Hello,
I didn't read through the whole thread but I just want to tell everyone who is thinking about starting to code. DO IT.
Let me explain why.
I read TMF and Unscripted a while ago but I was still working a horrible office job without any perspective.
Fortunately as I am from germany I was able to find a so called "training" as software developer so I don't earn much each month but they will teach me everything. The focus of my company is web development which is exactly what I was searching for.
So.. what can I tell you that provides value from the experiences of the last 8 Months learning code:
- it can be a lot of fun because you are able to create things out of nothing and it is a skill that will be even more important in the future. In my office job I wasn't learning much.
- start now, no matter how old you are
- practice, practice, practice. I read a lot of books additionaly when I was taking the bus etc. but you will learn the most by actually coding
- be patient. You will feel like an idiot at start. You will think it is not for you. Keep pushing through it. EVERYONE can learn it.
- find a mentor. I know I am really lucky having my coworkers which are also really like friends for me. This point is invaluable!!!!! Without a mentor you will have a much harder time. I would even pay for it.
Best regards
Marcel
