If you do not have any computer background, try to read books and
concepts related to computer science, oops etc. It might be old
fashioned, but I think, if you learn 'C', you can learn other
languages quite easily. You can also start learning Ruby, as it is
always good to have knowledge of one scripting language. IMO, courses
might help, but there are enough online resources if you want to learn
on your own you can do that.

It's usually better to build on what you already know.
As you are already working in a company as a tester, try to gain the
knowledge of the platform which you test and start building upon that.
In this way, you will improve much faster and also have an educated
guide (the programmers in your company) to get you out of
bottlenecks. :)
(This suggestion assumes that your company does not use a technology
that you believe is outdated or have a general hatred for)

Yes. thats a good suggestion. So if you are testing application built
on Java start learning it. Also start reading about testing, there are
plenty of good sites about the subject, forums, read them.

I'd suggest working on your written communication skills.

I am not sure one may type faster this way. However I hardly could
recognize what he wrote. I don't imply that it was a problem of him or
of her, but the auditory of the question was reduced [at least] by
me ;)

Agree with you Vladimir. I tried typing in chat language to see if it
can be faster, unfortunately it was not at least for me. I think like
everything else, chat language is a skill and you have to be
proficient in it to write/understand this.
