Courses Plus Student 13,560 PointsHey aurelien,
It took me about 3 months at a really leisurely pace of about 3 hours a week with no prior programming experience. anyways, I'm now building my own apps and am at a position in a company so 3 hours a week for 3 month but if you do like 10 for like 1 month you'll be job ready.
Best, Kai
