Code, code, and then code some more.

I've read quite a few similar posts over the last few months and that has been the answer almost every time. Can't say I disagree.

Going back to school will take years, cost you some good chunk of change, and when you're finished you'll likely look back and realize all the programming you learned was in your spare time anyway, not due to class.

Pick a language/framework, a project, and start learning.
