You could probably get away with not knowing how to code, but even an elementary understanding helps you to know what is and isn't possible. Spend a week or two getting the fundamentals of programming (even if you won't be able to program very well at the end of that time), and you'll be in a much better place.
Try Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Python. It's free online, and python is one of the better introductory languages: http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
Aside from that, search stackoverflow for variations of your question - it's been answered lots before!
- telemachos 15y ago>> Try Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Python. I have to disagree with the book choice - for this case. The first sentence on the main site for the book[1]: >> Dive Into Python is a Python book for experienced programmers. It might be a great book, but not for someone who knows nothing about programming. [1] http://diveintopython.org/ http://diveintopython.org/
- a_bad_dream 15y agoTrue, my mistake ... I've done a python class at school and consider myself a beginner, so I never noticed the split. What book would you recommend instead?
- gte910h 15y agoIt's not even that good anymore for python. Does several thing "unidomatically" now according to Mark Pilgrim himself.
