Yes. I've been programming for 15 years now, and I would say I didn't really get to "professional" levels even though I have been a professional software engineer for many years probably until roughly 4 years ago.
Don't get discouraged, even with my skills and history I still check docs on my languages of choice daily while working. A lot goes into muscle memory but there's still other stuff you cant know all the time.
I wish I had the tools people have today back in 1999 when I started programming. Codecademy.com is a god send.
