It would be hard to land a dev job if you have nothing to suggest you can be productive on day one.

I'll suggest you start looking at other IT jobs where training is available. Tech support type jobs are a great way to break into the industry while getting your dev skills to a marketable level.

A 2-3 months goal is not a healthy way to approach it; you wouldn't ask "what can I do to be a competent doctor or lawyer in the next 2-3 months", the same goes for any profession. Software development isn't a magic bag of tricks, it is a skill set that you build up over time.
