After a year trying to teach myself on the side, I enrolled in Fullstack Academy (coincidentally, a YC company) because it was quite difficult to figure how to progress on my own -- not because individual topics were difficult, but because I found it difficult to figure out where to proceed next.

The curriculum was well structured, flowed logically, and emphasized best practices that employers would look for during interviews. More importantly, you have access to the instructors, who do a great job helping you work through any questions you might have. Worth every penny.
