Hey guys.

I'm an internet marketer not a programmer but wanted to learn a bit of the other side.
I've been challenging myself this year and decided to spend roughly 2-4 hours a day learning a language for programming. I chose Javascript so far I've learned about the basics such as functions and methods, variables, objects, for loops, if/elses etc... pretty much the basics. I feel comfortable with it.

Now the question is before I get too deep with Javascript - is there any other languages you guys would recommend? I really like automation via Internet Marketing but I think I will also like development for possibly games. Or what do you guys think is the best language that can cover a lot of different areas (like a base). I've heard javascript is the one but just want to make sure. :)!

Just doing this for a funzies pretty much as I'm pretty young and I think it's good to keep learning different skills and try to find a passion.
 
I recommend Python, it's very easy to use and have the best futur technology in with it : Machine Learning
Maybe JavaScript if you are deep enough
And Java is another language I would recommend. EDIT : The best language for games
The 3 depends on what you want to do at the end
 
Go with assembly :D

Just kidding, il recommend for start c# destkop apps
Its easy can create interface with drag and drop
and once you learn that language u can pretty much learn any other programming language without any bigger problems.
 
depends what you want to build first, for automation and scraping you can learn Python,
all programming languages are similar, when you master the basics, you can pick any one start working with it, and the transition from one to another will be easier,

Ah okay good to know they are all somewhat similar haha.
Okay awesome thank you and thanks everyone.

Seeing a lot of Python so pretty cool.
 
One of my 2020 goals is getting into Python as well, purely for the sake of automatization & Data Analyses.

If anyone knows good Youtubers or Udemy courses, feel free to let me know. :)
 
Need to learn one too, what is the best language if you aim to work as a freelance with it ? i heard that react + react native ( javascript ) is a great choice, but i think i love python more, it's more wide ranged language and used in everything, but what is the best thing you can do with python if you wanna be a freelance with it ? like automation ? web design ? etc..
 
thats a good question actually. for the programmers here who know Python - how can u translate it to money? just writing code or actually using it on IM? for what purpose?
[ i have no idea im trying to figure out how useful it is for my goals]
 
In my oppinion modern javascript or even better typescript is the language that will dominate the near future.
1) You can make simple websites interactive (jquery)
2) You can build complete web applications that replace desktop apps (react.js, vue, angular, graphql)
3) You can build backends that easily can handle thousands of users (nodejs, expressjs, graphql)
4) You can build mobile apps (react native, cordova)
5) You can build 2d Games (pixi.js, phaser js) or even complete 3d games (three.js, babylon.js)
6) You can pack your webapplication as a desktop app (electron.js)
7) You can automate your browser (puppeteer)
8) You can create browser extensions

That makes javascript/typescript the most versatile language for now and the forseeable future.

Other languages that are good in specific purposes:
machine learning: python
- to get into ml you have to have a whole lot of time and a high iq. ML is much research and trial + error with statistics and math. The programming part will only be a few lines.

- for games: c# and unity

Gonna add and say python however it does completely depend on your goals and desires. You mentioned games (which python isn't too good for, 100% there are better options) but as a base, a start into coding and also automation, python is a good choice.

Also easier to learn.
 
Learning PHP is very useful if you want to build your own custom web applications. :)
 
I don't know much about programming. But lots of my friends as of 2018 were more engaged with the one called Python. I think you should research it before drawing your conclusion.

Write software that helps your ventures make money. Examples:
  • Create bots to view/follow/respond to Instagram posts (use it for yourself or sell it)
  • Write a script to automatically create a website with pre-generated content (again, use it for yourself or sell it)
  • Program your own cloaker using browser-fingerprinting and network-sniffing (either sell that cloaker, or use it to run black hat ads)
Examples are endless, but the important thing to remember is that you're doing something that helps increase cash flow. If it doesn't, it's a nice educational activity, but it's not worth the time.

Doesn't really matter what you pick. Chose one and stick with it for a while until you understand how a programming language works. Once you understand Javascript, Python is even easier to learn. And once you understand both Python and JS, learning a third is easier than learning a second. So on and so forth.

I started out with Python, then I learned Javascript, then C++, after that I've picked up so much other shit like C/C#/Java/Elixir/Perl/Lisp/PHP/etc. and it's all basically the same.

Python is great if you want to quickly automate non-web shit, though, and all around is pretty useful (but I like bash better).
 
I think you can start from php most followed web project was writtwn on php.

so migrate from php to other language can be easy.

javascript alone isn a good choice IMHO

I guess this solves it
