No it isn't. Journalists learning to code, will only set them up for failure. Programming requires logic, mathematical, and algorithmic skills, all of which they likely don't have.
I'm intermediate in C++ right now, also tried to learn Rust and bought some books only to find out that the authors of the Rust book I just bought are fucking shitlibs (Klabnik & Nichols) and more than 90% of the Rust community and in GitHub are retarded shitlibs as well. I'm considering dropping Rust for another language but I can't decide which one. D and Haskell sound promising…

Alright, so I want to learn to code, so where do I begin? I have only the most basic IT ability. What do I do first?
