What is Solidity?
For those of you who don't know, Solidity is the code (programming language) that is used on Ethereum for Ethereum contracts. Surprisingly, there are estimated to be less than 5000 programmers who can even program in solidity, and those who can are millionaires. In fact, in one of Crypt0's recent video's "May be this video or another one in this format), they talk about the demanding need for programmers.
How Do I learn it?
Don't get frightened when I mention the word programming. Although it may look tough and challenging, with enough practice, anyone can do it. There are 2 main routes you can go down when learning this language:
1)Learn JavaScript First
This is easily the longer of the two paths. The good news with this path is you will build your foundation and there is no lack of material. The bad news is it will take you more time to get your hands dirty. I would recommend either using youtube/google for beginner java script tutorials, or you can find cheap books on amazon for $10 or less.
2)Learn By Doing
This method can be more challenging for those without experience, but the quicker path to those with experience. All you have to do is google your favorite Ethereum contract + Solidity (example Golem Solidity Code). All of it is open source and you can easily learn by example.

In Summation, For those of you who decide to take up this trade, and for the few of those who actually make it big, feel free and bookmark this page and remember the one who got you into this field. My Ethereum Public Address is below, so feel free and kick back $70,000 worth of Ethereum so I can pay off my Student Loans :p ( seriously though, that would be awesome).
