A little about Vladimir
Vladimir, 50 years old, Irkutsk
For many years I worked as a warehouse manager uk email database in different companies. It was understandable to me, it gave me stability, but at some point I began to feel like I was marking time. Years passed, and life seemed to be stuck on repeat: the same tasks, the same programs, the same routines.
Then, about two years ago, I started thinking about programming. It seemed like this area had always attracted me: creating new solutions, automating processes - it seemed interesting. And, of course, the salaries.
But I immediately dismissed this thought - how can a person without experience and specific knowledge, especially at my age, cope with this? Yo
ung people now learn complex languages, technologies change every minute, and I don’t even really know English.
These thoughts only added to the sadness, and for some time I tried to suppress the desire to move to another field. And colleagues said that at my age it was too late to change jobs. But the feeling that I was missing something important remained.
Programming in Russian
And then I came across an article about 1C development. It turned out that this was also programming, but with a clear entry point: everything was in Russian, and my experience with 1C could be an advantage. I started reading more, studying all the open sources, and something inside me came to life. Hope appeared: what if this is it? What if I can handle it?
A stable job is not only a habit, but also a comfort zone. It was difficult to leave it.
But the thought of programming did not give me peace. Deep down, I always envied those who can create something from scratch, come up with an algorithm, automate a complex process. It seemed that these people live in another world - dynamic, modern, where they are always in demand.
I encouraged myself as best I could: after all, working in a warehouse, I already understood how businesses use 1C, and I felt that I could quickly understand the program’s capabilities.
Course for adults?
Once the decision was made, I had to face the choice of course. Frankly, the old fears and questions came back again. Most of all, I was afraid that I would waste my time and return to what was, but with great losses.
It was critical for me that the course was understandable, with accessible explanations and without unnecessary complications. I was not looking for some kind of super-new discoveries or continuous night marathons on coding. I needed something that would help me quickly and without stress get comfortable, start understanding how to program in 1C and at the same time not be abandoned to the mercy of fate.
And when I came across Zerocoder, the stars aligned: they offered not only training, but also real help with finding a job.
The university attracted me with its practical approach. Everything here has a clear result: real tasks, live webinars and support from curators at every stage.
I especially liked that the course was aimed at beginners: you could start from the very basics, even if you had never written a line of code before.
