Is Java worth learning in my late thirties? [closed]

Question

First I want to say is that I am 37 years old and not from programmer background (actually from biology). And my question is should I start learning java? I have coded in php and javascript for a year and a half. Every answer would be appreciated Thanks in advance Bobi.

Answer 1

Yes.

( what else can I say? )

Answer 2

It really depends on what your motivation for learning it is. Do you want a language that gets you a job easily, a language that gets you an interesting job, a language to hack in for fun, etc.?

Answer 3

If you enjoyed coding in php and javascript, then you probably have discovered the "programmer mindset" and I would say go for it. You're never to old to learn interesting new things!

If, on the other hand, you hated the coding you have done already then learning a different language probably won't help.
