Hey, guys I was going through YouTube and there was a video that I saw.

WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LEARN TO CODE IN 2020

When I saw this I was like, what type of person would say this

And it wasn't even that he had concrete points to defend what he was saying.

Please my people, tell me isn't it programmers that make all these apps that we are using and yet to use

Isn't it programmers that made all these social medias available for use like Seun that made Nairaland forum, Mark Zuckerberg that made the famous Facebook.

Isn't it programmers that will continue to make apps until forever

Even apps used for making apps were made by programmers, true or false

When I saw it, I got so angry being a fellow programmer.

My point is if you are going to post something, make sure you are ready to defend it with strong points.

How are we supposed to contribute now when you've failed to at least highlight a few of his points?

Btw, if as an adult you're waiting for a YouTuber to tell you what direction you should face with your life then you need help.

It is paining me to list his points.

Java

What would be the need of Java, when you have learnt PHP already? Except you are targeting some enterprise jobs or Android development? If not, the time would be better spent learning Javascript.

Java applications are run in a virtual machine or web browser while
JavaScript is run on a web browser. Java code is compiled whereas
while JavaScript code is in text and in a web page. JavaScript is an
OOP scripting language, whereas Java is an OOP programming
language.....
Everyone Knows Where Him Shoe Dey Pain Am And I Still See A Very Big Difference between BOTH of them ....
Java is mostly for development of games and apps while JavaScript is a lightweight programming language(“scripting
language”) and used to make web pages interactive

Yeah I understand your point, but javascript allows you do so many things nowadays compared to Java and as far as the frontend goes, javascript for now is the only language ( unfortunately) alongside Html and css.
Java is just for backend development/android, and it has competition in those areas.
Javascript has no competition in the frontend for now, and extends to the backend as well.

Javascript is the language of the web and the most popular language in the world.

java has other uses outside web design, JavaScript is solely for browsers so learning java also has it perks,
I learnt java and it took me no time to get and understand the concepts of JavaScript,

I'm talking about getting a job quickly without a computer science degree. Javascript would get you there quickly.
Also when it comes to building things and getting results immediately, javascript is way better. Java is more of a backend language, but javascript motivates you from the very beginning with what you can build.
If the op has learnt PHP, then learning javascript before java would be a better route in terms of becoming a web developer.
