so is there any difference between javascript and python?

Javascript is a user-side scripting language for web development while Python is a full fledged server-side programming language.

Python can be used for data science, big data, Machine learning, Gaming structuring and a host of other things which JS can't be used for.

Yes. In fact, Google currently lies on python for some of its functionality as well as Instagram.

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.

If you are starting out as a frontend developer,. It is important to learn HTML and CSS first, then Javascript.

After that, it is advisable to venture into Frameworks like Boostrap for your HTML and CSS level up and to also try Javascript based frameworks like React, Node.js etc

Starting out as a web developer is usually tough for beginners as they have to battle a lot of queries and finding people to answer these queries is usually not handy.

Most experienced developers do not make out time to assist newbies and when they do, they sound "somewhat" annoying as they might find some of your questions dumb or irritating.

With this thread, i am going to help you get started and occasionally attend to questions that you may have and also point you towards the right the right direction.

If you are interested to get into web development, you might first set out a skill set tour for yourself as there are three (3) types of web developers.

The first on this table is those referred to as Frontend developers. They are those who focus on the seeable aspect of the site. They work with Ui designers to ensure the site looks beautiful on all devices. Their skill set includes good knowledge of HTML, CSS (and various css frameworks) and Javascript.

The second type of web developers are the backend developers. These set of developers construct site's algorithm, determine how the site functions by collaborating with UX designers. They figure and configure the site's interaction with the server. They handle the aspect of the site which is hidden from the users. Their skill set include good understanding of server side languages such as Php, Java, c++ etc

The third are the Full Stack developers, as must have guessed, they are those who are skilled in both front and back end web development processes and technology. They code the front and the back aspect of a website and possess good understanding of Ui and Ux design systems.

To equip yourself with this skill sets, you will need to enroll in IT skill centers or web development institutions if you are not a computer student of a reputable University or Polytechnic already.

However, as a more economical way, i will advise you to enroll online on sites with large education materials (videos and texts). Some of the online tutorial sites are paid, free and some are fremium.

The sites that i will recommend are edx(.org totally free except you want to get certified), freecodecamp(.org), udemy(.com paid) and udacity(.com paid).
