Hi Matty,
No, there is no coding language required to learn Azure DevOps. But if you know to code it’ll be beneficial, also there is no pre-requisite required to learn Azure DevOps but to become a Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert you need to clear either AZ-104 or AZ-204 Certification as it is mandated by Microsoft.
Hope this helps.
