A quick summary: 1) Being focus (spend a whole afternoon on coding) 2) Continue learning (otherwise your coding knowdge will be outdated) 3) Self-teaching. (You don't need to read lots of textbooks teaching the same topic because they contain overlapped knowledge. Just focus on one textbook and dive into it) 4) Having a goal (learning from creating a project like web application or mobile app) In general, you need to develope the culture of programmer and that is --- sitting down and spendning hours on coding.

I think your advice on the subject is useful. I trained as a doctor and started getting fed up with the software we use for work that I started getting fed up with practising medicine. I decided to investigate how to solve the problem digitally and realised that I actually enjoy computer science and the possibilities of solving a lot of problems I have encountered at work with well thought out codes. I also just realised that I enjoy mathematics which I did not enjoy in high school. I do enjoy socialising but can spend a week alone working on how to design a system that would make hospital work less tedious for myself and other health professionals. Unfortunately these periods alone with the computer often involve pacing and talking to myself! Thanks again for your insight.

"The Zone" concept is true esp. when you become stuck into something and there's no other choice but to take a pause, gather your thoughts until there's a light bulb moment on what has supposed to do.

jshowa o Sure however did your profesor go on to show the syntax of long algorithms? How about machine learning? Hyperbolizing means he was exaggerating, what he means is real complex stuff was never taught code wise, more concept wise, things like memory allocation and stuff have very different syntax depending on language, sure at the start of the course he may have taught SOME syntax. However I would be very surprised if your proffesor taught you advanced concepts that seem very different between languages

There's always more to master whether that's the newest developments computer science, the cutting edge medical knowledge or legal details for your clients.

I moved a lot when young, got into coding around age 10 through late 20's and would spend near every day for years building software for myself 10-15 hours a day. It felt GREAT to have breakthroughs by relaxing and totally focusing on solutions to the coding problems from multiple angles. Unfortunately some HD crashes and backup failings wiped several years and 10k hours of work, as well as working at a factory that was 7 days in a row only 48 hours off, rotating shifts. After 30 nightmare years at that factory and now early 50's, I have the time to get back into it. I still don't like going out or really spending time around people, I'd like to either develop tools to allow me to make enough reselling online to work from home that way, or maybe create some things that I could charge a small number of people a monthly subscription to also make income or maybe building websites freelance type work. I can't really see going and working for some tech company and on some team. I want to get back into writing code and learning new languages for my own pleasure and use. If I could make enough without working for anybody, I'd rather do that. I just need enough income to free time up and remove financial concerns to be able to get back into learning and creating, rather than having to rot away trying to make money and no time to enjoy life or do anything I want to learn, build or do.

I have worked with a number of older developers who were very good at their jobs. Not only did they keep up with the latest tech, but they were familiar with a lot of older technologies which can be very useful if you are inheriting older systems/code. The only time I've really ran into trouble is with some architects because they had been away from ground zero so long that their designs made little sense with modern technologies. Even worse, they would insist their designs made sense and were the best way to do things. To me the key is incorporate some type of coding test into your interview process using the technologies that are relevant to your workplace. Any questions about a candidates ability to use those technologies will then be cleared up.

The way I did it was, I bought a book about coding one language (a physical book, not pdf or so). I settled it in my mind that I will consume this book page by page until I reach the end. Also, I made sure not to go the next page until I understood the current page 100%. When I reached the end of the book, I was REALLY comfortable with this programming language. Additionally, it gave me the necessary basic understanding of programming which allowed me to learn from internet tutoriais and pdfs actually effectively. I didn’t need to fully read another full book to learn a different language from then on. Just that initial book propelled me to a state where I was perfectly comfortable with programming itself so from then on I could learn from little bits here and there and be able to connect the dots. Literally got myself a programming job when I finished the book.

I got into the CFA program (and passed level I) in an attempt to give myself a chance in a certain industry but the sad truth is that in some industries it just isn't enough to even put one foot on the door if you don't have a 4 GPA and proper networking. So I think for smart people with a natural curiosity for things, learning code is probably one of the best ways to satisfy that curiosity and also create something useful that generates a revenue stream, aside from our daily job, whatever that may be.

My plan is to end up knowing html + Javascript and maybe CSS too as a way to develop web apps from the front-end up to the back-end, with a friend of mine who currently works as a big data engineer at a bulgue bracket.

Coding is one of those weird professions where 90% of the professionals got into it by themselves because of some weird intrinsic motivation to take step after step after step to feed a hunger for information and curiousity. Then it becomes a major value in the market and hundreds of thousands of people throw themselves into "LEARN PYTHON IN 3 DAYS AND BECOME AN ENGINEER OVERNIGHT" schemes because there is significant money to be made in the field (political figures calling programmers the 21st century rockstars). But it's so cool to see that the majority of these gold seekers fail miserably because programming and coding have an immense learning curve that you can't bluf (your code either runs/compiles or it doesn't) and I am really happy about that.

There is an intrinsic barrier of entry to programming, the main ones I see are: 1) Having to sit in front of PC for long time, a lot of people like to move around and some people just don't have the attention span for it. 2) A lot of people don't enjoy programming, so they don't make it to the big stage doing it. 3) If it means going for a CS/CE degree, a lot of people will quit or switch out to other fields because the math and physics required is tough and some people either don't like either or the math required for the degrees. I loved everything about my degree program, designing interfaces, and building applications. I started tinkering with websites and code in high school (while I gamed a lot too). I've always been fascinated with logic, creativity, puzzles, technology, music, and animation. I grew fond of math and physics in my degree program and learned to love the art of problem solving. That and communication are the two greatest skills you can obtain in my opinion anywhere.
