Programming? Absolutely! There are many places in the world where programmers are in high demand, making it somewhat easier to get into than some other fields. That being said, it can be a big and complex field, so don't expect to learn everything in a year. Don't pretend you're more experienced than you are, but stress your willingness to learn. For some people (companies, positions) lack of experience will be a problem, but not for everyone. Go make something public (github perhaps). Start small! It's not going to be.., ehrm, that great. But that's not the point. The goal is to improve and show that you can actually do this.
