I recent got started for the QA department for my company which is a website and I was looking for a little guidance in order to do my job better.
Right now the tools I use are my eyes and ears, and the basic functionality of jmeter. There are lots of components of the software that are way over my head. I realize there is a lot more that I should be learning but I don't know where to start. My programming skills are at the novice level at best, I haven't done actual programming for some time. Therefore I'm not sure what computer language I should try to learn first. My company's applications are made primary using Ruby so would it be wise to learn that language? On the other hand Python has also been suggested to me by my supervisor even though some of the engineers aren't sure that is the best way to go. Or should I avoid languages and point my learning in another direction In addition are there any good websites, books or other media that I should be reading and following. I'm not sure if this is my final career but it will be for the time to come. Any help would be greatly appreciated Josh Feldman
