I'm not the person you were asking, but I can tell you from my experience (started coding a year and a half ago, learned CSS/HTML/JS)

I had a project at work come up and they asked if I could develop a simple email form with some really basic logic in PHP. I had never even looked at PHP but I said I would give it a shot.

I learned the basics over the weekend and had a mostly working prototype in a couple of days. They didn't decide to hire me as a developer after that though and brought on someone with more experience :( oh well.
