What programming languages do I need to learn?

[The Writer]

Hi
I want to start my learning journey in web development and web design, so for gurus here, what programming languages do I need for each one of them?

Learn first html -isn't programming language - but you need to understand it ,2 weeks is enough for html .
Now for programming pick only one language like php , python ...etc
My advice pick C# programming, you could do anything with it , desktop software using winforms/wpf framework, web using asp.net framework , mobile app using xamarin framework

 

[tompots]

html, css, javascript, php are a good start for web development

They both given good answers.

But If I need to learn anything at the moment I'd learn Swift (for iOS apps)

Haha sorry I have a question (and you seem to know what you are talking about)

I want to learn programming in order to create Windows based bots (like Instagram bot etc) and after I want to create android apps. Which languages would you suggest me ? I have seen a lot of talk about C# but I dont know what to choose.

 

[Ernestismyname]

C# hands down for programming.
If you want to design websites the HTML and CSS.

Since you're a beginner, I recommend that after you learn the basics (html, css, Javascript) after these learn databases then learn (python -> flask -> django) or (php -> laravel/Symphony)

Python is very easy to learn so I recommend you go the python route then learn the flask framework. After learning flask you should learn django which makes everything in flask easier... Why do the harder one first? Because it's better to have an understanding of how everything works.

Ps: You could also learn nodejs instead of python/php but that's not recommended for a beginner...neither is C. You can learn these after you've gained some web dev knowledge.

For web development, start with html/css, javascript, and either PHP or Python (for backend). If you plan on working with Wordpress in any capacity, then I'd go with PHP rather than Python. It would also be very beneficial to learn how to work with databases, so also consider picking up SQL.

If you want to be web developer or web designer then you MUST understand html, css, javascript, php, and mysql database. All big platform are built using those technology, like wordpress, joomla, drupal, etc. All other programming language are optional.

For web dev i would say HTML/css/javascript are all a must, for programming languages it all depends what you want to do with it, but maybe python for starting is not bad. Good luck

I second this for easy of use. A baby could write php ;-)

Which is the best platform to learn these coding languages?

Here is my detailed piece of advise:

Web development and Web designing are two different things. Let me explain this to you.

Web Designing:

Web Design requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript, Photoshop or Illustrator or some other designing softwares. HTML, CSS and Javascript for analysing that whatever you are going to create is actually possible and Designing tool for designing your view or your idea. In other words we can say the main work of web designer is to design the sketch or website this can be considered under UI designing.


WEB DEVELOPMENT:

Web Development requires knowledge of hell lot of thing and some important things of which are HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT and PHP along with Mysql. You can go with Python and Django instead of PHP but I will recommend PHP. If you know all of these you can consider yourself a newbie web developer and you got to learn hell lot of things in the way. And only PHP, Javascript and Python are programming languages in this journey.


So if you want to build apps for android then I would recommend you to go with Java and for iOS apps go for swift but you need a mac for this. And if you want to build for windows go for c#

You can ask me furthur questions related to this topic.

JAVA is the easiest in my opinion so far. On average you can earn more. A lot of free tutorials out there and amazing books.

Best platform depends on you how much you want to learn. If you have an Internet connection there are tonns of free resources available online which can help you in your web development journey. I myself is an iOS and Web Developer but I never attended any bootcamp or anything. So search on internet and you will find a lot of things. Just some from me Udacity, edex, Torrents, W3schools.com and others.

JAVA is the easiest in my opinion so far. On average you can earn more. A lot of free tutorials out there and amazing books.

But you need more than six months for learning core and advanced Java, And Java will not help you in web development.

 

[iplaynaked]

python is super easy

 

[Sonam Makhija]

Ok thank you. I will try looking for online resources

 

[Abhioberoi]

Haha sorry I have a question (and you seem to know what you are talking about)

I want to learn programming in order to create Windows based bots (like Instagram bot etc) and after I want to create android apps. Which languages would you suggest me ? I have seen a lot of talk about C# but I dont know what to choose.

You can go for python. Using python you can develop windows apps, you can develop android apps and you can also step into web development. Python is the easiest and fastest growing language and you can easily create windows bot in that language. If you really want to be only windows specific then C# but this will not take you a long way.

I am a digital marketer by profession. Have lot of free time to learn. My question also is does it make sense for a digital person to learn coding. If yes which one which can directly help in my profession
