A 37-year-old wanting to learn computer science

5 July 2025 The title says it. I am a 37-year-old wanting to learn computer science.

I know that the field is very vast and even a decade might be a small dip - but I really want to learn how to design APIs, build databases, play around with operating systems, learn about networking, write drivers for custom built devices, design and build good custom applications for my family and community, and so much more. A product (hardware or software) that solves either a niche or a common problem - and around which I can build some kind of revenue model to sustain myself. A community of adults which reads and uses children’s picture books as a medium to talk about complex psychological, social and emotional issues.
