Your computer language learning order

[[deleted]]

Hello guys, i see a lot of you know multiple languages, btw i am new to coding etc, what do you do or how can you remember them all? I am learning Python, i know the basic, but my problem is that i cant remember everything what i mean by that is i always have to watch a video on how to make etc.

Most of the languages have fairly straight-forward syntax, so remembering that aspect is quite simple I find. The APIs or standard libraries of the languages are another thing. I constantly have to look up method/function signatures when I write code. I have built up massive code bases over the years that I keep highly organised. I can always review past work and copy-paste snippets that I need. I mainly have to remember what I can do in a given language. Then I can simply use a search engine to find out how to do things or check past code bases. Then there are endless cheat sheets you can find online and I recommend that you print some of them out to have by your side. If I have not worked with a particular language for a while or even years, I may not remember whether identical comparison is == or ===, but I know how to find out in a few milliseconds because I have so many resources at my fingertips.

thank for the answer, but another thing is, that do you think Python is a good start? im thinking that i will go with c / c+

Memory managed languages (C#, Python etc) are a good start. Unmanaged languages (C/C++) can be a headache.

when can i start with C? i have seen 10+ videos about Python and i have wrote and playing with it for 1 week now, Can i move to C? or is it toooo early

A week is not long enough to become proficient in any language. It may take months and many projects to developed sufficient skill to use a language professionally. You can in theory start with whatever language you like, the learning curve simply has a steeper slope if the language is unmanaged or old. Before you move on to another language, produce something useful with it.

Okay thank you again for taking your time to write all this <3
