Never really got anywhere. Its long enough ago that I don’t really remember why, but think I generally found it unengaging. Have periodically tried to teach myself programming through different methods since then but none have stuck. This probably speaks to the difficulty of learning new skills when you have limited time/energy resources, and no specific motivation, more than anything else. (Have had similar difficulties with language learning, but got past them due to short term practical benefits, and devoting specific time to the task).
Now that it’s been about a month, I’m curious—were you ever able to start working on the programming guide? No worries if you haven’t!
Still slowly working my way through codeacademy, intending to do the rest once I’m done. Will try and keep you updated
How did it go? Please share even if it didn’t work out it could be helpful for others.
