Hey guys, so a quick question from a noob here.

How long do you think it will take me in order to learn JavaScript and some of it's frameworks and also PHP to be able to create my own wordpress Plugins?
 
It depends on how much time you put into learning. If you dedicate 8 - 10 hours per day, you should have enough working knowledge to build a plug-in in a month or 2.

I'm dedicating 2hours everyday
 
30 mins to write "Hello world".
Years to build a SaaS / sites like FB - IG.
 
depend on your intellect and memory span. If you are good, 2-3 months and basics of java script should be learned. PHP is a different animal.

thanks for your response.
 
My two cents on your question:
  1. It depends on how much time you put into it and how fast your "click" it. Believe it or not, coding, like any skill needs that moment of "I get it". This is the moment when you start to actually understand what and why are you doing. This is when your learning curve improves drastically.
  2. Know how to code from scratch (at your discretion) and knowledge to build based on an already build product that comes with coding standards are two different things. And the later might take longer than you can expect. Basically, if you want to build a plugin, besides knowing how to code, you need to understand also how WP works. And this is another learning curve in itself.
So, if you want to code,you might even be able to do it after one week of intensive learning.

But to code a plugin you might need months.

Do I recommend do it? Of course! There is no greater satisfaction then when you "click it" and simply start understanding (truly) how a product used by millions is built. And this opens a new avenue for future opportunities.
 
It depends on your skill. Usually ppl will learn and start coding in 6 to 9 months time and spending at least 4 hrs a day to learn..
 
start learning while building a small project.
think of an idea, ideas that you think you can manage to build and put it into codes.
 
less than 1~2 month ?
1.quick read php and js grammar dont need remember
2.find similar simple open source plugin with good evaluation
3.read the source code and read the grammar when you need
