Thank you for your response even after the AMA was schedule to be over! I appreciate that very much!

I think it's for a mixture of reasons. 1)C# and Java are the two enterprise level languages that a lot of employers are looking for. 2) Learning a concept in 1 language is almost always going to help you do the same thing in a different language. Concepts are fairly ubiquitous. 3)Learning something you aren't interested in helps to teach you perseverance. There are many libraries and tools that are not fun to use in a corporate environment, if you don't have the ability to learn something you don't enjoy (or isn't pretty), then you are doing a disservice as a programmer. That's my take on it anyway.

Free code camp is the most complete course on javascript i have found on the internet to date, i wanted to thank you for that. My questions are: What are the hurdles do you think a developer without a degree would have to cross that a developer with a degree wouldn't need to address? Or vice versa.
