re: How quick can you learn how to code?

Depends on how proficient you want to be in it. You can have a very basic understanding of a lot of things in about a week, but to really understand it and learn how to apply it for any scenario you’ll need at least a year of coursework. Start with a simple language like Python to avoid unnecessary confusion and work your way up to a harder language like C++ or Java. If you’re feeling really ballsy go straight to Assembly language lol
