PLC/Controller programming is first low level engineering, with configuration of I/O , registers, tag names, logic. SCADA programming is also essential - you will program PLC/RTU/Controllers, gateways, network equipment, their poll rates, define and built signals database, build HMI screens, configure signals to HMI screens, test , etc.

PLC programing (ladder) is very eazy to learn and I think if some body learn it first will be more eazy to learn SCADA relative to other programing.
