@misc I am an experienced programmer. I watched my wife learn to program and answered her occasional questions. Time And again, I would hear her suddenly say “that’s it!?”
I have been doing this for nearly 30 years and mentored many people. I swear to you there is no magic. It is a collection of simple patterns combined an interesting ways.
I would say that there is a degree of specialization in “genre” of coding: web development, mobile development, embedded device dev, etc.
@misc all of that is to say that it will take far less time than you think.
If, for example, you are thinking about mobile development, you should easily be able to make “functional” apps in less than new year. How much less depends on how much time you have to devote to practice.
There is a bit of a gap between it technically does what I want, and it looks, feels, and behaves the way I want while doing that.
@misc admittedly, that last bit involves a lot of yelling at your computer. THings like "what the !#$&*| Do you want from me?!" as a result of framework features that were released half-baked, or with crap / no documentation, or seem to have a glaringly obvious missing feature that really, really should have been included.
