One such obstacle is the common misunderstanding about how long it takes to learn to code. When I first started thinking about learning to code, my main concern was that I wouldn’t have time, or that it would take several years just to learn the coding language I’d chosen, R. I had vivid recollections of trying to learn to code by reading a textbook in college, and the thought of spending long evenings curled up by a dense and dry textbook really put me off.

Your situation will probably be quite different from mine, and so the answer to how long it will take you to learn to code will be different, too.

How can you make it easy, fun, and rewarding to learn the programming language of your choice?

Rather than wondering how long it takes to learn to program, you should create a plan that will help you answer that question specifically for you.
