What is the best Programming language to learn first?

of course python

 

And WHY would we want to play with snakes?

 

I learnt Javascript first, that was the first language I learnt in programming school and it has helped me a ton in online marketing. But I'd say follow your interest. I know some people that started with LISP or PERL as their first language.

 

To learn as a hobby I would start with Python.

For a professional goal, you have to first define your professional goal

 

Python is always recommended which is the best programming language, if you're looking for an easy and even fun programming language to learn first.

 

Python is easy to debug, which should be first thing to work on in order to understand programming and it has lots of libraries. Unfortunately making an interface is a bit difficult, maybe if you use WEB py-script front end could make it easier. I use Pycharm as developing tool.

 

some popular options and why they might be a good fit for beginners:
For Simplicity and Versatility:

• Python: Often recommended for beginners due to its clear, readable syntax and focus on simplicity. It's widely used in web development, data analysis, and machine learning.

For Web Development:

• JavaScript: The foundation for interactive elements on web pages. Learning JavaScript opens doors to front-end web development and can be a stepping stone to back-end languages like Node.js.
• HTML & CSS: Not technically programming languages, but essential for web development. HTML structures the content of a web page, while CSS styles its appearance. Learning them first provides a strong foundation for web development.

For Object-Oriented Programming:

• Java: A widely used, general-purpose language with a large community and abundant resources. Learning Java teaches you object-oriented programming concepts applicable to many other languages.

Other Factors to Consider:

• Your Interests: Are you drawn to web development, data science, game development, or something else? Choose a language commonly used in your area of interest.
• Available Resources: Consider the availability of online tutorials, courses, and communities for your chosen language.

 

First ask yourself what you want to be, because then you will be interested. If you're a beginner, I'd suggest learning Python or JavaScript, as both have a lot of scope and are easy. One more advice I would like to give is to make yourself an expert in whatever you choose. I wasted 8 years of my life in this cycle that I should learn this, I should learn that, and I didn't learn anything, but when I started learning Python full time, I master the Python in just one year.

 

I also vote Python, because it's often considered the best programming language to learn first due to its simplicity, readability, and versatility across various applications.

 

Javascript is the most used language and most fun

 

For beginners, Python is highly recommended. Its clear syntax and readability make it easy to learn and understand. Python is versatile and widely used in various fields like web development, data science, and automation, which means learning it opens up many opportunities. Plus, there's a wealth of resources and a supportive community to help you get started.

 

Hey, I'm happy that after more than 10 years n after 6 years replying to ur thread lol,

I can login to this forum again. I learned my first programming languages, C++ and C#. At first, I thought they were just regular syntax, so it was only for simple automation needs at that time

 

Best lang is Javascript
1) Frontend - vanilla, jquery, react, vue, etc
2) Backend - node js (next, nuxt, nest, express, fastify, etc)
3) Mobile apps - react native
Fullstack in just one syntax
