Web Developer Career

Cassandra Said:

55 too old to get an asp.net developer career?

We Answered:

Since you have your career goal in mind, the next thing to consider is what your competition will be doing to get the same job you're after: a degree.

I'm not saying that you have to go get a bachelor's in computer science, but I would suggest an associates degree in computer science as minimum, if you are wanted a chance at any type of competitive job.

If I were in your shoes, I would:

1. Find another job - at least part time.
2. Apply to a community college that offers computer science or programming programs and certificates
3. Learn the basics of computer science and programming with a good starter language, such as Java.
4. Once you know the basics of computer science and programming, programming professionally will be a matter of simply learning the syntax for any language, or multiple languages, and applying the knowledge you've attained to your projects.

Good Luck.
