How Long Does It Really Take to Learn Programming?
If you can commit a reasonable number of hours and have access to good mentorship, four months is enough to get you started.
Within six months, you should be comfortable building small to medium-sized projects.
By one year, you should be challenging yourself with more complex projects and actively applying for internships or junior/beginner roles.
Consistency, mentorship, and hands-on practice matter far more than raw talent.
