I didn't go to college and for the same reasons. I don't think you need a degree. At first it'll help, but if you can market yourself you'll land a job regardless. After enough years of experience, then the degree matters even less and less. I mean it'll help, but I don't think it's mandatory. All you really need to do is prove what you know and market that, so keep a portfolio of your work and you'll do okay in the job market.

As always ... some will always fall for such "get rich quick" schemes. Or in this case "learn quick". I tend to see these as very similar to those "you've got a tax refund" / "you've won the lottery" scams. It's designed for the gullible, who'll believe that it's soooooo easy just because they read a few "remarks from previous students": Just see how many glowing reviews are on their page! Now why would all of those guys lie?
And in other news...

You just can't teach experience.

I agree completely. I'd say 5 years to achieve proficiency, and 10 years to reach anything that resembles mastery. I have been coding for a lot longer than that, and I'm still learning something new every day.

Comet Lovejoy lived up to its name by releasing large amounts of alcohol as well as a type of sugar into space, according to new observations by an international team. Road trip!

What's the problem? Is the comet underage?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

"We're about to leave a whole chunk of the internet in the past," as millions of people remain dependent on old, insecure, but widely-used encryption. Maybe that will get them to finally upgrade?

SHA2 encryption? Did I read correctly? Since when hashing has become encryption?

Since "SHA2 signatures for the SSL certificates used to encrypt HTTPS" is too complicated for the average ZDnet reader.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

During Google's Q3 earnings call CEO Sundar Pichai said the company was "re-thinking" all of its products to include more artificial intelligence and an approach called machine learning. I just asked Cortana, and she disagrees

Well, heaven only knows, all those people texting, tweeting, instagramming, and FB'ing aren't showing any signs of intelligence or ability to learn.
I figure, the timing for self driving cars is perfect. I'm getting tired of seeing those signs on the highway "text-stop in 5 miles."

You don't need perfect vision to see that HTC's latest smartphone, the One A9, is nearly identical to Apple's iPhone 6 and 6s. But the Taiwan-based company swears Apple copied its design first, not the other way around. They copied us before we had a chance to make our product!
