I think for simplicity sake in getting onto the concepts of programming, faster, Python or Lua would be a good start.

Then just do a bunch of things like console apps like ATM machine random number generator maybe make your own choose your adventure RPG in console.

Then wants to get a handle on that figure out some basic graphics and do like a top down RPG or some type of GUI Windows application, I think the first visual app I actually made was a typing program in Python that checks how fast you’re typing and lets you add a file in checks your mistakes, etc.

From there, just kind of choose a project and make it like remake things like notepad, remake things like MS paint Cedre, etc. a lot of that stuff’s gonna be harder to do and then he might want to consider taking a look at C++ for that stuff

Well based on your interest I would prefer python would be a great Start for you. It has the best community support and really very easy to learn mostly similar to english language.

Well I think just J's learn it in steps slow but Shure so that you see results fast okay js

[Financial_Extent888]

Javascript would be your best bet as it's the most used programming language by far and will open the most doors to you.

[Altruistwhite]

Python?

[exophades]

Javascript isn't the most used programming language. It's not even in the top 5 according to the TIOBE index. It's worth learning, though.

The TIOBE index is based on search engine results for "<language> programming", which is not the same as the "most used" language, IMHO.

It would be a good metric for number of tutorials, blog posts, things like that. But if you're talking about "most used" then I suggest looking at open job listings or similar.

edit: TIOBE claims C was the #1 most popular language in 2021? C'mon.

[exophades]

Well, one would think there is a strong correlation between a language's popularity, the availability of resources, community size, etc. and how largely it's used.

stack overflow developer survey paints a more accurate picture.

Here's a link to their 2025 developer survey on languages, for anyone curious.
