From biology to coding
If you are a biologist who has had little programming or modelling experience, and are intending to learn to code, it may feel like this: Here are a two big questions that may be on your mind: 1. How much mathematics do I need? Apart from basic arithmetic (+,-,*,/,%) and logic(AND, OR, NOT), you do not need more mathematics to begin to learn coding. 2. How much computer science theory do I need? Apart from a little general knowledge about computers and the internet, you do not need anything else. Most introductory books on programming contain a chapter on all that you need to know. If you are an experimental biologist considering transition to purely "dry lab" work, then, feel free to post any questions you have as a comment. If you transitioned successfully from experimental biology to bioinformatics or computational biology, please share your two cents as a comment.
