i'm confused,which one should i really learn first for web development..

html, css, and javascript for frontend (frontend refers to the the user interface)
and i would advice nodejs for backend (nodejs is the equivalent of your browser for javascript. javascript code runs in your browser on the frontend, but runs on nodejs on the back. The backend basically refers to servers and how they process requests, and databases )

but start from one and move up in the following order

html
css
javascript
a javascript frontend framework (react or angular or vue, the three most popular)
nodejs
express (a javascript backend framework)
mongodb (a nosql database) sql/nosql simply refers to the way the data is stored in the database

shikena, this alone with self study can take you about/more than a year to complete, considering the unfavorable factors (power supply, expensive internet access) in nigeria, but with the mean/mern stack(mean means mongodb, express, angular, and node, mern is the same, just change the angular (a) to react (r)) under your belt, it will be a lot easier for you to start applying for junior developer jobs.

Also try to learn each technology faster than the previous, companies also look for how fast you are at adapting to new technology, you might get a job, and your company might expect you to build an app with django within a week, and you've never touched python before. or to implement vue in your app, when you've never touched vue in your life, so how fast you learn counts a lot also.

Start with Php, it easier

I don't know why people say Python is easy

leave them.. they are still printing Hello world to screen.
Re: Which Programming Language Should A Beginner Start With? by ARROBA(m): 3:59pm On Oct 02, 2019
For web development, start with html, css and bootstrap for static front end web site development(though they are not programming language). Then learn php for server side scripting.

I have been learning php for close to a month online for free and I have been able to build a site with login, registration, password reset and email verification pages connecting to Mysql backend.

Php has been one of the easiest language for me to learn
for someone who has been in the I.C.T. for 13 years.

You can learn php basics and other languages for free from this site. You can also run your code on the site if you do not have code editors

For code editors, you can download sublime text, visual studio code, Athom or notpad++...They are all free to download

Am also intereested in learning programming, website development,design. But I have one question is it compulsory that i attend computer school or i should just learn it online?

PrinceDave001:

Someone should please answer this.

You don't have to go to computer school.

You can start learning online at www.bytementor.com where you can get a 1-on-1 online programmer to guide you from zero experience to become a full-stack developer.

python fundamentals are easy, but i believe its advanced features are just as complicated as statically typed languages like java or c++, stuff like decorators, metaclasses, properties e.t.c

its applications are worse, most people aren't ready when the come from writing a function that prints hello world to implementing callbacks in tkinter or decorators in flask. The bottom line is python is easy but its applications aren't

Hi Nairalanders.I want To learn programming language since i have no knowledge in any of the language i need advice on which programming language i should start with and why i should start with that one.


If you are learning this because you want to venture into Web development, then it is advisable to start with HTML and CSS as they will help you understand Syntax and Semantics.

After that, you can proceed to learn JS as it helps in making sites dynamic. Php will come handy as a server side language and your experience with HTML will be needed here.

If you are venturing into Programming strictly, then it is important you learn new technologies such Python or Ruby on Rails.

Sadly for me JavaScript is just so complex I can't follow thru. Everything is so abstract for me.
So are you saying I can just learn jquery and I can work with that?

N/b I already have basic knowledge of HTML and css

Please don't start with jQuery, learn vanilla JS first before using JS libraries and frameworks.

at all, html is strictly markup, nothing else, html5 api's like geolocation are mostly written in javascript.
To call anything a programming language, it must have logic, sequence, selection (conditionals) and repetition (loops)

Oh,
Yeah.

Hi Nairalanders.I want To learn programming language since i have no knowledge in any of the language i need advice on which programming language i should start with and why i should start with that one.

like someone has mentioned , you can learn python which you can use to create both web and desktop app. at least the syntax is not as complex as other programming language.

there are lots of full video tutorial courses on python and other programming language which you can use to self teach yourself at home.

I have lots of video courses which is made by top authors.

for those in who reside in Lagos, you can come to my office to get them in packs or if you are based outside, we can arrange for me to send it to your location by storing in flash drive. that is how I do send to others outside Lagos.

you don't have to go to any school. video tutorials is what most people use now a days.

if you are based in Lagos, you can visit my office to get top notch video tutorial courses from various authors on python, php, JavaScript, java, and lots more.

I do send to those staying outside Lagos by storing in flash drive and sent via courier to their location. that way you have lots of video course from beginner to advance .
