Hey guys , i'd like to know your opinions about which programming language is the best to learn nowadays ?
 
JavaScript is really powerful (albeit pretty questionable when it comes to certain concepts) but can be used both in front- and backend systems.
 
HTML + CSS, if you are in this forum, I guess this is the target that suits you better :D

You should ask yourself what you want to code first before picking a language.
Do you want to create websites?
Phone apps?
 
The one that get the job done
 
Here's some stuff you should consider:
If you want to build games, C#
If you want to build iPhone apps, Swift or C++
If you want to build Android apps, Java

If you want to build a website, do you want to build only the UI (the visuals only) or the backend (logic, storing data, crunching data, etc), or the whole website?
I would say consider Javascript first, then you would need to learn how to do databases if you need to know more on storing data via MySQL or some other alternative.
 
The way I did it was to become an expert with Java, and then I can pick up any other language that I want to use without really trying at all.

Python is a solid pick, so is Java, but there's a ton of good options.

Back-end:
Python has a fairly easy and clear syntax for newbies (no semicolons, ducktyping, syntax in general not far from 'English')

Front-end:
You need javascript/html/css as a base, that is the standard stack. From there you can go into additional frameworks like Vue, React, Angular etc.

Mobile:
Java for android
Swift for ios

But as with any other sector, stuff is changing continuously. If you learn good Javascript (vanilla) you can also use that for backend in for example Node Js


Its up to you, what you want to do.
 
That depends on which field you're looking to enter. Do you want to go into web design or make apps? Maybe you want to be a software developer? Figure it out then ask Google which language is the best for you. Good luck!
 
Thanks everyone for giving your opinions about this thread , apperciated it . i'll spam the thanks button .
 
C# for gaming. Java for apps and indie gaming. HTML5 for running SNES emulators through a browser.

I, of course, have no idea how to code. I have tried a number of times from reading books to being a member @ Codecademy. In conclusion: programming is not for me.

But it's extremely painful to write and debug.

Codeacademy is not a good platform, if your just starting with coding i would recommend team tree house every single time!
