Like anything else, things worth doing well take time to learn.

There are great tutorials out there to teach you the very basics of programming in a few hours. There are also great tutorials out there that teach you to play a basic song on the guitar in a few hours.

As various iterations of the saying go: The more I learn about programming, the more amazed I am that computers even boot up and function.
