Thanks thats a great idea for a video. But in summary I'd say even doing a short course from a UA-cam creator or something on Udemy for like 10 - 15 hours would up skill you significantly and at the very least enable you to understand better how all the parts of an application are meant to work together. It's hard to recommend a specific course because it would depend on what you are wanting to create. But if you are looking at a web app, as opposed to say a native mobile app, I am a strong fan of Node JS / React. The reason is because they are both Javascript. The alternative is you have to learn another backend language like Ruby, Java or PhP, and Javascript for the frontend. To me that's just like needing to learn an additional language for not a lot of additional benefit (for the stage I am at). Other than that prompting AI to provide insight into why it recommends certain approaches or to explain how code works together (as you may have seen in some of my videos) can be helpful to grasp how it all comes together. Hope that helps a little bit
Hi Paul, thanks for these - have you any tips for non-technical co-founders who want to understand how the technical side more
