From his blog a year ago:
"... have just started back to school for computer science. I’ve been poking clumsily at programming for a few years, but only in the past few months have I actually started to take ideas of my own and successfully bring them to life.
... While I don’t think I can study an algorithm and announce its big Oh complexity, I’m getting there.
... going to school does take time away from my actually programming and self-learning about computer science in general."
Twelve weeks not exactly starting from scratch.
- bretthoerner 15y agoHe's talking about the past, not the last 12 weeks. I believe that post a year ago was very much inside the 12 weeks he's talking about.
- cfarnell 15y agoIn the article he says he learned programming from 2/11 to 5/11. I am glad he is successful but clearly his experience is far more than twelve weeks, so it is a bit disingenuous. That is too bad because it is a great story and needed no exaggeration.
