Is it possible to learn coding in three months?

Hello,

Is it possible to learn to code in three months? Is it possible to create something decent using HTML and php after learning for three months with no prior knowledge?

It should be relatively easy to learn HTML/CSS plus PHP within a few months, especially if you can put in a few hours a day. Codecademy's HTML/CSS tutorial is pretty cool, and they have one for PHP too. They estimate it'll take about 11 hours, and after that I'd suggest you just start making some of your own projects to practice and master those languages.

You might need to allow for a little more time since you haven't done any programming before, though if you're not to bad at maths, you shouldn't struggle too much.

Definitely! If you could spend just 30 minutes a day over the course of three months, that would end up being almost two full days of education. And even if you don't feel proficient after that amount of time, you've at least gotten a good start. The quicker you start practicing, the faster you'll start improving your skills. 🙂

Basic coding, definitely. Anything more than that though, no.

It's possible to learn to code in three months, although learning to write code well requires a good amount of experience: more than a year, maybe two. Learning to write code with good practice requires either mentoring from someone at a software company or formal training, such as at a university.

I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have formal training; most languages have coding standards readily available, and lots of places on the internet will happily help you to write good, maintainable programs 😉

I learn basic PHP online within a week. I was able to build a very basic site after learning the basic.

It's more than just coding standards. To be a truly good software developer, you also have to learn how to properly plan and design software, communicate with customers, etc.

learnt HTML, PHP and CSS in a few months so yeah. If you go more technical then much longer.


Best way to learn is making sites and using others code as inspiration.

HTML/CSS can be learned within a few days. PHP not so.

Html, css, and php are definitely the easiest...it's just finding the time to actually sit down and write the code.
