If you are here, you are interested in making a career change to become a programmer, so let’s get started. Software developers work on fascinating projects and command really impressive salaries, considering the huge demand for the skill, it’s no wonder you are interested in the skill. Learning to code could be a very fulfilling and rewarding career choice, but oftentimes, new entrants ask, “is coding really hard”. Simple answer: NO Coding is really not hard. If you take your time, have a little patience, and be consistent, you can really do learning – and coding is not an exception. How is Coding not really hard to learn? Firstly, starting out can be very tricky. It is best not to “bite more than you can chew”, especially when you are new. Learning complex languages in the beginning before mastering the simple stuff can get really confusing, and it is one of the best ingredients to giving up quickly on the journey. It is best to start from the fundamentals before mastering complex methodologies. The easy-to-learn languages HTML and CSS If you are a beginner, HTML and CSS is the best place to start from. It is easy to learn, and it makes you appreciate the really easy concepts of programming. HTML is very valuable in every field of web development, the support is great, and you can pretty much find tutorials everywhere on the web. Ruby on Rails Ruby on Rails is also an interesting language to consider after mastering HTML and CSS. Ruby on Rails is beginner-friendly, with lots of easy-to-master syntaxes.

Esama: They're a lot of things hard to learn Stop deceiving yourself If development was easy people will spend 1 hour learning it It takes months and years because it's hard period. The fact that your brain takes its time to fully understand what's going on means it's hard on its own Even for geniuses 10 Likes 1 Share |

Guy stop misleading people because of your own selfish interest. I have no knowledge about programming when I started it in 2014. But today I thank God for where I am. GREATIGBOMAN: |
Re: Is Coding Really Hard To Learn? Advice For Beginners by Nobody: 10:07am On May 27, 2022 |
Esama: Stop being silly What selfish reason are u capping about? The fact something is hard doesn't mean it can't be learnt It is hard doesn't mean it can't be learnt I'm not misleading anyone... just stating the obvious You started since 2014 and it took you 8 years to get a hold of it hahahaha and u say it's easy You're an Okpo and you're the one misleading people. To learn coding and earn say 300k per month upwards You'll gnash your teeth day and night You'll spend countless hours in one spot doing same thing that wouldn't make any sense for days You'll watch a 30 minutes video for sometimes 5 hours You'll write a code, delete it, write it again , delete it and again and again. You won't get a penny while doing all this brothers and sisters It's for those with passion mostly and who love the bigger picture HTML is easy That's where it ends CSS is tricky lol Easy and first confusing later even for pros JavaScript is where your problems starts If you understand JavaScript to the point you can confidently build your own say, Array methods... then you may start perceiving other things as easy This guy saying it's easy may not even know how to build a simple Caesar Sipher 8 Likes 3 Shares |

GREATIGBOMAN: Underrated comment. You deserve 10 beers for this, Programming is challenging, it's hard, because you're capable of doing something doesn't make it easy, it like a footballer coming to tell you football is easy, he himself will know himself is lying. Anything worth it in life is hard. Except grace dey your head 4 Likes 1 Share |

Programming is really hard to say the truth. I am already in to it so there is no going back. In this life nothing good really comes easy. If it is easy to do why are companies paying thousands of dollars as salary to programmers to develop software for them? Why are they scarce and well demanded. Programming is a very serious brain labour task that requires dedication, time and seriousness. 5 Likes |

I think it depends on the individual. I study medicine so I decided to venture into new challenging grounds, and I've been studying JavaScript for some weeks now, and seriously its not difficult. My idea of having gone through medical school makes me feel nothing can more difficult and truthfully it's been really smooth for me sha. So it depends on the individual, your ability to learn fast and discipline too. And please, it's tasky but not impossible!! Don't lose the battle before you even start it. Good luck |

jansonn: Coding is more difficult than studying medicine by far by far, especially if you decide to leave the junior developer ranks into senior. This is my 14th year and there’s still a large field of knowledge for me to yet acquire. |
