1C

Gentlemen, what is the fastest and easiest way to become a 1C programmer, being a multi-station programmer?

In general, share your personal experience and opinion.
Yes, I forgot important information - to do this as a boy of 40 years old.

Answer 1

If you are completely unfamiliar with 1s, there is a free course Programming in 1s in 21 days. He will give you a general understanding. It is not necessary to obtain certificates at the first stage. Some franchisee firms recruit employees without knowledge of 1c, but who know programming in other languages.

Answer 2

Sit down and write your application in 1C.
ps:
as they say, take a big loan. This will spur you to action.

Answer 3

I signed up for the courses "Programming in 1s for beginners", 20 academic hours. Now I understand that it was possible not to study, but to buy a book and do assignments on it. After you understand what's what (what directories, savings registers and other crap are for), try to create your simplest configuration. To help educational configuration with demo data.
Before learning 1c, I only knew how to move the size of forms and get new users. My training took 5 days for 3 hours. For a couple of days at home, I tried to do something according to the book.
A week later, I was already doing new documents, simple reports, and all sorts of things that were incomprehensible before, became clear and now it’s not so scary. Gave me useless evidence.
I am 35, before and now I am mainly engaged in Bitrix and everything applied to it.
With age, such classes are more difficult, but what now - to put an end to yourself? And clients don't care who will give them a report that should have been done a year ago - a 20-year-old boy or a 40-year-old man. The main thing is to delve into the essence of the tasks and intricacies of the business.
I bought books on 1C (electronic pdf for 100, 200 rubles) at LitRes, I skim through from time to time. I downloaded training configurations on the Internet.
