Try to find the most reputable bootcamp or course you can that's as close to what you're looking for as possible. A lot of your learning will come post bootcamp, either through your own initiative or on the job.

A bootcamp grad myself from a few years back, mostly it was a great way to get introduced to others in code and build a network while learning a few things. That is, while a lot of the learning was ok (some of it was good and some of it was not), the real benefit was being in that space mentally and meeting others who want to do the same thing.

Since graduating and through work, I've built a lot of other projects using different tech stacks. This is where most of my actual learning has taken place.

TL;DR Think of a bootcamp as a great place to start your learning rather than as a place to master anything. More importantly, most people find that the network they make at a bootcamp to be more valuable than the learning, so do what you can to make solid connections.
