The fastest way to go from a non-coder to getting a coding job
Welcome back! Being a programmer is one of the best/most lucrative careers anyone could have, although it has its shortcomings, it’s still a really good market to get into. If you’re a new coder you may be asking yourself “what is the fastest way to get a coding job?”, although there's no perfect answer for everyone, this is essentially the process I would recommend any average person to look into, it’s nothing super crazy, you don’t have to study for 50 months straight, and you could possibly land a decent paying coding job at the end of it!
1. Find a Popular Language
This is essentially the building block of your coding career, the programming language you start with could change the trajectory of your career. First off, you want to ask yourself “what type of coder do I want to be?”, do you want to be an app developer? Do you want to build software applications? Do you want to get into machine learning? There are some programming languages out there that can do a better job at a task than others, I would recommend you to figure out which language you want to start off with for your specific task.
