Okay I can speak personally to this.
My new years resolution has been to push out a mobile application. I've been working pretty tirelessly in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time mind you, so it's been hard.
I pushed as hard as I could with tutorials. I would slap tutorials together and pray that everything would compile and the app would have added functionality. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't...
Anyways, I'm not the type of person to sit down and read an entire book on development for a platform. I can, and I have, but it just doesn't bear fruit like I would expect it to.
So, I had to make a project. I did as much as I could, and then I would dig through the books I have [I have way too many] and try to find an answer. Again, sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't.
In the end, I opted to hire a mobile dev consultant. Yeah, he isn't cheap. Yes, I could have maybe, eventually, figured out some questions I have, but I know in the end I would have likely gotten discouraged. Or maybe I would have gone about a task the completely wrong way and wasted my time on something pointless.
I am only about 10% into my current budget for a mobile dev consultant. It's going okay. If I go through my budget, and I still don't have that much to show for it, well at least he's showing me HOW to solve problems. Where to look, what processes to go through, that sort of thing.
I'd look locally and see if you can find a dev to hire for tutoring. Those bootcamps are a bit more money, and they wouldn't be able to give that personal touch. Pick a project you think you could accomplish and poke at it tirelessly.
And if you're married, make sure your SO supports you in this. It won't be easy. Good luck
