I want to learn how to code

[gDrive]

Off Topic (regarding the way we learn things nowadays): Thank God for Google and the Internet! Learning has become a pleasant and "entertaining" activity (no sarcasm intended, but I find learning fun nowadays, especially when I teach myself as to how to do things)

On Topic (here's my question regarding programming): How long, on average, does it take for someone to successfully familiarize themselves with a programming language such as Java/C++/C# ?

@ steverockdood - have a wonderful educating journey mate!

TheNewBoston – Free Educational Video Tutorials on Computer Programming and More!

This guy is really helpful and provides a lot of Tutorials, im getting good JavaScript because of him this is Good stuff because its free
He also does videos on Modeling, and Game development if your interested but i haven't seen any of them

I think for everyone its better to have a teacher IRL but self learning and internet resources builds Character and the ability to say your a champion at what you do

What i would do:
First find what Language you want to learn (I assume your topic deals with the ps3 so C/C++)
Get the proper tools to deal with the language(s)
Learn it (Basics)
Practice it along the way
Learn more (Novice)
More practice
Tackle a big project or join a team to learn more
(This is time consuming don't try to do it on your little bit of free time and get good over night)

I Find learning something new about 3D modeling or anything i love more fascinating than seeing Visual progress of what i can actually do but im just stupid like that

To be quite honest it depends on the person. There's really no "average" as it's like any other educational principle such as science, math, history, etc etc. There is no right answer. it depends on your own ability to pick things up. You may be able to get the ropes in a matter of days, or it could take months to years before you really become comfortable. It honestly depends on hundreds of different factors. I know that's probably not the answer you want, but anything other then this is purely subjective and in all honesty opinionated.

Thanks for answering my question xPx (xPreatorianx)! I agree with you with regards to personal factors affecting the overall pace of learning in all walks of life.

Speaking of the OP's (steverockdood) post, I admire him/her for saying the following, because at least it shows that s/he intends to help out and give something in return (in the scene):

I want to learn how to code because im sick of being a leecher in the threads
