Oh geesh, this post hits a nerve for a lot of people, including myself. I've held many job titles, none of them related to anything programmer-ish.
I may have a non-programmer day job, but I've been dabbling with learning code since the days of Flash (more than 20 years), and still today I have to lookup how to do relatively basic JavaScript functions because I so often get them wrong. The reason I haven't given up is because I genuinely love being able to create something out of nothing.
I STILL barely know how to use github, and rarely use extra frameworks - mainly because I always run into issues installing stuff of my work computer. That hasn't stopped me from creating neat little web applications using only javascript, html and CSS.
I look at programming just like I look at musicians - amazing musicians are incredible to watch but can also be incredibly disheartening to someone just trying to learn. I don't think you have to be a genius to be a good programmer, you just have to be dedicated.
Flash! I created my very first website in high school using flash, and I will always brag that it was my teacher's favorite website and HE would brag to everybody about it haha!
If you need help with installing stuff in your computer let me know, because of this bootcamp I've become an expert at installing almost everything xD!
Do you have any links to the applications you've built?
