Hi,
I've just started learning programming to be a web developer. I've learned html, CSS , now on C# and to go for ASP.NET, Java, etc..
I see a lot of posts in devRant and on Facebook about Programming I feel like most people reached far and it's too late for me start now.

Any advice please.

    It's never too late to start, there are tons of resources to help you learn just about any aspect of programming you want to.

    One thing you'll need though is a desire to do it. If you don't like programming, it's going to be tough. There are lots of resources out there like codecademy, codeschool, and google that can help out beginners get started.

    What are your reasons for wanting to become a programmer?

    @tytho Actually when I finished secondary I studied a little bit about programming but to go further I had to look for a job in order to continue study and I had hard time health issues in between. I've been working as customer service representative for 4yrs but I love programming. I found super good instructor about programming Mr. Bob Tabor

    @tytho And the other reasons
    1-I feel it's enough for me to be in customer service.

    2-I saw some sites where they offer free courses about programming but I have to pay for certificate. I started taking those courses and enjoyed. Said I found what I like.
    Let me continue.

    First off, its never too late.

    Second, if you know HTML and CSS...why not continue down that path?

    HTML -> CSS -> SASS/LESS -> Javascript -> NodeJS....

    thats a path that will get you hired instantly anywhere.

    Its never to late. In my opinion you should continue that path that the other people say HTMM-CSS-JS-PHP and so. If you wanna do apps Java or Swift (depending of the os obviously), what I mean is that you need to organize your ideas and with that lear the language that you need. Good luck

    @mattwebdev When I joined to learn programming as per the curriculum there starting with C#, HTML5 and CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery Fundamentals, Bootstrap 4 fundamentals. When I finish learning those then I've to decide then whether I need to finish a project quickly (Tools Driven Architecture) (Faster, but less resilient to changes) like ASP.NET Web Forms, ...
    or go for Maintenance Driven Architecture Path (slower, but more resilient to changes) like application architecture fundamentals, Introduction to unit testing, Visual Studio Online and Agile Processes,....
    and I planned to go for Maintenance Driven Architecture as it's more resilient to changes.

    Any advice?

    I would Suggest you the hard way, jumping into the Pool and learning to swim. Learn C. If you truly understand C and how allocation etc. works then you'll find Java or other modern languages a piece of cake with its Garbage Collector and OO Concept. Also maybe you will enjoy C so much that you Specialize as a hardcore tech and go intp c/c++/asm

    @iceman it seems that you have experience...im learning Swift, then i would like to try with Python and after that C# for videogames, what do you think? It is a good plan?

    @galaxyfinder1
    why are you learning Swift? Do you want to be a mobile developer? I wouldnt start with python if you want to be a serious developer, just because you miss out the whole concept of datatypes etc. IMO Python is like JS a good util for every programmer, you can do almost anything with Python. Lots of scientists use Python for data work, so unless you have a concrete Plan for what you want to do, learn atleast the basics of C so you learn how memory works, what pointers, stacks etc. are. Once you are familiar with these concepts you will avoid alot of mistakes and see errors quicker than most Java developers who never touched any other language.

    @iceman yes mobile developer, small videogames developer and I was interested on Python because like what you said you can do anything. I'll check the basics of C, thanks man

    @galaxyfinder1 so for you I would suggest : Crash course C -> practice Java (then Android) or Objective C/Swift for iOS. Once you are good in one of these languages you can learn python within few days

    also C wont be easy, but it will give you an understanding of programming that is hard to see for Java greenhorns
