So You’re A Lawyer Who Wants to Learn to Code? Well, Which Language Should You Learn?

I often hear that lawyers want to learn coding. I have also heard that a lawyer who learns to learn the code urged others to follow the lawsuit. It is said that even basic skills of a 21st century lawyer can become a better lawyer by learning coding. You may quit your lawyer and write your code in full time.

However, once you decide to learn coding, you can learn a lot of coding languages. Where do you start?

I mentioned this issue to Twitterverse. This is some of the answers I received. (The first comment is not an embedded tweet but an image.SamHarden is locking the Twitter account so that I can not embed my tweet.)

Sounds silly but it is JavaScript. You can share many functions with other languages ​​and you can easily see the results with a web browser. Not installed

Bob, you should try to talk to @ burritofanatic, he left his legal profession to write the code. This is his #LegalTechLives https://t.co/7UAgEPyuZi

What do your friends and colleagues use? Learning the language that other people use to help you is very useful.

Html / css / javascript. These days will make you advance further. I started doing this, then Ruby. But first of all we must explicitly recommend these basics.

@ bobambrogi I agree with Python as the primary language. Have an excellent natural language processing tool / library; syntax is obvious

Lawyer @ twneale started using Python and still uses it. But it is easy to get the law - be careful what you want!

I do not like it, JavaScript (which does not fit my workflow), with instant satisfaction and a visual interface, everywhere

Behind this article is @ ac06870. # I explained coding. Does the reaction also depend on what you want to do against it?

It depends on Ruby, Python, Javascript, and HTML use cases. In other words, this is a professional professional.

I started using Fortran, and it should be enough for everyone if that is enough for me. It is JK Python. Simple grammar and scalable data analysis and ML technology

Furthermore, it is easy to find a use case for learning JS from designing and adjusting Web sites to engines and automation.

I soon discovered python (a bit of a fierce research this week) and was extremely helpful in applying for a lawyer. Online resources / community is amazing

I also choose Python. Easy to upload, easy to read and maintainable code, a huge support community, and numerous excellent libraries for machine learning and other serious applications

Let's start with a good teacher. Language is not important, the concept applies to most languages. But the problem is JavaScript

Is the lawyer usually busy coding? Finding developers and creating something with your overall experience will be a better IMO

I agree with HTML It is advisable that the git (eg github) map is closest to the lawyer 's map. That is an example of cooperation. I have the most overlapping ideas

So, should we ask everyone - especially a lawyer - to learn smart contract coding languages ​​like Javascript and Solidity? There are sports (various) that require all students to learn something about at least programming in order to have better equipment to live in the modern world. Of course, as smart contracts become increasingly embedded, people will be more willing to learn writing their own codes. A few years ago when I was receiving technical support in the newspaper, I met such people everyday, but they think that computers can be turned on / off by turning on / off the computer monitor It was. I have many stories about people who use computers everyday without knowing how they work. They learned enough work. Then they will go home and do something else

As usual, Silicon Valley is brewing excessive pride. "Everyone should learn coding" was said. "Girls should learn coding." So, should only those who want to code learn to code? Nobody should learn the code, and should not learn that everyone plays French horn. If you believe that women and men are as competent as engineers, then we should respect a lot of people who choose engineering decisions. Maybe it is a little sponsored to show that women are not software engineers as she was given Barbie as a little girl to play. Women face very real gender discrimination in technology, as is the case in all corporate workplaces, but engineering is more discriminatory than gender discrimination in other traditional male dominant fields (medicine, law, etc.) I believe that. Women are welcome?
