My journey: I learned about html and it clicked fast then got introduced to C & C++, but shit was so hard I didn't know what I was typing even
Then I moved to C# , installed Vs studio but still things weren't clicking
A friend suggested python is easiest , but when I tried I got discouraged, I didn't know how indenting worked, most of my programs failed so I dropped it.
Then I attempted again with JavaScript, early days of react js when SPAs were hot, I still failed. Angular js was more easier but still couldn't put up anything.
I gave up and took a break, that was after failing for a whole year, nothing clicking.
I tried again the following year, and that's when I heard about ruby and rails. I downloaded Learn enough rails to be dangerous, and walked through the tutorial step by step, finished my twitter clone, was amazed that I had a twitter clone!
This inspired me to learn more, there's a way ruby abstracted simple concepts into readable syntax , non scary cryptic stuff. It was almost like plain English.
This made me realize why I was failing, the languages I had started with introduced advanced concepts so fast without telling you why such things exist in the first place.
I mean writing a class just to print first hello world is such an overkill. Plus many languages use strange symbols & syntax that look intimidating.
Now, I can learn any language in just minutes or a day. Overall it took me 1 year and about 6 months . More solid knowledge has been learned on working on projects at companies
All the best
