People say that learning to code is a very useful skill. What does it mean exactly?
I can do data analysis and visualization in python and R. Does that mean I can code? Or does coding mean full stack developers?
Is coding a general umbrella term for all types of programming (including excel)?
In: Technology
A computer can’t do anything unless it is told what to do. Computers understand certain languages, though, and people can learn to write in those languages.
A “Coder” types sentences, just like you and me, but they are writing sentences that have different symbols and are written in a very specific way that can be understood by a computer.
The lines of code are sometimes called “scripts”.
Learning to code normally means learning to write script in a certain language of your choosing, based on learning what languages work best for what type of job you want to do.
EDIT: being able to execute basic commands to pull up a table or query SQL is generally just considered basic knowledge.
Writing code would be how you would put a new feature into play. And “full stack” is typically just the term for writing front-end AND back-end, and yes, the coders are scripting within the full stack environment.
No, Excel isn’t really considered coding unless you are doing Visual Basic type macros, and that’s like kindergarten to Java or python’s college.
