Totally new to Make... want to learn what coding skills I need

What are you trying to achieve?

Hey Guys, brand new here… I recently discovered Make and I am very interested in the world of API integrations, specifically with all the new AI platforms coming out. It says “no code”, but I see having extensive coding experience is real key ingredient. My thinking is that I can do this kind of work as a business, freelancing. However, I have very little coding skills and difficulty at times with coding concepts. I would like very much to hear from some of you about where might be a good place to begin? What am I looking at realistically in terms of a learning curve? Last, are any of you successful programer/developers and you struggled with coding in the beginning as well?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Make community!

I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario.

Here are some useful links and guides to help you get started and learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules —

Thanks so much Sam! I will definitely look into it and get started.

I see you do private consultations. What do you charge?

Hi @Caleb_Bartlett,

Coding knowledge is not a prerequisite, but it will come in handy. Language-wise, it is a good idea to invest your time in learning JavaScript. It will make you help sense of programming principles and concepts that exist in Make.

There is a very good JS course on Udemy by Jonas Schmedtmann, I can highly recommend it.

And after all, time is the best teacher :wink:

Cheers,
Henk
