How long it takes to learn Corona

Hello

My name is Binh. I’m a first year Business student. My major is International Business which has nothing to do with programming.

However, I have an idea (or some ideas) about a Game Application for Android or Iphone. I have so technical skill to develop the game at all. Many people suggest me Corona SDK.

I wonder how long it takes to learn to use Corona SDK to a person without any experience like me. Of course it depends on how many hours people spend a day, give me your advice (2, 3, 4 hours)

Thanks

IF 14 year old Robert Nay could do it then so can you. He may be a better person to ask. i believe he developed bubble ball in a couple of months. [import]uid: 27671 topic_id: 9243 reply_id: 33958[/import]

Thanks. I got a lot of answer here. It helps me a lot. I did ask Nay but he never replied I think he is too busy with his start- up.

By the way, when I launch Corona in my computer, it requires the Email and Password. I used my Account in Corona forum but It didnot work. Anyone knows why?

Your email and password from the forum should work in Corona SDK. Others who reported this problem found out that malware on there system or firewall settings was blocking Corona and other programs from the internet. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 9243 reply_id: 34013[/import]
