Hello,

I have been a certified admin for almost a year now and want to take the next step and learn to be a Salesforce developer. I'm concerned though since I've never written a line of code in my life and have no dev. experience.

In reading some of the Developer 1 trailhead modules, it seems like they already expect you to have development experience before you take the trailheads. My question is this:

Can you learn to be an SF developer from nothing else but the trailhead modules or do you realistically need to learn to program before you start them to have any frame of reference? If the ladder is true, which programming language(s) do I need to learn? I'm kind of lost.

Please help.
Thanks.
