Do I need a programmer education?

Hi, a very prestigious course is starting around here about HTML, C++ and Java. I am tempted to start it but it requires very hard work. Do you think it will compliment or hurt my attempts to succeed online? I can't make up my mind, I have too much going on anyway.

Please help with advice, I appreciate it very much.

Thank you.

I think you can schedule yr time, always do the most productive stuff before any other thing everyday. :)

It would be nice but certainly not required. There are enough people here that can help with most problems you'll have with your site. You have enough to learn here.

Focus on your business. There is still so much to learn and do. Nothing that can help grow your business to be learned by the experience of HTML or C++. Leave that to those experts and become expert in your niche.

If you want to develop your own software, then yes. There is a big learning curve involved with c++ or java.

I would focus on games. This site will help you decide hopefully, as I think it is one of the easiest ways to try it out:

Thank you very much.

I agree with Jim. :))

Hey Daniela,
I know all of those languages you mentioned and can tell you with the exception of a bit of tweaks to HTML here and there, I don't have any need to use them. Unless you're planning on developing plugins and themes, I can't really see why you'd want to go that route.
Best Regards,
Jim

I was hoping to hear something like this, thank you.

I wouldn,t bother if you already have enough on.I tried html a long time ago and it was a nightmare to write.Then again it,s like anything,you learn a system like reading music.I mean looking at music people have said to me how do you make head or tail of that,I should tell you I have been playing the piano for over twenty years.I suppose it,s just a system and you have to learn it.

You don't need it to suceed online and I think you answered your own question "I have too much going on!" It's easy to find any bits of html and CSS you might need to put on your site. :)

Thank you, this is somehow a relief. :)

Depends what you want to do. For affiliate marketing and sites made with Wordpress then knowing a bit about HTML and CSS can be handy. But you can learn enough from any free course on the internet.

So unless you want to be writing programs and making software it isn't necessary.

If you want to learn something that could make you money then try Swift, a new programming language from Apple that you use to make apps for their products - including the new Watch.

Thank you, I am going to make a research on that "Swift" thing.

Swift only works if developing for iOS and OS X projects. You would also need to learn Objective C and register as an Apple developer for $99 yearly. Huge learning curve:)

Lol, I don't know what you are talking about, you sound like the master of knowledge :) I envy you (in a nice way) :)

I did a course HTML once, but today, with all those automatic writing HTML I am hardly use any of it, allthough I am glad to know the basics, when I want to add a space or to have text appear on a specific place, I know how to implant HTML as and

and

  • but that is just all I use, I don't know what others will say about it, but in my opinion, you can use your time in a better way:)
  • Thank you.
