My first reaction would be : a lifetime
But in all seriousness at least a few years to see enough problems and to make enough mistakes
One month is only enough to scratch the surface
But i can assure you it is worth it to persevere - it can be a very rewarding experience

Q for mortals is a good free resource. From a java background I would say a month is too short. It will probably take that long just to flush the idea of using for loops out of the system :-) I would say 3-6 months before you’re starting to somewhat competently solve real world problems. However a lot longer still if you are aspiring to “God of Q” status
