I am not sure if this is the best place for it, but let's go:

I am 35 years old and I always worked in the localization industry. I really love to code and I always developed small tools and scripts to help me and others at work, but now the company is going bad and it has the chance to close.

I was reckon if it would be a good idea to give development a try, besides my age and the lack of experience in a real development place. I am not even sure if I use programming good practices, as I always developed by myself.

Do you have any opinion about it?

Thank you so much!

    I've started a job almost 3 years ago as a regular Java developer with little to no knowledge of Java. Before that, for one year I've been developing Windows Phone apps alone. So just like you I had little experience and little knowledge of good practices and working on large projects. 3 years passed and I'm still a Java dev and I've learned a lot.

    So if you know a bit how to code and you like doing it, then I think you could give it a shot.

    I think you should at least give it a try because the most important of all is that you like it and if you have done all of this alone then it's even better because you have learnt everything yourself and you should be confident for the future also! Best of luck :)

    Wow, thank you so much you both! I was feeling fearful and you are encouraging me to do it! :)

    What you only need is time and interest. Ingredients of the best recipe.
