I've run a SaaS company for far too long without a good understanding of the technical side of things. I'm looking to catch up on that and develop an understanding of how things are structured and what's possible from our tech team.<p>I'm not necessarily looking to actually code anything myself (at least for our company) but while doing research before posting this I found some intro stuff that had me doing basic things in a few minutes that was kinda fun.<p>This article, for example, gave me a better understanding of how everything is organized: http://viniciusvacanti.com/2010/11/01/6-things-you-need-to-learn-to-build-your-own-prototype/<p>Thanks!
Please don't misunderstand when I say this: your own tech team is best positioned to help you with this. Be humble/open throughout the whole process. Maybe start with the junior most dev and move on/up. Pretend you're a noob tech intern. It is up to you how deep you want to go based on what you learn from them, you can always ask for books/articles to educate yourself better on specific areas.
