How long does it take to learn programming?

Every line is like a mountain. Beginners to programming often don’t know where to start and are very confused. The following questions are often asked by me. I have summarized them and shared them with readers.

#1) How long does it take to learn programming?
This is a question without an answer. Everyone’s time investment, learning efficiency and foundation are different. If you spend a lot of time studying every day, you can learn C/C in two or three months, and write some software in less than half a year.

But one thing is for sure, it is absolutely impossible for a novice to grow into a great master in a few months. If you want to be outstanding, you will not be able to do it without a few years of hard work. Learning programming cannot be done by reading a few books. It requires you to practice continuously, write code, and accumulate scattered knowledge points. The amount of code is directly related to your programming level. Without tens of thousands of lines of code, there is no work that can be used. How can you be called a "great god"?

I don’t know the basics of English and mathematics, can I learn it? Can I learn it after graduating from junior high school?

Speak English first. Programming requires you to have a basic knowledge of English, and you are fully competent at junior high school level. Programming originated in the United States. There will be many words in the code. It will be very easy to memorize it if you have a basic knowledge of English. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know it. I recommend you to install Youdao Dictionary. Its word delineation function is very good. Whatever you select can be translated immediately. , whether it is a sentence or a word. In this way, I believe it will not be a problem for you to develop commonly used software.

Of course, if you want to achieve very high attainments and want to be called a great master, then you must read technical information in English (not all materials are translated into Chinese), which is a bit difficult at the junior high school level. However, reading English for a long time will improve your English level. As long as you persist for a period of time, even if you are only at the junior high school level, I believe you will improve quickly with the help of Youdao Dictionary.

If you have never learned English and don’t know am, is, and are, then what should I say? Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you want to learn, I believe you can overcome the obstacles in English.

As for mathematics, as long as you don’t plan to engage in algorithms, machine learning/artificial intelligence, big data/data analysis, can add, subtract, multiply and divide, and know the most basic concepts such as power, square root, scientific notation, etc. Don’t think of math as an obstacle to learning.
