What language would you advise to learn for the best money making possibilities & chances.

Plus got any examples of that?

Biggest in demand, most valuable creations, etc it all counts.
 
if you dont know anything then learn python, its super flexible and can be used for everything from building websites to bots
 
It really doesnt matter what language you learn. Once you learn the fundamentals of programming its pretty much syntax after that. You have loops, variables, etc and they all function the same in every language. Once you learn 1 you can pick up most of the others very easily.
 
I would suggest Java & Swift. You can make a good fortune if you have the app development skill.
 
Learn HTML, CSS and Javascript. That's probably what you'll get the most out of for time spent learning.

This'll allow you to build websites, mobile apps for both android and ios(if using frameworks like phonegap), games(with unity and html5), servers (nodejs), bots for web based stuff, etc.

Of course if you want to develop desktop software or more complex bots or mobile apps, you'll need to learn other languages, but most of these languages actually allow you to use html, css inside them when designing user interfaces.
So there's no loss in learning them even if you move onto something else later.
 
To be honest if you want to make money you only need to be good at it. For programming I would suggest to learn the basics.
Programming is nothing more that the capability of decompose a problem into solveable parts and combine them. Learning algorithms (e.g. Recursion, sorting, indexing with balanced binary trees,...) and datastructures like sets, lists, stacks, bags, hashes, ... will help you on your journey.
Next step (when choosing object oriented development) would be design patterns like delegation or factory.
This would be the hard way :-)
Much easier: choose a language and use try and error to write your code.

I beg to differ, Sure. Learn HTML, CSS and Javascript and make your own website. Mobile applications and web applications are becoming something that's being commonly used in the modern day of tech where everyone has their phone almost with them at all times

If you want to make any profit with Programming, I would suggest Swift/Java because you can create your own mobile application, put ads on it and make some profit from it. Think about it

Which one would be most commonly used?
A Mobile Application or a Website?

Even better, if you'd like you can push notifications to your userbase to make them interact with your application, Though this is also possible for Websites too but you'll need to understand what kind of users you are going target and if determine if it's worth their time to interact with a website or a mobile application and why
 
I think it's depends of lot of what you want to do.
Java is very good with Java 8 version, that implements very efficient syntax to manipulate data with Streams.
C# have anyway good implementations to manipulate data too with LINQ.
Obviously, if you go in web bots you can go on HTML/CSS/JS solution. Espacially, Node.js server is a killer choice.
Finally, another good choice for mining and exploring data is R langage.
You have very powerful text and data analysis tools (word frequency, classification of texts, etc...).
Personnaly, I have choose C# because I have already make high level bot that use Selenium. I build now data mining
tools that can be plug on that bot, and Yahoo Pipes-like tools for building bots.

You can create your own mobile application with HTML, CSS and Javascript.
You can put ads on it, and profit.
You can send push notifications.
You have full access to the hardware and can do anything a native app can do.
It's only when it comes to a complex program that requires a lot of power that it becomes an issue, but most frameworks also allow you to add in native code too which can help deal with that, of course that requires knowing the native language.

I still stand by that learning HTML, CSS and Javascript provides the best chance of profiting for time spent.
 
JavaScript, because you can do everything with it these days. HTML and CSS are really easy to learn to complement JavaScript on the visual side of things but these aren't programming languages anyway.

Honestly, HTML/CSS/JS is the kind of stack that every programmer knows to a some degree these days, so you don't get any real edge over others with them. But they're also in a high demand due to web getting bigger and bigger, so there's always work if you can work with them and you'd be at a disadvantage if you don't at least know the basics.

But the bottom line is that the language itself doesn't matter in most cases. You should pick one and go deeeeeep with it (over time), but the fact is that a lot of programmers work with different languages when the task at hand requires that. And that's not a problem at all when you have good foundations for programming in general.

Personally I have worked with 2 different obscure languages (they're company specific), PHP, Java, Python, C# and JavaScript (node.js). Personally, I would tell everyone to start with JS (and node.js) at this point. Or maybe Python. But probably JS.

These days all I do is JavaScript and C#. There's nothing JavaScript can't really do that C# can, it's just that JavaScript has a few caveats when it comes down to performance. But for beginners that shouldn't matter at all.
