Sio kwa ubaya, but honestly I think you have to have it in you; or at least have the curiosity and interest in you. If you don't you don't. Almost all, no in fact I think ALL great developers (or who I say are very good) I have come across the world over are autodidacts. (and they use semi colons, always have the correct number of opening and closing brackets and lots of punctuations in their sentences :p )

Having been a small time professional coder for nearly a decade, the main issue i have struggled with is getting helping hands who can deliver on time and budget and i retain a small net income (client fees - coders salary). It takes over 12 months minimum to get one on a project without fulltime hand holding.
So i decided to take the bull by the horns and become a lecturer of coders. I am taking some 4th years. when i demanded that since majority want to use php/mysql, they get into frameworks, scm(git), learn a bit of css and js(angular,jquery) 90% protested thats its too much work. they need time to pass units and interestingly the software development unit is not examinable!

Me thinks there was a time being a programmer was cool, and there were a flood of "coders" who did it because of that reason, not because they had it in them; at that time php, mysql, java were the most popular language. So there a million people who can "do" php, joomla, mysql, wordpress - till you give them a project and ... shock! From my experience there are very few actual programmers.

Just wondering why that is, since it looks like there's a ready market for these skills?

Really good stuff. Python programmers (especially with Django) are few and far between!
