Question about programming #535

Open ava12300 opened 7 years ago

How long time will it take to learn a programming language? I will attend a school next year where I will be learning programming language, is it hard? Does it take long time to learn?

In short, it depends, mostly on how much effort is put into it by, both, the teacher and student.

It took me at least a full school year (maybe more) to learn java enough to do anything with it. But now (~5 years later), I learned ruby on rails in a month. And, in that time, I actually learned enough to do something with it.

The first contact I had with programming was with C. I've had C classes for 4 months but in the end of the first week I was already playing with it. Its not hard if you enjoy it. The hard part is to remember all the functions and writing peculiarities of each language. Everytime I shift from Processing Java to p5 or python I basically have to look at my old codes to remember all the sintaxes for half an hour before I am good to go.

I suggest closing this issue now that it has been addressed.
