Comments from a non programmer who keeps meaning to learn:
I like that your first step is 5-10 hours, feels much more realistic than those guides that say you can become a master in ten seconds and makes me trust you.
I like that the second step includes explanation of things like github, I keep being linked to it but have no idea how to extract anything useful from the website.
I have now worked out that "rails" is short for "ruby on rails" and is a "web application framework" not a programming language.
I barely understand the rest, but I like the periodic reminders to reevaluate your priorities. Makes for a nice change from the programming evangelists.
I'll try and work my way through your recommendations and let you know how it goes.
Now that it's been about a month, I'm curious -- were you ever able to start working on the programming guide? No worries if you haven't!
Still slowly working my way through codeacademy, intending to do the rest once I'm done. Will try and keep you updated
How's it going?
Thanks for the compliments. I look forward to it!

Hopefully it will make sense once you get there. Let me know if it doesn't!

Well, Ruby is the programming language and Rails is the framework.
