The only difficult part is getting your environment set up correctly; once you move past that portion it is really pretty simple. I recommend JavaScript for getting started simply because it has the simplest environment to set up.

A good code bootcamp will teach you front-end as well as back-end, and will ideally dive deep enough into a couple of platforms that you will be able to build full-fledged applications.

That's a death sentence when it comes to looking for a job.
