps. Seeing that many of these bootcamps either they implied to commit full-time, either they were USA-based, either their curriculums were super-easy, I tried to look for specific help in places like Codementor (https://www.codementor.io/r/5HXQM64N3R referral link!), much flexible and I don't feel 'scammed' paying for really basic stuff that you can learn with time + internet.
In http://petithacks.com/posts/how-i-learned-to-build-a-rails-a... I gave more explanations about my learning.
Nothing spectacular, I know. I started to get some traffic (28K visits so far) 1 month ago after being featured in ProductHunt, SmashingMagazine, SitePoint, etc.
Still trying to figure it out what I could do with the 1,4k signups I have.
AMAnything if you feel like! Willing to help or solve some doubts.
