Learning to Code Is Much Easier Than Most Non Programmers Think

If your goal is mostly practical, i would not spend much time with it in the beginning. The main reason for this seems to be because setting up is frustrating. Early classes are populated with self taught wis kids who make you feel stupid. If you can get through the initial frustration and build a little confidence, any one can learn to code. It's a skill you can use throughout your life, even if you never become a full time programmer.
