Most definitely I think it's possible. A close friend of mine used to be a rugby player until he was 28, then went to get a degree in IT and became software engineer at 32. I find him one of the most humble people I know. Though I may have had more "academic experience", his "life" experiences enriched his career far better than most of the cohorts. A plenty of ways to get into programming * A number of "learn how to code" (free, paid) paid sites available - a simple Google will do. * Browse through an easy GitHub project to get into? * Take a look at some of the side projects being sold at "http://sideprojectors.com" http://sideprojectors.com" (disclaimer, this is my website) - many of the developers are selling their side projects with existing user base + product, which you can inherit and change it the way you want. I think it would be a great way to get your hands dirty and work with existing customer base. Hope that helps.
