python is fairly easy for beginners.
The website below has exercises and solutions too.

install python on your PC and start coding( visit www.python.org to download python )

python frameworks, libraries etc

BTW you don't need to go to india, everything you need is on the internet. just "google" and "stack overflow" is enough.

Dear bosses.

I am a newbie here, but would love to learn programming language.

As a starter, which programing language would you suggest I start with (pls, I don't mind u listing the next program I can learn in ascending order)

I don't have a laptop, but I have a smartphone. I don't know if this would help.

Thank you bosses

Hello Hulo,
The programming language you should start with depends on you. Help me to answer this question; WHAT DO I WANT?
For Mobile:
Android --> Java or Kotlin (I prefer Kotlin for newbie)
IOS --> Swift

For Data Science:
Learn R or Python because of the large community support. (I prefer Python)

For Hardware or Embedded Systems:
Learn C or C++

For Hacking:
Learn Python

For Web Development:
Frontend --> HTML/CSS/Javascript
Server Side --> PHP or Ruby or Python or Node.js

For IDE/Text Editor:
Use whichever (IDE/Text Editor) you are comfortable with.

Finally, referring back to your statement “I don't have a laptop, but I have a smartphone. I don't know if this would help”, the developers of IDEs or Text editor do not target mobile platform as their primary source of income. So programming without a laptop or desktop would be a child’s play.



R Programming
Python Programming
PHP Programming
JavaScript Programming
HTML
CSS
SASS, LESS or STYLUS

Due to the numerous "i want to start programming, which language should i start with" threads on this board i decided to create a thread that will address this issue. I am not a wonderful writer and i won't say i know it all but i will try. I urge every one on this board to correct me where i err an also contribute in whatever way you can to make this thread worth it. I will try as much as possible not to be biased in this write up.

I am not going to go into detail in defining what programming is because i will assume before entering this thread you should already know what programming is. But in summary programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and computer programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and a computer. You can read more from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

Programmers could also be called software programmers, software developers and other big-big names you can think of.

Feel free to ask your questions, i will try and answer the ones i can my Ogas in the house will help me with those i can't answer

Please every Programmer should try as much as possible to check on this thread once in a while to help answer some questions Newbies would like to ask.

I encourage people to start with python. It is easier to start with and understand. You can build on the knowledge gained from python to learn other programming lingos.
