Learn the language syntax get comfortable with it. The basics are everything. Then get into the docs. Most times these videos online use old version of different tools its why you might not get the same result as you are most likely using the latest version where one or two things have changed.

With the basics and documentation you should be okay. It won't be easy learning new stuff isn't easy normally but the trick is to keep at it. If you are using an external library go to the docs. Granted some people's docs are all over the place. But it helps a lot especially if you are following a video as you can see if there's any breaking changes.

Self learning is hard you have to put in a lot of work.


Bros, I really have my mind on this course or skill but I'm seriously finding it difficult to do because I'm currently stock somewhere on the Android Studio software on my PC, but hopefully I will pull through...

Or is there any dev group I can join that you know?

It is not important which language will start to learn. It is important to focus on one language and then go to another.

Javascript is more multi-purpose, giving you more options to grow.
As a backend we'd better suggest to choose Laravel, you can find out why is it better

I've been trying to send a dm sir. I'm in need of mentorship and guidance to navigate this tech space.
Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by porpple: 8:32pm On Dec 23, 2023
Please i am interested in getting mentored. Currently working at a bank, but i've been learning web development for 6 months now. I am confused as to whether there are still opportunities in that space after all the layoffs and because of how saturated the space is currently. I'm ready to invest all my free time into learning a tech field that has a place in the future. I'm interested in software development or cyber security, to be honest i feel like i have the capabilities to learn almost any field in tech that offers the most stability and rewards, but i need a guide/direction.

Teaching no, mentorship yes and for free. I don’t have time for teaching again. I used to do it so well and even for free.

The technology industry isn’t saturated; instead, success is determined by the effort you invest. If you dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, opportunities will undoubtedly unfold, paving the way for your progress.

It doesn’t matter the area, just that some areas get you started easily than others.

Starting off with Python would be a great idea because it's versatile yet easy to learn, with a syntax that's clear and simple. Once you're comfortable with that, you may wish to learn JavaScript as it'll be invaluable for web development, or try C++ if you're more interested in game development. If you're planning to delve into sports programming or eventually create your own sports apps or websites, there's a new sports data API called SportDevs that could be a valuable tool for you. It provides a diverse range of sports data that could be essential in such developments. Good luck with your programming journey!

You will have to be very determined to start your coding journey with java as it is one of few complex languages not recommended for beginners. Why not think of learning python first? And once you get familiar a bit with it then move on to java.

With more than 20 years experience in programming I can confidently say most beginners gets pissed off few weeks after the get started due to their inability to comprehend what they are doing.

It is fun when you write codes and you see them in action in minutes. Setting up a java development environment alone may take you days if not weeks why python is just a matter of installing an msi and fire on. However java is a very wonderful language to learn.
Best of luck!

Through code-based solutions and applications, programming languages allow people to convey instructions to computers, enabling software creation, automation, problem-solving, and innovation across a range of industries.The ideal programming language to learn depends mostly on your objectives, passions, and desired programming outcomes. Here are some suggestions:

Python: Python has a large community and a straightforward syntax, making it ideal for beginners. Python is a flexible language that finds application in many domains, including artificial intelligence, web development, and data analysis.

JavaScript: A must for developing websites. It is flexible and may be used to design mobile apps and server-side applications (Node.js). It also lets you make interactive websites.

Java: renowned for its readability and wide applicability in large-scale systems, Android app development, and enterprise-level apps.

C#: Especially useful for backend services, Unity game development, and Windows-based apps.

If you're interested in developing a career in programming, you may choose a python certification course.
