Totally possible! I went from zero to being employed as a web developer in about 6 months (no bootcamp). Over those six months, all I did was code.
Wake up - read about code.
At work - find good excuses to do my job with code.
Come home from work - code.
After dinner - code.
Before bed - code.
And so on. I also got lucky because I found a couple engineers at my company who were willing to mentor my early projects. What kept me going was finding projects I thought were interesting and challenging and learning everything I could to solve them.
As a lot of commenters have said, we're all learning all the time. The learning never ends! There's never a better time to start than now!
