This question is asked a lot by coding enthusiasts. Typically when I see this question raised, I provide them with one YouTube video URL that I believe offers the best answer to this eternal question. The exception to me providing this video, is if the person asking, already has a trajectory being worked through. I don't give them this video if their trajectory conflicts with this video. It's for obvious reasons.

So anyway, here is the video:
Enjoy.

Andy Harris did an amazing job in this video.
 
That's going to be a tough one :)
It's very handy for cheating in games, however. But yeah, definitely not recommended as a first.
 
Python for general purposes

Javascript and HTML for building websites.
 
After learning python I cant recommend it enough. Its easy and very flexible with a ton of libraries that makes things even easier and faster to implement.

Within a few weeks of learning, making a google scraper and keyword tracker took me about 3-4 hours of coding lol.

So,why u dont recommend it?
U said thats easy and token a few monthes 2 learning it
 
Lots of people recommend Javascript but I think that‘s a terrible advice. The language is powerful and widely used, but it’s not class-based. I’d recommend starting with a true class-based language and move from there.

Like what?
Which language
 
C#, I just love it. You can legit do everything with it.

This is my opinion, dont get mad
 
At Uni I started out with Java. Later had C#, which is more fun. In my traineeship I had to work with Python which is fairly easy to learn imho.

But it all comes down to what you want to do later... If you want to make front-end stuff, Javascript is the way. You can also build back-end stuff with it nowdays with NodeJS.
