yes, I figured that approach would be best but - to use an analogy... If say Arabic was THE language to learn - do I go about learning French first or jump straight in? Crap analogy and wrong I know but - where to start in terms of programming language? What to aim for?
I realise I have to learn the fundamentals of all - the grammar as it were but - is it realistic for a 35 year old to self learn a programming language and possibly be able to expand on it and even...make some money from it?
What sort of timescale is it, on average, to learn or undergo something like this and come out at the other end knowing something "useful"?
Very vague and subjective I know, my apologies.
