Best path to become system administrator? Should i learn to code?

Answer 1

@Parvin
That depends on the system he's going to administrate. If he's going to administrate a Linux system (which is what is usually implied), I don't think anyone doubts the fact that learning Linux is important.
As for programming languages: Bash, Perl, Python, C, C++ should cover pretty much all of your needs.
