Should I learn how to code as a content marketer? How about taking my kids to code camps or the like? What are the different levels of coding? Updating HTML: is that coding?
Felienne Hermans, Professor of Computer Science Education at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, and I unpack that topic on Episode 683 of “The Business Storytelling Show.”
Among other things, we discuss:
- What does it even entail when you learn how to code?
- Is learning how to code hard?
- Where can I learn?
- How long does it take?
- Is it a skill needed in my marketing career?
And more.

Personal reflection on how to learn to code
