I'd agree. When I started at my current job (my first real programming job, other than what I did when trying to learn), I knew very little of HTML, JavaScript, or any other language, really. In the year and a half since I've been here, I've learned quite a bit, becoming (in my humble opinion ;) ) one of our best coders, and if you're dedicated to learning and succeeding, you really can't go wrong. Like the poster above me, just go for it and try.

My first ever DVCS was Mercurial, using it on both Windows and Mac. I recently (last two months or so) switched to git, to try it, and due to what seemed to me overwhelming use for the projects I saw across the web.

But, git felt weird. I don't know how to explain it other than that, but reading Python's decision to go with Mercurial just seemed to reinforce that to me. So I've switched back.
