Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don’t understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don’t even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what’s going on but I don’t. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I’m asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.
I’m not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven’t yet found a way to learn how to code.
There’s more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,
Why do you want to learn how to code?
Is it purely to get a better understanding of how salesforce works “under the hood”?
(I’m looking for context because I don’t know anything about salesforce but I do know how to code)
Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.
All of our other products.
Gotcha, maybe you don’t necessarily have to be a coder to understand those products better.
Simply being curious and having conversations with devs will probably get you far.
