This is the exact path I took, and I highly recommend it. Code academy python then immediately wrote some code to scrape some websites and email me if something I wanted to buy dropped to a price I'd be willing to spend.

I'd say all in all it took 3 weeks to a month, but I've been able to not code for months at a time and still feel comfortable when I come back.

I am NOT a programmer, I am someone who can cobble something together to accomplish a specific task. I never got to the more abstract concepts you listed, but maybe one day!
