Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Year

  • Researchers (Bloom
    (1985)    , Bryan & Harter (1899), Hayes
    (1989)    , Simmon & Chase (1973)) have shown it
    takes about ten years to develop expertise in any of a wide variety of
    areas, including chess playing, music composition, telegraph
    operation, painting, piano playing, swimming, tennis, and research in
    neuropsychology and topology. The key is deliberative
    practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself
    with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it,
    analyzing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting
    any mistakes.

    somebody an expert painter
