Everyone is hiring right now, there is a shortage of good devs, and many companies don't care if you have a degree or not. Pick a language and/or framework and start working on a portfolio. You will get better each time you build something new.

I don't know about other communities, but Ruby/Rails is particularly hot right now.

Also, some companies hire junior devs who specifically haven't had a job coding before.

Just get at it and start building stuff. You'll learn faster than you might imagine.
