If you have a degree already, I would try the developer boot camp route. It's going to be cheaper, quicker, and get you into the real world of programming a lot faster.

If you decide you have a lot of potential and want to work at Google or Microsoft, you should then go back to school and get a degree in CS, but I think for the vast majority of developers, what you learn in school doesn't have a ton to do with what you are doing on the job on a day-to-day basis.

This is doubly true if your degree is in something non-fluff. If you have no degree at all, you need to get a degree because so many companies require one before they will even let you in the door these days.
