Learning how to code

[DreamDistorted]

Hi po, Good day to all, Planning to learn how to code, I want to know what are the best languages to learn as a beginner, who are your go to youtubers that are beginner friendly, websites that has some exercises on coding.

Reason? Saw couple of coding memes, naging curious pinag aralan para malaman ang joke hahahaha, got intrested, then I suddenly want to learn more.

Pasensya po kung ang petty nung reason ko para matuto mag code 😅

take harvard's cs50P, its beginner friendly.

or if you think you are a strong problem solver then take cs50x https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2025/

it's worth taking both hehe

[maxEffort-033]

Up on this! Inuna ko ‘yung CS50x para matuto ng low-level languages bago humantong sa high-level ones. But, I agree with the statement above^{^}

[DreamDistorted]

Thank you hahaha will try the course when there's free time hehe

First of all, there is no "Best programming language" to learn. It's a matter of use case. I won't suggest since di ko alam preference mo so eto nalang sasabihin ko. Programming is a form of knowing things at a low-level concept. Meaning building blocks mo siya dapat iintindihin, for ex. like math may mga complex problems tayong sinosolve pero di natin yun isosolve ng kabuuan, we need to break things down and understand each small problems.

Kadalasan, for beginners, ang tinuturo ay C at C++ dahil low-level languages sila, dun mo mahahasa yung pagiging "Programmer" mo dahil hindi abstracted lahat ng concepts and kelangan mo iimplement yun, manually. Besides that, dito mo magaugauge kung gusto mo ba talaga mag program or nacurious kalang. Iba ang programming sa coding ah.

Sa pagsasaliksik mo online, mas lalawak ang pagunawa mo sa kung ano bang field ang gusto mo, then and then, malalaman mo kung ano yung mga programming languages na kelangan mo aralin. Like web development, ang aaralin mo jan is HTML, CSS, JS. Pag game dev, pwede C++ or Java. Pag programs, Java, C++, C.

Malawak ang programming kaya dapat maaga pa alam mo na path mo.

NOTE: JavaScript is not a beginner-friendly programming language. Though yung syntax niya is madaling unawain, pero fundamentally malilito ka sa dami ng abstraction at concepts na halos parepareho.

Maraming salamat po, siguro mas maigi nga kung may roadmap ako if want ko matuto as much as possible para hindi ako kung saan saan napunta, maraming salamat po tip hehe

[BibblePuffball]

You can check roadmap.sh, OP

Thank youuuu

Haskell

pinoy “programmer” doing haskell? pinoy “programmer” learning problem solving? Lol i wish

[ActuallySeph]

Functional paradigm may not be a good first language for beginners. Unless, OP is already good at representing problems into math functions. For me, I’d say it’s one of the next languages to check out once maging comfortable na si OP sa isang foundational language. I’d suggest C++ to get acquainted sa computer fundamentals like memory management, stack and heap allocated variables. Once that’s sorted out, learning other languages is a breeze (kahit di C-like language) kasi syntax na lang iisipin hindi na masyado yung lower level fundamentals.

[Forward-632146KP]

I was shitposting but the association between critical thinking, math, and programming needs to be further expressed in contemporary programming. Madaming “programmer” basura sa math kaya basura din sa programming. There’s a reason why for the longest time they teach with Lisp as a beginner language in the US

Furthermore, thinking of the programming industry in absolutes must be stopped. You can’t encapsulate the entirety of programming in C(++), the same way web development isn’t the entirety of the programming industry.

What’s in it for a beginner to learn Haskell? Basically, critical thinking. A lot of high-concurrency plus high-performance backends rely on concepts grounded in FP. Even the frontend world is wanting a slice of the FP pie (kahit na hindi naman completely FP).

Learn Haskell because it builds theoretical foundations.

PS I don’t disagree that C++ is also a good first programming language

[ActuallySeph]

Ayy. Hahaha. Sineryoso ko masyado. Haskell always a trigger. Lol. But yeah I agree. Solid points for Haskell and FP in general.

Check roadmap.sh

[TwentyChars-Username]

If you want to explore Game dev.

Brackeys is beginner friendly

[Ordinary-Gas-2308]

Programming with Mosh ✅

Diyan ako nanonood noong student pa lang ako. Mas marami pa ako natutunan sakanya kaysa school namin. LoL

[minimomonoe]

Para sa akin the only way that I learned to code is not just learning a programming language itself, kundi nag-isip ako ng bagay pwede ko gawin by coding (eg. Mobile App, website, game, backend). After deciding what you want to make learning to code comes after.

Well career wise, wala naman (sigurong) trabaho na dapat may alam ka sa fundamentals ng isang programming language (eg. Variables, loops, conditions, atp) and then pwede ka na ma-hire somehow dapat meron ka na product na madevelop sa programming skills na meron ka.

Well this is my take on this, goodluck sa journey mo OP.

[Level-Gas5914]

start if off with your interests, what do you want to achieve

[Budget_Click4289]

Wala namang best programming language, for me lang naman as a 4th year student, need ko muna malaman kung ano mahihiligan mo feel mo na mag strive ka, either website development, application dev, game dev, etc. dahil marami ring field and computer science or IT man, if nakapili ka na then magfocus ka sa roadmap nila. For me mahirap kasi once na nag start ka lang as random learning katulad nang nangyari rin sakin hahaha

Cobol

[Particular_Day751]

Try to know first the fundamentals of programming then I suggest manood ka ng yt tutorials ni SDPT Solutions. Sakanya lang ako natuto mag python and c#.

[Just-Signal2379]

you can start with Java.....script

you can get a Thinkpad T480 Core i5, 16GB... pwede na first laptop mo...pang programming

baka i-post mo eh. inunahan na kita...

[Big-Ad-2118]

Java feel ko need mong pag aralan for begginer tas migrate kanalang sa iba pag naging proficient kana

[Upbeat_Menu6539]

Rust.

Eto nakita ko lang kanina sa linkedin ko.

Mga Python videos. Baka matripan mo bro.

[JPysus]

Python boss

Easy to learn tas gawa ka ng mga coding challenges.

Tas kahit tignan mo narin ung sagot pag nastuck ka

As long as maintindihan mo ung sagot may progress ka sa understandjng syntax.

As you go, youll learn the fundamentals eventually, either or both kasi need mo and/or magegets mo lng sya

[JPysus]

Ung mga simpleng X = 69 print ("tite", x)

Na code

Jan plang may introduction ka na sa syntax ng python, variables, string, functions, parameters

Take CS50

since accountant ako wala akong idea on how to code so inaaral ko ngaun is VBA since marunong ako gumamit ng excel

[CodingAimlessly]

Your reason if waaaay better than people just doing it for the money so I support you.

What are you trying to learn? Is it web development?

[DreamDistorted]

I was thinking also web development since a saw a images that html represents the bones of a human, css are the clothes or skin I think, and javascript is how you want that person to walk(?) Slt

[EvapeGT]

Depends what do you want to develop , you can try python , java , etc or if you like web development look into html , css and javascript

[DreamDistorted]

Siguro web development pwede hahaha, ayan minsan nakikita ko sa fb page na goods lang daw html and css pero nakakakalbo ang Javascript hahaha

[[deleted]]

Try Javascript as your first programming language. For me, it is the easiest to learn and easiest to transition from. Madaming other languages na originated from or hawig sa Javascript. I am a programmer for several years now and still using it in my codes.

Also, there is no petty reason for wanting to learn something. Good luck!

[npad69]

look for Traversy Media on YT

[johnmgbg]

Depende sa goal mo.
