What coding language should i learn?

Question

I want to learn some sort of coding language that i can use to make some useful programs but i don't know which one would be the best anyone have any ideas where i can start? I have a little bit of experience but no much.

Answer 1

I would advise that you begin with Python 3. You should get a book, either by Summerfield or Lutz,

and learn the fundamentals. You will have to learn bits and pieces of version 2 as well, but Python 2 is

just not going to be supported forever, so you may as well learn the right way to do things. It's a very

complete language.

Answer 2

I'd recommend learning Python or JavaScript. Although JavaScript is argued as not a "programming language" but a "scripting language" it will allow you to learn the concepts of programming a lot quicker than trying to learn C++ or Java right off the bat. Learn the fundamentals of programming in an easy language before you try to take on a complex language.



I do UX design and front-end development and I learned (in order) HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL, JQuery (makes writing JS faster and more compatible with browsers). While learning those I also studied ActionScript, Visual Basic, Python, C#, and C++.



Also, not relevant to your question but I also studied Design Fundaments/Principles, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash Pro.

Answer 3

I personally recommend people who are serious about programming to start with a real programming language and not a scripting language. C++ is a personal favourite and while it might be slightly harder to learn it's going to teach you more about how things really work too, it's certainly nothing wrong learning C++ as a first language and it's object oriented too. Other higher level languages are Java and C#.

Answer 4

JavaScript, not Java is a good starting point, but it sounded like you have something in mind as in some platform to program on. In that case you are railed to particular way starting with a specified language. Here's the general mappings of major languages, but if you are tasked with maintaining archaic Perl/CGI code, well I say you have my sympathy.



Android programming, Java.

Windows and Windows Phone (current), .NET family most likely C#.

Old Windows/Mobile, C/C++ or C#.NET Compact Framework for WM 5 or above.

iOS or Mac, Objective-C with Apple-dictated environment of Xcode on Mac.

Web, JavaScript/CSS/HTML.



With Java being most versatile and Objective-C being an eccentric choice that might fade away as soon as iPhone is no longer "the" device.

Answer 5

If you are really serious about this then you could start learning C++, but that is a very difficult language. I Recommend you learn Java (used to make minecraft btw), and then when your familiar with it you could move on to C++. If your interested in making games, and are a beginner, you should check out GameMaker: Studio by YoYo Games, which can be a great introduction to Programming.

Answer 6

If you have proper knowledge about html then you should learn C++, Cshop, SQL, and PHP are all top languages to learn. If you want to learn it online, then Code academy and W3Schools are the best sources.

Answer 7

first you learn some basic language like C,C++, then you learn high level language

Answer 8

Depends on your learning skills and your way of language like



you have knowledge of HTML and you can learn CSS ,Saas

you have Knowledge of Java you can learn Android

you have Knowledge of Android you can learn IOS



Only focus on one way and learn their all part with future language.



Choose which is best for your and your career .



Thanks best of luck!!!!
