"everyone can code" is like to say "everyone can write". Yes, everyone can write, but there's a difference between be able to write and be able to write a successful well-written novel

also, everyone can do almost anything given enough time and dedication. the matter is actually having given that effort.

@cors I was referring to all those advertisement which promise you to become a programmer in 2 weeks

@crisz oh i see...

Good point!

I know if you put time in you can learn, however not in a short time because realistically the only way you can learn in 2 weeks is to code all day, every day.

Personally, I couldn't code anything to save my life 2 years ago, but I've been slowly teaching myself how to code.

I can't create any master pieces and I'm terrible at sticking to coding standards... but I've created a few working applications in Python and C# as well as improving my scripting knowledge in Power Shell.

So coming from a non-programming background, I know that if you put effort in, you can learn.

@cors couldn't agree more. Determination is an intelligence of its own.

Only experience can learn you this
