lolz but can python used to develop both front end and back end of a website?
Use python framework like FLASK or Django for backend.

Use Html, css, Javascript and many other libraries/framework that makes life easy for the front end.

Also, you can easily find...um...shared study materials *ahem*... online for free. You can download a bunch of high-quality textbooks used in most American universities.

Just get a bunch of stuff and read everything. At this point, it almost doesn't matter where you start, you just need to get going.

Even if coding isn't a good fit for you, the knowledge you acquire will still be useful for a number of careers.

OP first of all ask yourself:
where do I want to specialize in IT?
When u know that, you will know what tools and technology to use.
And again consistency is one important thing to cultivate when learning a prog lang.
Dont be afraid of failure. Dont look back when u've started learning.
Re: Which Programming Language Should A Beginner Start With? by b5ive(m): 7:59am On Oct 03, 2019
In my opinion, Python is the best for data science. U will need to download anaconda, but do the necessary research first. Cheers

For gaming learn how to use unity game engine or unreal game engine.
Unity game engine will require you to learn c# or javascript. I don't know much about unreal game engine. You can get tutorial videos for from youtube. Mind you the application are very large and require a lot of data to download. You can work with unity both online and offline, unity can work in almost any pc above 2004.

For application java for android and windows, swift for ios.
C c++ are also good language for game n application.

sofiscatedmoron:

not as easy as u think bro, python can be complicated when u start it, even though the syntax are close to English,
compared to java and other programming language, python is still fairly easy to use.

at least someone can create hello world app with just few lines of code using python when compared to java.

although I am not a programmer but I can still create basic desktop app with Python using tkinter for personal use. I don't have plan furthering to advance stage. just using it for basic stuffs but for those who are serious about going deeper, it is fairly easy compare to others

Java. Download Harvey Deitel's "JAVA HOW TO PROGRAM" and you're good to go. I've never come across a more easy-to-use Java book than that.

How'd do you make money through programming?..
Please help a brother

Please Can a person with no idea on what problem mean just that he/she has passion for it lean programming?
And how can he start?

You need to decide which track to take. It could be:
1. Web development: Frontend, Backend or Fullstack (both frontend and backend)
2. Mobile app development (iOS, Android, etc)
3. Desktop app development

After you have decided, you can do more research about the Stack you want to use.

If you are going for web development,
You should check out this link https://github.com/Monehin/BC-Learning-Resource. It is a compilation of useful resources you might need. Also see https://homestudy.andela.com/, it has both Python and JavaScript track, depending on the one you select. w3schools.com is a good reference point.

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

Please, how much is the bolded?
I'm in Lagos presently though.
