It is inevitable that digital marketers should be proficient in HTML and CSS.
In your work experience, which programming language you guys think its important for aspiring marketers to learn?

Some saying its JavaScript and Python.

Yeah.. Python and Javascript are definitely the best entry programming language for anybody

If you want to build back end web dev or AI or even a desktop app.. Python can do it. Heck even there is tutorial about how to make a blockchain with python

Javascript in the other hand is really versatile and with react you can build app in almost every platform without changing the source code to the native language of the OS

For me the best place to learn these things are udemy or Lynda.. Learn the basic and then move up to build simple app like calculator or translator
 
Python handles maths very well, JavaScript is good for the web. Ideally only pick one you have a specific task for. These languages evolve daily and it can be a hassle levelling up

Primarily for task automation, content scraping, data analysis (although much can be done with excel).
 
Just trying to boost my resume, trying to pick up one 1 more language: whether its javascript or python. Both are popular, and take at least 3 months to get hand-on proficiency.
I find python very intuitive, personally like it a bit more than JavaScript. But at the same time, I see a huge importance of .js, making front-end add-on's, pop-ups, count down timers, and what not.

Python! Also, PHP and client side JS. If you learn all these three languages, you are pretty much set to do anything you want to.
 
i don't do heavy stuff, just my from time to time needs, and i cover them with:

- CSS. i use it daily and i think you know that :D
- php for wordpress development, altering themes functions and adding new requested customer pages and such.
- Python. i don't do bots, merely simple scripts for i dunno like text extraction, text generation for when i want to spam and so on.

for some reason i dislike js, yeah i do consider myself a web dev but i have taken the php for back-end route and pretty much anything that can be done with js and its libs can be done with PHP.

python won't even take you that much, believe me. But if you are a web dev i would recommend you use JS eventhough you don't like it now, it ll grow on you overtime plus you can use it for both front and back end with the help of angualr or react or node or whatever - like all you need it html/css and js for front and backend
however, if you are not a web dev and want to make bots for desktops, basically softwares then go for python.
 
If your sole purpose is internet marketing in my opinion PHP and JS as let's face it. Most CMS apps are written in PHP. Wordpress, Magento, Prestashop, Joomla etc.. Imagine you want your own custom plugin or theme, or some weird functionality in your WP, that's the skills you need. Most IM's work with these types of CMS'es as building a website in another way (C# .NET / Java Spring / Python-Django) is way more time-consuming and complex. Also, requires knowledge of servers as you can't simply host those on any shared hosting.
 
Boys and Gals that was helpful
 
Only reason is to automate something if you're a programmer. Can sell it to other marketers.
 
It's interesting that you brought this up, I'm actually pursuing my Bachelor's in business marketing with a minor in computer science. I'd say when it comes to computer languages the most commonly used languages include Javascript, C++, and Python among others.

I've personally learned Java, C#, C++, Python, and they're all relevant to the marketing industry because incorporating marketing strategies into any computing software gives a company a huge advantage.

That is exactly what I am talking about :) For those of us who work full-time, marketing alone doesn't often cut it to get a decent salary, you need much more than that. Marketing Analytics pays decent and that where SQL, R, Python come into play.
 
C# or C++ is all you need.

PHP is great too.

I wouldn't get into python unless it's really simple what you're making.
 
I learned python, html, JavaScript, and php. I’m currently working on css right now. It’s not necessarily a necessity to know these. But I do believe that it’s very helpful.
