Why code as opposed to novels? And what are you looking for? Some suggestions on how to get into coding, or ways to improve your coding?

No, he's looking for a bridge between his ability to write and his ability to code.

Any of the writers in this community have advice to give to this fellow?

I love coding. I just get distracted sometimes. For example, I've had a ridiculously productive morning. It's already 11:15 and I've squashed a killer bug. But, it'd probably have been twice as productive if I weren't reading/writing on the Internets on the side.
