Non-technical business guy here, I'm currently learning PHP, I've watched screencasts (Lynda)and I'm now going through PHP 101: for absolute beginners (http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627. I'm starting to understand what's going on but, still have a loooooong way to go. Regardless of that, my question to everyone at HN is:How long did it take you to reach your "ah-ha" moment when you first learned how to program? And how/what did you get to that point?
P.S. Would love to hear some exercises you did to apply what you were learning.
