Hey guys,
Im trying to teach myself programming, my aim is software development, but im still a long way away from that goal
But...apart from that its going well...
I have currently read "Sams Tech yourself C# in 24 hours"(why they insist on such a stupid concept i dont know), and almost finished O'Rilleys "Learning C#2005", which im really liking. Not the most exiting book, but seems to give you a good grounding...Have just brought Programming C# and will get stuck into that soon...
So basically I have no real previous programming experience, but I am studying computer science and more importantly for the last 2 months been putting serious effort into learning it. How long does it take to get to a level where you can do freelance jobs? Just some kind of ballpark figure would be nice, like am i looking at 2 years of hard work before im of any use to another company or more or less? I am still young and want to go travelling before I get seriously into the business world, but travelling isnt cheap...
Thanks, appreciate the help!
Nick
