There is nothing special about software development in terms of a career. You learn it like you learn anything else. Some people have a natural aptitude, some people will never get it, most are in the middle: capable of becoming competent developers.
I mean, 90% of development these days is knowing what parts to glue together and where to get the parts. You're converting business rules into code: for the most part, it's really not that hard.
Want to help your friends get into software and don't know what to say? Tell them to go for it. Let them decide if they like doing it.
