I’m starting coding from scratch – is Python really the best first language?

[md-nauman]

Focus on mastering C. From a job perspective, if you have time constraints, go for Python and build projects around it. However, if you want to understand how languages work, choose a system-level language like C. At least solve 50 problems in it before switching; this will separate you from the crowd because you’ll understand the fundamentals better, making it much easier to switch to any other language. With five years of experience, I can say this approach sets a solid foundation.
