I have a job opportunity in programming (as a beginner programmer). I have an overview in programming basics. The job opportunity that I have right now is related to 'embedded systems'. It's available for about 2 months. I found a good online course as an introduction to embedded systems. Here is a link to the course

I took a look at it. I guess I can finish it in less than 2 months. One of my friends told me if I show them that I can teach myself (by reading/watching videos/making a research online/forums...etc) and show them something I made like that robot head in the course, they'll accept me for the entry level programming job. I'd like to hear your opinion (experienced engineers) about the course and about programming. I'm 27, is it a good age to start a new career in embedded systems or it's difficult?
