Answer 1

Hiya, I'll try and answer your questions!

1. What is the good age for coding?
a. No age restriction, or 'good age'. Any age is good!

2. till what age people should carry on with coding or it should be for entire career?
a. again, no age restriction or limit. That's more of a personal decision. If you decide that one day in the future you get bored with coding, then leaving it will not really impact you much. Although you will have a greater understanding in the field of computers than the general public.

3. can someone start learn and make career in coding at 35 or 40 years?
a. Yes of course. In fact, it happens all the time. Programming languages are constantly changing and evolving, so programmers often learn others (its easy after the first). Plus some programming languages are better at specific jobs than others, so a programmer at that age might have to go learn another language for a task or a role in a company. You can learn at any age, as long as you're willing!

4. can someone from non-science background can learn and make career in software development?
a. Yes of course. You do not need any sort of background to learn programming. The only thing you'll want to know is basic math skills. You'll be surprised to find that after you start learning how to program, that you'll want to learn more math formulas, because you'll want to make more complex programs. It's crazy, right?

If you're nervous about learning your first programming language, I would try with a high level language like "Python" or "Ruby" to easily help you grasp the fundamentals that make up almost every programming language. Then, work your way to others, depending what you want to be (software developer, OS dev, etc).

Answer 2

As long as you have a brain to remember that stuff, you can code, no matter the age.

Buuuuuuut... learn to code is completely different than build your career at 35/40 years and without previous experience... and despite i'd like to say: "yes, you can", in the real world things could be different.

Take a look here, SimpleProgrammer made some videos related to, he is a professional and should be know what he saying:

All the best.

Answer 3

Any age! I have seen people younger than 10 and people mid aged to even older start coding! It doesn't matter what age you are, as long as you have a passion for programming! Good luck in your journey. 🖒
