With NO knowledge/experience, can you get into the coding/programming industry?

[GPBear]

you can teach yourself python, there's a lot of youtube videos out there.
it's just a question of how much you want to be able to do.

My advice is to keep your investment low and only purchase hardware/software if necessary (this actually carries over into a good rule when interviewing, most systems start small then scale based on demand and necessity). No need to break the bank here, spin up a few AWS/GCP/Azure free-tier instances for everything and go to town. Heavy competition between the leading cloud platforms means these companies are basically BEGGING you to sign up and learn their products. Take full advantage.

aws.amazon.com
cloud.google.com
azure.microsoft.com

Spend 21-days or so on networking, then 21-days on storage, then on databases, then on security. Use your spare time to really research the sectors and figure out what you like.

If you hit a point where you need to invest in hardware, hit me then sir.

Again, thank you

I was able to get my first programming job this past September with no prior coding experience (Sr. Business Analyst). The key is to show them that you have an general understanding of the language needed for the job (SQL for my case) and have a manager who is willing to help you improve. I was able to find a company who was expanding into a different space and needed people who already had the knowledge. In my case, I already had over 10 years of experience in the industry so the only issue would be making sure that I improve over time with SQL while creating multiple reports for various levels of management and external clients. If I was you, pick a language that interest you, take time to learn it and showcase your skills on Github and apply for entry level programming job that are within your current field so that your experience may offset you lack of programming skills. Everything that is worth while is going to take time, but once you are in you should be set if you keep learning and get better.

What the bare minimum for SQL that someone getting in needs to know. I hear different things from different people

It will be easier for someone with experience, a degree, or training from a respected bootcamp (hack reactor used to be one..not sure anymore).....but it can be done.

And I've been involved in hirings where we've brought on developers with no degrees or what you'd consider traditional experience (portfolio, few projects on Github). We even hired someone with no high school diploma.

It depends on what job that you are looking for. For my role, I just have to create reports in the databases using SQL. I learned how to write on my own and put some stuff on GitHub for a hiring manager to see it. If you trying to get into a job involved SQL, just learning how to write the basics, use joins and go from there.

More Tech talk and less Thot talk

In a word, no.

Someone could, but that someone would have to become completely dedicated to the craft. And even then, they would be competing against others who have years of experience / head start.

You could go for it, but you'd be competing for the same jobs against people who went to Stanford and MIT, in a field where credentials matter.

OG, would you compare mastering coding/programing to mastering Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerBi?

Is one harder than the other?

Bro... I'm starting to feel like you have no idea of what the concept of programming is.

How hard it is to get a manual q/a job, with no tech experience?

Here are some jobs that don’t require you to code to begin in tech.


This girl did it and now works for Google without a CS degree.

@UpAndComing has no idea about anything. He likes to pretend he does though.

You misunderstand. I'm not trying to clown you. I'm trying to let you know that if you're comparing learning a programming language to learning excel or powerpoint, that's not even a valid comparison.

It's like comparing a banana to a bicycle.
