Yet, a good estimate is that it would probably take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to gain a firm understanding of a handful of programming languages. Get matched to a bootcamp today. The average bootcamp grad spent less than six months in career transition, from starting a bootcamp to finding their first job.
How long does it take to become a computer programmer? One of these downsides is obvious: time. Few of us are able to leave the workforce for that long, just to learn a new skill.
Another drawback to computer science degree programs is, of course, the cost. Higher education is more expensive than ever, and many people are unwilling to take out the massive amounts of student debt in order to finance their education this way. Coding or programming bootcamps are short-term programs that teach you the fundamentals and everything you need to start a career as a coder. These coding courses range widely in terms of their durations, but most coding bootcamps last only 3 to 6 months.
Programming bootcamps are becoming one of the best ways to learn coding in a short amount of time, and you gain many of the benefits of a full computer science degree program, including access to instructors, projects, and other valuable learning resources.
Further, a programming bootcamp usually offers access to mentors, job placement assistance, and other great tools. You have an enormous amount of autonomy in coding language selection. If you simply need to learn how to code a single language, you can choose an easier one to start. Most people say that learning a relatively easy programming language takes about 4 to 6 months. Coding is an ongoing learning process that will continue throughout your career.
You can certainly set a deadline for working knowledge. New coding languages always take time to master, but the time will get shorter as you learn more. Over the last half-decade, dozens of fast-track and specialized programming schools have sprung up around the country.
