        While you can take a programming language course and still not have a 'coding skill' because its all about practice.

        Learning computer science concepts rather than a specific language is the most useful of all. Being language agnostic is key.

        They're two very different skills. Learning a foreign language helps better understand general patterns in languages and grammar.
