i'm new to this site, and find everyone really knowledgeable, but I'm interested in finding a new career in programing. The problem or is it a problem, I'm 49 and can maneuver around sites, but have limited ability or little knowledge about software. Where do I begin, there seems to be alot of info out there, and it's tough to follow. Can anyone guide me to start the learning process?
