How Much Programming Knowledge Can I Amass In 3 Months? by Altairx440: 8:29pm On Jan 02, 2022
Hello there,

Say for instance I decide to learn programming and coding for three months nonstop with considerable effort each day without break and i have zero prior knowledge of programming concepts, what level of knowledge would i have or what level of knowledge am i supposed to have after three months??

PS: actual programming(Concepts, Fundamentals, Languages, DSA e.t.c) not frontend development i.e HTML, CSS e.t.c

Thanks for your time.

Lolzzz!!! 3 months is just for introduction. After a year you still be learning bro. There are so many things to learn. The language itself, data structures and Algorithms and other programming tools. The rate at which technology is advancing and enhancing will necessitate a person to open to new things to learn everyday. Programming is a way of life itself, the field is a long life learning profession. I like it like that!!

You won't go anywhere in 3 months even if you are spending 10 to 12 hours everyday especially for programming fundamentals except you are a one of a kind genius. Data structures and algorithms and systems design are some of the most difficult things in the world of programming.

Let's say one month to really grab a programming language. Another one month to learn the basic data structures. Another one month to practice the basic data structures which is like over 10 of them let's even say 2 questions on each across one month is just 60 questions. You haven't reached anywhere at all honestly after 3 months. Six months ehen. That's enough to get somewhat sufficient.

What about UI/UX design?
That's what I'm learning at the moment.
Is 3 months enough for one to learn to a level where one can apply for jobs??

I don't know anything about that. You have to create a thread and ask them.

@tensazangetsu20

Are you saying 3 months is not possible because this person is a complete noob? I have become very rusty in programming haven stayed away for almost 10years but I feel like I can get back to top levels if I spend 3 intense months re-learning.

I was glancing over some videos on Quicksort and Big O analysis and something inside me was waking up in a funny way. I stopped programming because for me it was very draining taking huge amounts of my time

Understanding those videos isnt hard for someone who has programmed before but stopped but solving questions and passing them is the koko. You can watch a video on quicksort but if i bring a question to solve on it will you be able. People are able but thats after months and months of practice on leetcode and hackerrank.

I think I can. I've never been on leetcode or hackerrank but I'm sure if I put in 3 months preparing for their questions I will be able to ace it. 90 days, 4-6 hours daily? I go smash am

Of course na definitely. 4 to 6 hours daily in 3 months is enough to solve like 200 questions or more sef. You will smash any interview. Facebook even copies questions there so if you cram everything you can pass their interview. Thats what I am doing now but due to work I cant do more than one a day.

Please i want to ask a question, is it about solving those questions or its about an efficient solution. Please, i would like to know

If it's a face to face interview. It's more about solving them and coming up with solutions even if they aren't efficient but if it's a hackerrank or codility screen then yes the solution has to be very effective.

Sorry but please if I may ask. Why did you leave programming for 10 years? That seems like a very long time.

Did you move to another career that was more lucrative? I am just curious.
