GIS Analyst to GIS Developer

Hi everyone, I am currently a GIS Analyst and would like to transition into becoming a GIS Developer. I do not have a coding back ground but I am willing to learn. I am in my late 20s and have worked as an analyst straight out of college for the last 3 years. I am currently enrolled in Harvard's CS50 course as a base to help me learn and understand the basics of coding. I know this is a pretty niche question and situation but any advice or help would be very much appreciated.
