When it comes to bots, factoring efficiency, it's kind of like this
ython < Java < VBasic/Javascript < C++/C#
ython < Java < VBasic/Javascript < C++/C#nightmarez

I suggest learning Ruby. It is the easiest language to learn and you can do the most with it in the shortest amount of time.

Python will teach you to program
then you need to learn other languages.
I learnt python first, but never did anything with it.
C# is best for bots and scrapers.

We can guess what you did with that python...

hmmmmm your aim looks like you want to make bot , so the most easiest options i think for you will be the ubot studio. Python is a easy language and there's no point that you waste your time learning that. But i will suggest prirotize your your needs first

Python is not only an excellent start but all that I use. If you're after account creators, web-crawlers or data representations...fill your boots with that knowledge my friend.
Build things that you'll find useful to keep your motivation going.
Don't buy into the whole 'Python is slow' argument either. When you're ready there's plenty of ways to speed it up by slotting in C/C# code and quite frankly it only matters if you're dealing with masses of data such as web-crawlers.

I never knew there was this General Programming Chat Section on BHW, so thanks for moving it and enlightening me. I've concluded i need to keep learning python, java, c# and all that stuff, has anybody done it by them self with just help of gurus? Or if i really want to learn these computer languages will i need to go to school for it?

I am a self-learner, my formal degrees are in totally different fields. I am an expert in my (programming) field and command high prices easily. This isn't to say that schooling doesn't matter - it does. A proper/serious/demanding tuition program can get you on the track pretty well and pretty fast but it won't do anything unless you put the effort and time. No way around it in any case.

Python is a fine place to start, as is any language.
Python is a great language to start learning programming. Mit programming 101 course uses python .
Think of it as just a tool. Once you spend 6 months with python learning how to:
- use the os's objects: files, folders, processes
- do database stuff
- do basic networking
- do some client / server stuff
you will learn something much more important than just python - you'll learn how to code.
Then as you'll go about learning c++ you just 'learn' the differences:
- file.open('myfile') versus fopen('myfile') ...
But you would by then have learnt the underlying concepts and find out that languages do not matter. Need something done in c#. Easy: spend 2 days looking at syntax and language features then start working.

The simple answer is "yes".
This is not a good conclusion because Python, Java, and C# are all individually capable of being used to implement bots. There is no need to learn all three for your use-case. In fact, it'll likely be a waste of time.
My advice would be to finish learning Python, make bots in Python, and then decide if you'd rather be making bots in another programming language or not.
