What computer skills should I learn?

Some of the most important computer skills to learn include the following:

Operating systems (Windows and MacOS)
Office suites (Microsoft Office, G Suite)
Presentation software (PowerPoint, Keynote)
Spreadsheets (Excel, Google Spreadsheets, etc.)
Communication and collaboration tools (Slack, Skype, etc.)

Is coding a lot of math?

Programming doesn’t require as much math as you might think. You probably already have the necessary skills. It’s far more important to understand the concepts of math that give coding its foundations. Often, you may not even be writing code that uses math.

Do you need to know calculus to code?

Programmers in general do not need to learn calculus, but discrete mathematics is absolutely essential. The two most fundamental things to know in discrete mathematics for programmers are Boolean algebra and some basic graph theory.

Do I need to be good at math for coding?

Math is also necessary to understand algorithms complexity, but you are not going to invent new algorithms, at least in the first few years of programming. Of course you need some basic math concepts, like calculus or algebra, or logic, but the very basics if it.

What’s the difference between coding and programming?

Coding is a part of programming that deals with converting the language into binary commands for the machine. Programming is the process of creating a program that follows certain standards and performing a certain task.

Can everyone become a programmer?

Anyone can become a programmer. Not everyone can become a GOOD programmer, or even a competent one. Even fewer can become an exceptional programmer. It’s not just practice.
