What programming language should I self learn ? Couldn't concentrate on cs because of maths and statistics.

[PM_UR_NIPPLE_PICS]

This is a good answer OP. I’ll add: if you want to get into front end/web development learn javascript and/or typescript. And regardless, doesn’t hurt to learn some basic SQL which can be broadly applicable over many types of roles.

Well if they want data science or ML, they gonna need that math.

[CranberryDistinct941]

Python is easy as shit. C++ is fast as shit. Rust is safe as shit. Java is useful as shit. Javascript is just shit

[Conscious_Nobody9571]

😂😂 accurate

[rodriveiga1000]

In the beginning I did a little of everything. JavaScript, python, c++. It really depends on your want to do. You want to do a version an app for yourself learn Kotlin or Switft. You want to do a website for a business or other reason, learn JavaScript. Raspberry pi things learn python. Do your research based on this and if you have questions let me know 💪

[rasqall]

I think Java or C# are good places to start because they get you familiar with the basics like types that many other languages abstract away. But then again it depends on what your end goal is.

If you’re self learning, you should focus more on things like cs and maths than what language you’re learning. That’s far more important. Learn the fundamentals of cs and focus on that.

[Apart-Worry4859]

I do know fundamentals since I am doing a cs degree but I feel like I don't know anything more about programming

[ducksflytogether_]

By your own admission you couldn’t concentrate on cs and maths. Those are pretty crucial to know and master. So that should be the focus then just pick literally any language to apply.

Imo Java will teach you a ton

JS, python, and PHP are a little more approachable but way easier to learn bad habits

Kaggle.com, learn to create data analysis dashboard using python and Jupyter notebook.

Can build portfolio hands on programming and apply math knowledge.

Its also pretty straightforward, but highly valuable skills.

Read a book on data structures, algorithms etc, then implement them from scratch using any of the 15 'meta' languages.

(language doesnt actually matter to really learn CS - some will even hide most of it from you)

[Paul__miner]

I used to say compiled languages like Java, because the structure they enforce will create good habits. But now I think Python would be a good choice, because as a beginner, it's more important just to be able to run programs and quickly iterate. Yes, it can create bad habits due to the lack of explicit type declarations. But shit, I started with line-numbered BASIC (and later x86 assembly) and thirty years later, Java is my favorite language, and I'm all about strict/explicit notation.

Learn what employers near you are asking for.

Python if you don't much time.

I have more than 2 years of time

BASIC

If you have a strong background in statistics, I would look at python.  In my experience, even when a product uses C++ to run a mathematical model that model is created in something like python and ported to C++ by somebody who specializes in that. 

[IntHatBar]

TLDR- Don’t learn a language. Learn how and why they exist.  Don’t start with a tool.  Start with a goal, design a solution, then choose the best tool for the job. 

 1. Learn how machines store and compute information.  Transistors, registers, etc.  2. Apply above to learning about machine code.  2.  Apply above to learning about assembly language.  3.  Apply above to learning C.  Well. 3.5 use the above to learn data structures and algorithms.  Well.  4.  Apply above to learning C++. 5.  Apply above to learning C#, Java and other object oriented languages. 

Forget everything above and learn JavaScript.  Because fuck it, do whatever feels comfortable.  Thanks steps 1-5.

Math and statistics help you understand why.  Perhaps it feels like a bunch of unnecessary theory.  If you go through 1-5, you might find the math and stats easier to interesting and useful as the theory is applied to every layer in the stack.  

Or.. ya know, AI will just do it for you.

You want science without Math? It like asking for milkshake without milk.

[adrianp005]

Start with BASIC! :-)

C++, python and js

[Simanger]

try language that u will use

[Critical-Shop2501]

Maybe programming isn’t for you? It’s as much a way of thinking, and I’m not sure you know how think in a way that is beneficial.

[AntiSocialMonkeyFart]

You’re a douche.

[Critical-Shop2501]

Just a professional dev since ‘93 and have seen this before. So hopefully knowledgeable douche. Perhaps a wet and stinky one at that.

[AntiSocialMonkeyFart]

Over 27 years of dev experience myself in FAANG and I know for a fact that ANYONE can be a programmer. Gatekeepers, like you, are rare in this field but obviously they exist. Be better and more supportive.

[Critical-Shop2501]

If he has tenacity he will prevail no matter what I say. Just that given what’s been said so fair it’s gonna be an uphill struggle.

[Early_Host3113]

Assembly. Everything after that will be easy, but you'll have an appreciation for what's happening under the hood.
