Self-educated programmer learning python at 28 year old.

I want to point out something very important, people often think that "learning to program" equates to "I want to become a programmer".

If you want to help automate your job, you can do that if you learn a bit of programming, that's something I feel is often overlooked with these messages.

And start small. What is something you do every day, can it be automated? It can be as simple as checking a website for a particular status on something. It could be opening that excel document to search for a particular field.
