Coding boot camps

Everybody forgive me sounding like an idiot. I’m brand new to IT. I’ve taken classes like: IT concepts, networking infrastructure, website development, and I’m currently taking software development concepts and feel like I’ve retained about 35% of the content. I’m wanting to actually start working in software development, are coding boot camps valued at all by employers? If not, what the hell can I do to get hire by someone? Certifications?
