hi, I'm a newbie in programming without any prior knowledge....my interest is software development.. I've started learning python what other language do I need c++ or Java ?
op if you are intrested in software devop building web applications I suggest you go with

M=MONGO DB
E=EXPRESS
R=REACT
N=NODE JS


I believe you might have been familiar with html, css and bootstrap first then "MERN" if you will want to go into data science later then continue with python and learn its framework DJANGO.


BUT THE JOURNEY NO BE HERE OO.

I became a professional software developer at 29. It took less than 6 months boot camp for me to become a junior developer and get hired . Some people start learning programming at 40.

To answer your question, YES
where una dey see physical bootcamp join? even me too Wan join.

JavaScript, HTML, PHP, and CSS. This is for full-stack development.

Been learning Java, but python is looking more and more attractive these days. Because of its relatively simpler code and versatility for both software and web design.
if it is simpler code I suggest Rugby

Whether you believe or not affects nothing.

That you're broke doesn't mean folks aren't making cash. Purely legit cash.

I'm not even the richest of my friends. Not even one of the richest.

In fact, what's shocking you about a million of naira? Is a million naira even so much money. One million naira that can't buy a reasonable tokunbo car.

Please how are you learning? I'm also a newbie but I'm finding it difficult...
learn through YouTube my friend there are tons of work out there on YouTube don't be a dummy...

You don't need a physical teacher or a physical classroom before you learn..
I use to burn 5gb worth of data watching tutorials on YouTube every week and make sure you join stack overflow, reedit and Facebook groups on software devop..

I am currently learning python, I think it's high time I switch to JavaScript, python is too logical for my liking
JS is best for web dev, but all-round python is better. It (python) has so many libraries. wink

You're still in the best age to start learning. I'm in my 30s and I'm still learning. I started at 26, not full time though.

I'll advise you give it your all. There's always millions of jobs for "good" programmers out there. If you have passion for programming, forget the money for now, give it all your focus and in the next two years, you will be counting in millions.

Quote me anywhere

Learn Dart plus Flutter!

Dart is Google's own programming language developed by Goolgle and is simple to learn. Its shares syntax closely with java and it is a typed language.

Flutter is framework with which you can build beautiful UI (User Interface) where everything is a widget. The framework depends on Dart as the programming language.

I will tell you for free that the beauty of Flutter lies in the fact that with a code base, you can develop for more than 3 platforms: Android, iOS, web, desktop(new addition to the family) and even PWAs.

You would love it, give Flutter a trial!

I would advice you begin with HTML,CSS then JS then you can decide on whether you should journey to been a backend(where you can still use Python) or frontend or even a fullstack.

JavaScript works hand-in-hand with HTML and CSS. JavaScript makes your web app smarter in a way, let's just describe it as the brain while HTML is the Skeleton and CSS is the beautiful skin and clothes cool
With JavaScript, you can proceed to React and React Native which enable you to create a Website, an Android app and an iOS app all at the same time using the same code, so instead of learning Java to build Android apps and then learning Swift to build iOS apps and still learn Python or JavaScript to build a website, you can simply learn JavaScript and React Native to do all three at once with the same code.

Focus on knowing software development principles first.
Principles like object oriented programming (oop), conditional branching, etc

Learning a language is secondary.

The truth is that there is no programming language that is better than the other.

I have been into software development for about 30 years, I have used many different tools (programming languages) for different kinds of projects, I switch to any language I want at will. (it is just to read the manual on the language syntax)

I can do this because I have a foundational knowledge of software development principles.
If you focus on learning language first, you can't get this flexibility.

Exactly my point! There are cross platforms, like the Google Flutter, even Ionic, etc.

Development is rapid, better with awesome UIs and more beautiful!!

Java and Swift have only one major advantage over cross platform frameworks (such as React Native and Flutter). Developers claim they have more flexibility to interact with the UI and operating system (Android and iOS) than those frameworks. In some cases, you may need to mix Java and Swift with React Native to achieve your goal.
The good news is the JS developers in big tech firms like Facebook and Google are constantly working on new HTML5 APIs and JS libraries to bridge that gap. JavaScript now has libraries for Artificial Intelligence and more work is been put in place to see JavaScript overtake Python in AI development.

I strongly disagree with you. How can you compare the flexibility with the ui when using java or swift to that of flutter. Make your research on flutter bro and prove me wrong
