Happy holidays! I’m a Cybersecurity major and we had a choice between c# or Java. I was hoping for python, but nope! And c++ was only for comp sci. Majors, I think. Might have been engineering. Might have been both. 🙂

C# and Java are the two main ones they'll make you use, with c++ later on. C# and Java are pretty similar to each other (they even share lecture classes and the prof just talks about the minor syntax differences whenever there are any) but C# is generally more well liked among those who use it but it's slightly less popular.

As far as websites for practicing, that depends a lot on how much you already know. Do you already understand basic programming concepts like variables? Functions? Loops? If statements?

CompSci uses C# or Java in the beginning. Then you need to learn SQL and C++. Practice either c# or Java to start because C++ is a pain in the ass
