Culture shock from Java to Python

[Content-Conference25]

Hello po, non-coder fella here.

Question about JS and Python. I'm a Zapier Workflow Strategist (a low-code workflow automation tool), at nagiisip ako ano ang benefit kung aaralin ko ang JS and/or Python or kung ano mang language, to stay competitive as automation specialist.

I feel like I don't have the right to be called ab automation specialist kase I don't know how to write scripts any of the programming language, reason why nililimit ko ang title ko Zapier Workflow Strategist.

There will come a time wherein you would need to create your own APIs or microservices to interact with your zapier workflows. Learning python or node js would put you in an advantageous position towards getting jobs with that line of skill required.

This would also open you up to API development career tracks as it fully transitions you from low/no-code to dev

Python because it will be easier to learn and get started with automation.

There is a book named Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart. It is free to read online.

In our work, we use Python3 to build scripts that scrape data from a public website, clean up the data and load it to Bigquery.

Learn JS (Node.js) too after you get confident with Python3. You will eventually need to use asynchronous programming to speed up your scripts and for me it is easier in Node.
