Programming Self Taught

No really self taught.  Self taught is from books.  Now I have internet, youtube and search engine.  Still it can be challenging as there is no experienced person to ask questions and get instructions to solve the issue.  I have go search and look for answers.  It is quite tedious and running through the video and internet takes a lot of time.  Have to go through irrelevant info.  It is frustratingly slow and painful.
