I need to have a career change as what I used to do (statistical/data analysis) doesn't suit my current situation anymore.
I think I have the right sort of brain for programming in as much as I found it easy to learn when I did beginner level basic programming years ago (at least 15 years ago) and the work I used to do was similar to programming in a logical sense. I may, however, be too old and decrepit to learn enough to be competitive and employable in the current market.
So, if I want to do something like app development where should I start from? Should I do a course in Java or some other programming language first? If so, what sort of course, one like this? Then I was thinking that I would do a course like this one, or should I do something longer and more in depth.
If I applied for a job with you what would you like to see on my cv experience-wise? Would it be enough to have done a couple of well-written apps as part of my course or do I need to do some unpaid work experience?
TIA
