What's a realistic timeline to become profession software developer?

vl_skill

I don't have any coding skills. But I passed some free courses here and read some basic tutorials on Medium. What would you say is an average timeline for someone who is capable?

I have skills in some Linux commands, some light HTML and CSS work and that's all. Also, you know some limitations in software development careers for disabled people, you can share it.

Hello @vl_skill and thanks for your query What got you into pursuing software development as a possible career? It's not a sector I'm too familiar with, so I can't answer about exactly how long it might take. 

You've asked about limitations in software development careers for disabled people- there are lots of different types of disabilities- so it would help to know a bit more about the kinds of things you find challenging day to day? 

I've had a quick search, and this software developer training apprenticeship takes 2 years to complete, so securing a role on top of that will likely take a bit longer. I hope that helps you get an idea of timescales!
