As a newbie to programming today, one might say you came so late to the industry that there’s just so much…probably too much catching up for you to do. In your journey to become a great programmer, these are some of the technologies you may find very challenging to learn, why they are challenging, and steps to take to make them easier.

Read on!

1. Javascript:
The world was probably a perfect place before Brenden Eich realized that web pages had to have a lot of noisy elements, dancing around them. Javascript is a language that is difficult to grasp even for programmers that are already used to other object oriented languages like PHP, C, Java, e.t.c.
Of course, the language is not difficult in itself. Enlarging your programming world view to accept that functions are variables and objects are arrays, is what is difficult most of the time.
For newbies, this language is difficult because:

1. As a first language, it seems really boring. All you can do is output dry text to a bland white page. You cant create or read files, create the next facebook (isn’t that why you became a programmer?) nor can you write a desktop or android application-not as a beginner anyway The language just has no spine till its mixed with HTML and css.

2. The language’s error reporting is just weak. When something breaks, you can’t tell what happened. The script just dies on you. There is firebug of course and google chrome console…but these are going to require another tutorial, right?

Frameworks..... Codeigniter hit me so hard...The structure was a very huge and shocking wake up call from my usual slap and mould coding.

I swear!!!....codeigniter is the worst framework I've used for anything in my life ....seriously it is

I've since switched to python with Django or flask and the experience has been awesome

If I find myself working with php again in the near future there is no way I'm going to even consider codeigniter.... Already looking at laravel with my 3D glasses

^^^ What professional advise can you give about picking up yii2 framework instead laravel or cakephp

Please why is codeigniter the worst?

if you had asked between codeigniter and yii2 my answer would have been simpler but as it is, in my humble opinion, go for laravel. it is more popular and you will be able to work with more teams since a lot of PHP developers already know it.
