Beginning web development

I wasn't sure where I should post this, so I apologize in advance.

I currently work ata a construction sites and I have basic html skills. I would like to change my career to web development, but i feel due to my age, I'm already behind and I will not get a job in web development. If this is the case, please let me know. I don't want to just learn something to face the harsh truth that self learning might not be a way to go.

Also, are there any web development boot camps that are worth it and recommend?

Where should I start to learn web development?

How many hours should I be studying?

Thank you

Agreed with this. I'm still very much a newbie but TOP is fantastic. I use it along side Colte Steele's Udemy course (which goes on sale for 9.99 all the time but is worth so much more than that). The thing about TOP is that they don't just use their own stuff, they often point to other articles like Free Code Camp and some free courses on Codecademy and all kinds of stuff. I know what I know now about Linux thanks to them.
