What’s the fastest you’ve ever learned a coding language?

[UberEatsDriver]

I learned the basics of SQL in one day and was doing challenges the next day.

But I always hear SQL is one of the “easier” languages.

Looking forward to R and python next.

You?

You can be mediocre in 6months. It takes you literal years to be professionally good at any of them.


I picked up c in 4mos, but my object oriented stuff was trash until year 2.







It's kinda like how you can learn the vocabulary of Spanish or French by memorizing, but you would still be caught stumbling over your own tounge when speaking to natives.

 

[Software]

Most of these brehs don't know one. This probably the wrong subforum for this.

 

[Mike809]

i wouldn't consider SQL a language as python/R are.
two different animals.

Years is a crazy stretch. A few hours a day and you can at least be good enough to contribute something to a project on a professional level in like 3 months

I reached a level of comfort writing JS in maybe 3-4 months.

Yea I’m not “good” imma need to keep coding daily for sure

Question for you breh. Aren't you an accountant? Why the need to pick this up?


You got a pretty stable career with govt sanctioned credentials/certs that keep keep a sea of bootcampers and hb1s out of your lane. You also live in a city blessesed with half of the world's top 10 accounting firms in it. Its a pretty sweet spot to be in. It'd be like a Facebook softwareEng trying to learn accounts receivable years into his tech career.


Are you thinking of making some corporate turbo tax type of programs(obviously not with server stuff like sql or mongo) or are you making a career change entirely?

 

[At30wecashout]

Gonna force Python myself and try to get good at it in 3 months. Not enough to program, but something higher than scripting. My resume isn't catching fire at the moment within my org so I'm gonna see if I can do that.

True.

Is it true SQL is easy to learn, but hard to master?

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

A month ?

 

[⠀X ⠀]

I don’t have the attention span to learn to code

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

10,000 hr rule estimates roughly a year and some change.

If you really on your shyt though probably 6 months, plus if you have knack for coding syntax and grammar then 4 most likely

 

[West Coast Avenger]

The majority of Python in 2 weeks....that shyt changed my life.... ....I'm a master on these bots....and know Kodi like the back of my hand...
