How many languages are you supposed to learn?


The answer is ONE!

Your friend said that Java is dead and Python is now alive. I can't stop laughing..., and immediately you switched to Python leaving your half-baked Java knowledge. Again you heard that Python is not fast enough and it's unsuitable for enterprise applications, you ran back Java or perhaps started considering giving C# a try. Once again, you have seen that your colleagues are developing web applications with php and JavaScript, and you think it's better to learn php or JavaScript so as start making some cool money as soon as possible.
When you are living in an environment saturated with a certain programming language, you may start thinking that's the only language one is supposed to learn. Python users generally think that Python is the end game, but in real life applications and many enterprise applications, Python is hardly found. Large enterprise organisations use Java, C# and C/C++. It's a known fact. Does it then mean that Python is not suitable? Absolutely not. A simple reason for instance, Java is very popular and has been adopted by many large enterprise, on the other hand Python popularity is simply a new trend compared to Java. Many large organisations had already built their codes on Java. Switching to Python can cost them a lot of fund. Of course, they would prefer to modify the existing code instead of switching entirely to new language.
So new organisations can build their codes from scratch on Python if they prefer, but switching from an existing language to Python is not what any enterprise companies can derive joy from. There is future in Python of course, many companies will use it sooner or later, but that doesn't mean that Java is dead or going to die.

Then how many languages are you supposed to learn?

I will reply by saying ONE.

You have to learn one programming language and make it yours. Delve deeper into it, and try to learn all that you are supposed to learn, from beginner's level to advance.
Try to explore the language structure, you may not need to learn everything but try to explore. Once you have acquired a working knowledge of any programming language, it will become an easy task to switch from language to another.
As a matter of fact, a good programmer(a programmer who has acquired the programming skills... algorithm and data structure) can pick up a book on a programming language and learn it without stress.
There may be many programming languages, but the fundamentals of programming itself remain the same regardless of a language. When you learn algorithm and data structure, you can switch to a new language if your new project or organisation demands that.
Of course, if you intend to develop Android it is a better option to learn Java from beginning, or if you want to develop Windows applications, C# would be first choice. However, learning the fundamentals of programming supersedes the knowledge of any particular language. Someone who had acquired the skills of programming can do well in any language.
In conclusion stop roaming from one language to another, focus on one and delve deep into it. You can learn all the 200+ programming languages existing in the world today, if you want to and have the time to learn them, but before that learn ONE and only ONE programming language. When you learn one language well,and want to switch to another language, all you will be asking yourself is something like "A for loop is implemented like this in C#, how is it implemented in Python?" as simple as that...

Asap... I rest my case!

I jst started Q-basic

Learn python and have it all.

Careful with this guy guys.
He's after your 3k

You are lying against me, and you know that...but at end the intention of every man will be revealed... what I said as everyone who was in the former CAA would confirm was that I knew JavaScript up to the extent I implemented the algorithm for generating Nigerian phone numbers in JavaScript without a prior knowledge of 10, 000 000 total numbers in a prefix, after studying JavaScript for just three days. And I did it and you yourself saw it , everyone in group saw it because I shared it to group.

Hahaha.
Lying ko lying ni.
I have screenshots.
How about the 3k ABI 6k part
Or ama I lying

Please share it here. Almost everyone in my tutorial group is from Nairaland. So if I'm not genuine or not offering them what they paid for, they would haven been reporting here. I want to let you that the price for the tutorial is now 5000 per month(doesn't apply to the first set of people that joined the group), and just today alone after your comment brought up this post, two people subscribed to the tutorial. I'm never a loser!....asap I rest my case!

Whichever one you select just make it yours... that's the bottom line of the story.

As a maths student, is python a good to go language.

Yes... it's great programming language without controversy, for data analysis/science as well as for machine learning.
