Dear, The easiest language you can learn now is Python. I will advice you to start with Python and I will be so glad to give you that training materials for free. Or you can use youtube |

There's no such thing as easiest programming language to start with. My advice is have a particular project/product in mind and gear your mind towards creating it. Google similar product/project and see the technology(programming language) mostly used for it. then learn as you build |

Hello friend, I congratulate you on your decision to venture into the programming world. Do have it at the back of your mind that you’d face hurdles at many points but those would make and mould you, anytime you come across any issue, take a break and then go back to it. You’d be needing google as you sojourn in this journey, YouTube in some cases, books in some others. It’s recommended starters go with python being that it’s easier to learn. Your area of interest would also matter; be it mobile apps, web apps, and a couple of others. You can do it, you can make it, do not give up! 1 Like |

First: Develop deep interest Secondly, Search for where this dream can be realistic( I recommend Madesoft Academy) Lastly: Fuel your dream with passion |

blissbliss: For someone whose interest is in web & mobile apps development, would Python still be the best place to start? |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by junnyjake(m): 11:30pm On Apr 03, 2020 |
yomightgold: I'd love to have these training materials if you'd be so kind. |

yomightgold:. Bro I'm interested. Can you send the materials to me? dipopoo@gmail.com |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by blissbliss: 5:16am On Apr 04, 2020 |
junnyjake: Well..., the idea is you want something that’d open your eyes and you wouldn’t find difficult to learn thereby discouraging you. Python would open your mind to basic of programming such as data/control structures (If I have money, I can buy a phone, else I cannot), loops/iterations and all. That said, you can also use python (django) for web development. Alternatively, For web, you can learn html, then proceed to CSS, and then JavaScript. Mobile has variants; you either go with hybrid (one app for Android, iOS) or native (java or kotlin for android; swift for iOS). For hybrid, just learn one language unlike native where you’ve got to learn each of the ones you’re interested in developing (iOS and/or android) If you’re learning mobile, you may not need to learn python. |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by Johnmattee(m): 12:21pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
blissbliss:I had learnt html, CSS and JavaScript but I want to move with backend, which one is easier to use for backend between node js and python(Django). I don't have experience in python before. |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by blissbliss: 12:42pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
Johnmattee: You can pick anyone that interests you. Want to work for startups? Nodejs, PHP (laravel), in a few cases, python comes in handy. Want more stability (banking)? DotNET, Java (Spring boot). As a backend developer, you’re not limited to a language so either python or nodejs might come in handy for you at any point. Verdict: you may choose node.js first since you’ve learnt JavaScript |

blissbliss: Thanks so much for this. This has given me the perfect head start. |

junnyjake: Awesome. Glad it helped in some way. |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by junnyjake(m): 1:30am On Apr 05, 2020 |
blissbliss: Yea! A quick one please! Although, I know, the further I advance the path becomes clearer, but, permit me to ask, where does the opportunity abound more? Web or mobile dev?? |
Re: Programming: Where Do I Start From by blissbliss: 5:13am On Apr 05, 2020 |
junnyjake: There are more web dev. guys than mobile, so you may have an edge with mobile. But, just go the extra length to make your self the best; that way, you’d become an authority and a’hot cake’ in whichever you finally go with. 1 Like |

larrymatty: Your decision to kick-start a programmer career is a significant step; If you want to get started in the programming industry, no matter what platform or language you choose, this is what I'm going to recommend: 1. Pick your area of interest Decide whether to develop web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript), mobile apps (Android, iOS, Windows Mobile), server development (PHP, Node.js, ASP.NET) or writing desktop apps (.NET, WinForms, C++, C, WPF). 2. Select a language related to your area of interest For example, you don’t need to learn COBOL when your area of interest is web development. Hardly a popular language for web pages. 3. Research your craft Find every blog, article, magazine, video, and podcast dedicated to that language and learn. 4. Find a mentor It will save you a lot of time and it will help boost your confidence level. Even though the Internet is vast and informative, a mentor can help in two ways: they can assist you in implementing best practises based on their experience and if they have a network of people, they may refer you to potential future opportunities. 5. Branch out/Experiment with other languages You can run into obstacles with one language, where another language is easier to use. Once you grasp the strategies and semantics of one programming language, adapting the concepts to another is trivial. Now that you have discovered and started coding your preferred language, how can you become an expert? 1. Become passionate about becoming better Real programmers never stop learning. 2. ALWAYS know at least two Languages/Technologies 3. Code Personal Projects/Contribute to Open Source Hope this helps! |
