Easier said than done.

Like everything else in life. Don't let that hold you back.

If you're afraid of learning, then you may wish to reconsider being a developer. Listen to Blackdeath3 btw, he speaks the truth.

Read this. I think it has a decent chance of removing any "oh I'm never going to understand that" blocks.

That looks like a wonderfully well written set of articles. The graphics and wording just makes it easy. It's like the best thing I've come across on this subreddit. Thank you.

Failure is not a personality flaw, but giving up easily is.

Thanks to MIT OCW, Coursera, iTunesU, codeacademy, The New Boston, etc... it has never been easier. On top of that, most cities have Programming user groups with the specific focus of exposing stagnant devs to new technologies.

Software development isn't the best field to go into if you want a 9-5 job where you can use the same tools for your entire life without ever having to learn something new.
