Knuckle down and study MIT's SICP course: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-001Spring-2005/CourseHome/ http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Compute... You can find the book here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Finish this course and you'll have a better grounding than many of today's professional programmers, and will be able to teach yourself pretty much anything.

A bunch of HN folks have formed a SICP study group, if you choose this route: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=428248 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=428248

  One of my friends is workingthrough SICP. (He left his job becauee he felt burnt out and wanted to do something different before he went back into a 9 to 5 job). He is posting the answers on his blog (http://lawfulsamurai.blogspot.com/search/label/SICP http://lawfulsamurai.blogspot.com/search/label/SICP). This might be helpful to you

    Wow, he started in December and he's on chapter 4 already! I would be happy to finish SICP in one year. [edit: Now I am reading his blog more closely and he only started posting his answers in December. He started reading SICP in July]

      "edit: Now I am reading his blog more closely and he only started posting his answers in December. He started reading SICP in July" well, he didn't do too much for the first 3 or so months. so he really got down to work around September iirc.
