Oh, thank you that you made a post "How to get started...", not "how to become...". I tired from the articles about easy programming for all, because it's not true, it can't be easy for all. If you don't have mathematical mind it will be better forget about it.
And your article will help people to understand can they use it or not. Thank you one more time!
The "learn x in y hours/days/weeks" is a marketing gimmick and it bothers me too. In fairness it does depend on his far you v want to go: not all programming is created equal, and you can get by in some cases without a strong mathematical background
