It is not too late. The biggest problem people generally have learning something significantly new later in life is fear of looking stupid. As long as you don't mind looking stupid, you should have no problems. By this, I mean displaying your ignorance in asking for help, showing people your not-yet-beautiful-oreven-working code, and so on. I would suggest Zed Shaw's http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ is probably one of the best self-paced and self-taught courses on truly beginning programming available on the internets right now. In general, assuming normal health, the only major changes in terms of ability to learn occur in early childhood. There is evidence that you learn much more easily as a very young child, and structural patterns, around language in particular, become harder to change after puberty. This seems to be accepted in cognitive development circles, but the research is not overwhelming. |
