I am interested in getting a 2nd education in the field of programming.

Please share an inside view: what are the basics to collect in this direction?

For an "easy start" start with testing, then as a developer?

I would be grateful for the information.

Learning programming for a programmer is a secondary matter.
To study the structure of the eye for an ophthalmologist is a secondary matter.
Learning driving for a taxi driver is a secondary matter.
Got the irony?

In theory, even at the 1st education in the field of programming, you should have collected all the basics. If you have not collected, it makes no sense for you to "receive" a second education. They don't give you education, you take education. And if you already have a first education and you didn’t understand anything at the same time, then you didn’t receive it, but listened to it and threw it away. And you have to sit and gnaw at the granite of science.

Testing and development are related professions, and EACH of them can take a lot of time.
Testing is not an easy start for a long time.

If you are getting an education for the sake of academic interest, for example, you are interested in the theory of compilers, then learning languages is secondary.
If you want to earn money, then you will be paid for practical skills. You can't do without programming languages here.

A programming language is a tool, without it there is no way. Any programming training is always built around some language, sometimes real (C++, Java, C#, Assembler, etc.), sometimes invented to simplify explanations.
It can be called a secondary language, taking into account the fact that the language, in principle, is quite easy to change if there is knowledge of the rest - first of all, algorithms, logic, etc. But without knowledge of at least one language, there is nothing to do in programming.

Yes, yes, but in writing poems, the secondary is the study of the alphabet.

PL is God forbid 10% of the developer's knowledge, so in general this is true.

start with testing, then as a developer?

How is it connected at all?

For an easy start

Easy and IT? Are you out of your mind?

What is the first education?
You can find examples when people who had a need and a strong desire to automate something in their first area of activity became good programmers / admins / BigData analysts. For example, in biology, chemistry, physics, statistics (sociology). They had motivation. And in the beginning, programming / computers were just a tool to achieve the goal. Some of them then move into IT almost completely or start living in adjacent environments.
Those. I believe that an "easy start" is when there is an achievable goal and motivation, which are achieved by development in programming / Linux administration / building neural networks, etc.
But if the first education and area of activity is "management of nothing", selling your own exhaust or advertising gaskets, then I don't think that this will be an advantage.
Although even here motivation is possible: You just need to REALLY want money and be sincerely convinced that coding and testing will allow you to get it.
