As I've mentioned elsewhere I want to learn how to program, and I've already started learning Python. Recently, I read an article that mentions how getting a job writing code will greatly speed up the process. My question is: where do I find this job??
I've done a basic search, and everywhere I've looked thus far assumes you already have programming skills.
At first, I thought about just applying for those jobs anyway, but I didn't because it feels dishonest and I'm not entirely sure I can develop the skills quick enough to perform the jobs. Another idea I had was to simply do the jobs listed as practice, but the jobs posted don't give much details until after they hire you.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a programming job with next to no skills, but a passion and willingness to work long and hard to develop the skills along the way?
