Are u whining or what?

Why will mention html and css as programming language...


Learn Python...

Are you sure you are a web developer? For a beginner in web development, html css is a good foundation...before learning any web development programming language

Php or javascript, choose one
you can't substitute javascript for php, both serve different function js is used for creating dynamic webpages while php is a database language of which python can be a substitute.

Really? So you need php to use javascript in building applications?

Folks, HTML & CSS are not programming languages !! shocked shocked. Op, I will encourage you to start with Python or Ruby, these are very easy languages and fun to learn. Then if you are curious enough, you might wanna move up to C#. It's very difficult since it's a low-level (Machine) language but that will give you a solid foundation as a programmer. Then after that, you can move into more Object oriented programs like Java, C++ and JavaScript. Hope that helps!

Php first - but the thing is that, if you become so good in Php, you will be reluctant to learn other languages.

I started from the very basic - Basics & Fortran.
Then V basic, C# & little of C++ before embracing Php for web development & Php Clie.

After Php, it took me a very long time to have an interest in improving on my Java, C++ and learning other languages

What else do you expect from a bunch of charlatans? grin

OP, to build websites from scratch, you'll need to master html and css.

That's just for the design aspect of building websites.

To add some programming to your websites, that is to make web applications, you'll need to master some javascript and php for a start...
Re: What's Programming Lauguage Do You Think Is Best To Start With by MrWondah(m): 8:27am On Dec 06, 2018
HTML is not a programming language, yes. CSS is not also a programming language, viola.
Here is my verdict...
Since you want to learn web development, start with those. Especially if you are coming from a none programming or computer science field.
Afterwards, focus on JavaScript, very important. As a developer you can earn a decent living and can do virtually anything oon the web with js.

Then proceed to any server side scripting language. You can use virtually any of the mordern programming language for server side.

For me, start with php, bcs it is easier to understand. Especially if you understand tthe basic concepts of programming in JavaScript.

Alternately you can go for Python, Java, etc. But choose one and focus your attention

It is true that HTML CSS and JavaScript
Are not programming language but
HTML and CSS should be the first thing to learn

After move to python or php I will advise you to go for php after return to JavaScript

Personally I prefer Python, just because practically anyone can read it. The syntax it very straightforward you just have to train yourself to grasp the logic. Some people find the auto indentation to be annoying but it’s actually something I like about it. Read The Zen of Python smiley

JavaScript is another good one, if you don’t min dealing with npm and unlimited curly braces .

What are u even saying..html and css are not programming language,just for web structuring and styling..and javascript is a scripting language i.e it work well with an interpreter like the browser..
Re: What's Programming Lauguage Do You Think Is Best To Start With by vioment: 9:02am On Dec 06, 2018
Face it and go for c++ or java. No time. Its a lot to learn in these two anyway or either one.

8 hours everyday for 6 months. Lots of practice. Don't forget to go outside for a walk and fresh air, eat, and have fun.

Most answers here are correct to an extent. Here's my one naira opinion.

It's pointless to ask if a nail is better than a saw or a plier because they are tools for different jobs.

So IMO - before prescribing a best language for learning, I'd ask - "What do you want to do?"


Do you want to make games, develop websites, write mobile apps, desktop software... or break into websites?

If you know, picking the right language for the job will be a piece of cake.


If you don't know, just start with any language cos it doesn't really matter. The main principles such as functions, variables, input, output, loops... apply across all programming languages.

Note: Language choice isn't a big deal. If the first one you choose doesn't meld with you, pick something else.

Good luck.
