Comment on Ask HN: Is 36 too late to start into programming?parent

Comments

On the other hand, web programming is exceptionally easy...

No, it's not. The only thing easy in programming is writing trivial examples and small stuff like that. Writing a non-trivial program that has to be used by real users and is expected to have as few bugs as possible is not easy at all.

Compared to non-web programming, the tools are better, more well developed and the languages/formats require substantially less knowledge. This is all well documented.

If thats not easy, what is?
