I've cofunded my own startup, so I don't know if this is a useful answer to you. During the first days of our company, my co-founder and I used to do everything: coding, preparing content, teaching, marketing, sales. Everything. As we grew a little bit over the last year, we've had to specialize on different things and stop doing everything both of us. I've taking the lead on the "product management" part so I started researching about it. I'm a programmer by training, so I kind of went looking for "product management courses". To be honest, if you're a developer, there's nothing you need to learn. I emailed an old product manager that led a project I worked for and asked him for advice (he's a great product manager with a ton of experience). His answer was kind of: "you don't need to learn anything special: the key is to stick to the basic principles that you already know". For me, a good product manager is a ruthless, constant person. If you compare it to Football, it's not the guy that shines 1 match and then is hidden for two. It's the guy that constantly delivers. You have to wake up every morning and analyze what needs to be done, prioritize it, talk to your engineers, talk to C-level, and repeat. Over and over again. I don't know what everyone else think, but being a programmer is a great background to become a good product manager. I've been coding for over 8 years and now, whenever we're discussing a feature or issue, it takes minutes to understand how much it implies (in time, resources, etc).
