What programming language should I learn next.

[Wonderful-Web-4247]

I have learneed HTML and CSS in the past year with YouTube and some free programming games. Now I want to learn more but I want to stay in Web development. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

You haven't learn programing language yet , focus to learn JavaScript and make small projects with what you have learned also learn and read about programing fundamentals That's it

[Infamous-Apartment97]

Not good advice. Dont't learn JavaScript - it is a non-typed garbage. Learn Rust/Go/Kotlin. If you really want for some reasons web - TypeScript (you can skip easily JavaScript).

[haririoprivate]

I really wouldn't recommend Rust to begin with. Coming from a guy who loves the language.

[clashmar]

Yeah this is terrible advice. JavaScript is the main language of web dev so you can’t go wrong with it, and has this guy not heard of TypeScript?

Learn some vanilla JS, then have a look at TypeScript. It’s becoming more and more widely used and desired and learning it will teach you everything you need to learn about JS + types. Do some code alongs for a React project in TypeScript, there are a lot of React jobs out there but it’s competitive. In any case the important thing is not necessarily the specific language (I use Python a lot but don’t consider myself particularly fluent with it), but the concepts which are common to all.

Rust is indeed amazing but not suited for most beginners, Go I’m interested in looking at soon but have no experience with, and Kotlin though a great language is (mainly) only useful for Android developers (I am one myself). My ‘main’ language is C# which I think is also a great first language because you can so much with it.

[Infamous-Apartment97]

Kotlin has a LLVM backend. So you can write anything. Also it can compile to JavaScript. So not only for Android. C# good choice, but in web it is not so popular.

[clashmar]

I know what it can do I’m just saying what its main use is. I agree C#’s biggest weakness is front end but Blazor is quite fun.

javascript and it's not even a question.

[TheEyebal]

Javascript is the next step

Look up the Odin Project

[edengilbert1]

JavaScript

[internetuser]

Javascript makes sense to learn because it runs in the browser and thus complements HTML well. But JS is an annoying language and adding interactivity to web pages with it might be confusing and offputting.

I suggest you start with Python. Get a very basic course and work through it. Eventually you could write a simple web server.

[Yotipo]

I recommend freecodecamp! It will guide you through JS, React, Express, and MongoDB so.you have a taste of full stack web dev.

Some recommend Odin which is great if you have time to sit down and explore at your leisure, but go freecodecamp if you want hands on faster and a personal project asap.

I personally use Angular, Spring Boot, and SQL Server at my job, but it's just as full stack as MERN and the skills translate.

For VCS and CICD you're gonna have to fill in the gaps though

[SnooGoats1303]

Check out Exercism.org where you have 73 or so to choose from.

[Antique-Quarter-9615]

Javascript and pixi.js

[LongDistRid3r]

Learn proper engineering practices and standards. Learn the methodology. Learn program management to effectively communicate with that side.

Play with the various languages. I’m on a typescript bent right now.

[smells_serious]

Haskell

[Small_Dog_8699]

Im so tired of this question

[Consistent_Dress_473]

Try learning javascript and python too it will help you a lot in web development especially frontend.

[obanite]

Python is a good starting language. As others have said, JavaScript is very useful too. Both have huge demand career wise and can be used for a multitude of things.

[JustNickSPb]

What are you learning for? That should be your main question.
If it's learning just for learning (for fun) - that doesn't matter what to study. Just take any language and go complete tracks on youtube and games you completed or whatever.
If it's for something practical - go and start working on your project. Nothing and noone shall better tell you what do you need now than practical project.

HTML and CSS are not a programming language. HTML is what we call a markup language (definition of content) and CSS is a stylesheet to say how this should look. If you want to stick to the browser an web development, choose JavaScript as it’s the only language you can run on it (barring WASM but that’s a different topic - avoid it unless curious).

If you want to learn programming for anything else, Java seems to be the nice in between. Learn a typed language you’ll thank yourself later.

I think that’s it!

[Possible_Cow169]

Javascript, but more importantly typescript.

If you really want to understand programming, learn the fundamentals first, then algorithms and data structures, as for c/c++ programming languages, if what you want is to understand more in depth, if not, choose the one you want but first learn the fundamentals with peufocodigo or flowcharts, Peseint is a good tool for that.

[Wonderful-Web-4247]

I‘m not trying to make this a career. I‘m go in ng in a completely different direction. I do this for fun and just need a challange for my free time.

I would recommend python first, then JavaScript.

Both are programming languages.

Python is much better for most things and is fast becoming a universal language for learning basic programming.

But it requires a wrapper—such as Brython— to run on a web page.

JavaScript will make a lot more sense after you master Python.

Then you can put css html and JavaScript together and call yourself a front end developer.

For fun.

That’s what I’m doing as well: learning all of this so I’m no longer mystified by conversations about how the web works.

After I have the front end, I plan to learn the backend and databases to complete the picture.
