A couple of afternoons if you already are proficient in Matlab or Java :)
A lot of video tutorials out there, some you may even listen to in your car.
We actually have a success case with a young girl banker who wanted to be a programmer at 25. She enlisted in our paid-academy (we did the paying) projects. It took her 3-6 months to reach a comfortable level in .NET
She got an offer to work full time here afterwards.
So follow what you like and working people will usually be rewarded in life.
But yes, programming is easy, @greenrun, a lot of fun and has the ability to keep Mr.Alzheimer away :D
Cheers!
