Lua: 2 weeks

CSS: 2 hours
Java: 2 weeks
C++/#: 2 months
Basic Unrealscripting: 3 weeks
Only important ones I can come up with right now.

C++ - 2 months, that's the biggest BS story I've ever read. I bet you wouldn't even know what smart pointers are. Lots of these timelines are unrealistic.

I haven't mastered anything yet. I'm certainly working on it though.

I would consider myself fluent at .net after about a year and a half.

I started off with Batch programming and that took me about three months to design my very first and very basic program. At three months I mixed Batch with Java and that made things a bit more difficult. But at that same time I had also dropped Batch and solely focused on Java programming. It took me a whole year to get Java down pat and completely understand it where to I could design any piece of software that a client of mine needed.

Programming takes some bit of time to learn if you're just starting out. There's a ton to learn and it's an endless process.
