Coding bootcamps are a great way for a novice to learn. There's more to it than programming but full-stack developer, problem-solving are few things to keep in mind.
You would want to build up your skills and have many to one. Online learning is endless and more common than university. Google is going the way of training computer science without the school from Coursera. Where I worked, we had a potential hire with a PHD in computer science but couldn't create code however, we did hire a person who came from a coding bootcamp and was exceptional at coding. When I wanted to learn a new programming language I would do a coding bootcamp.

I completely agree with you, having a more conventional way of learning is not an indication of your programming skills.
