i would try this, it's basically a free college course from MIT, theres a lot of other similiar classes on there too and similar websites that offer computer sciences for free online
i've never done them so they might be awful but it's worth looking into
edit: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrica...puter-science/ heres a list of all the classes you might be interested in

CSS and HTML can be learned in 2 weeks, but that isn't even programming. The real stuff(C++,java) takes several months to get fluent in.

I'd probably add another six months since he wants to learn CSS as well.Originally Posted by MrNippers

idk, took me a few days when I was in high school.
html isn't even coding, it's just layout.Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

I wouldn't even consider HTML and CSS coding because it's just that easy. Just buy a very good book and I'm sure you'll learn it in a month or two with disciplined studying.
The real coding comes in languages like C++, C, and Java. Those are the big players.*high libido crew*

They are easy enough to learn.
HTML = layout
CSS = style
JS (jQuery) = added functionality
When you get better look into PHP. Its a scripting language used to turn web sites into web applications.
Then start looking into Drupal / Word press to start to create content managed websites. That is where the work is. Noone wants a static website. They will want to be able to change text / add pages as they need to.

It takes months to learn how to program some beginner things in C++/java, it takes years to learn how to actually design and architect C++/Java programs.Originally Posted by AlphaAlbert

Buy multiple books and see if you can program the assignments that are given inside the books. These assignments are quite difficult though. When I took it at uni, the professor would guide your every step when you made the assignments because it was that difficult. Even with guidance, half the people didn't pass the class.Originally Posted by FernandoVenezue
It's just something that requires a lot of "outside the box" thinking.
Once you learn it, the world of possibilities with C++ is endless. If you are a creative thinker, you can create a lot of cool stuff on it/.*high libido crew*

Its depends on how much you understand the process of coding and if you love it. Some people is automatically and others is quite difficult but through doing it everyday becomes very easy

Check out freecodecamp OP. Couple different languages you can learn and completely free. Also go at your own pace which is nice

Months to years depending on how serious you take it
If you street learning like a second full-time job or something you do for a few hours now and then.
No one ITT can judge your level of motivation
