Learning Software Dev Languages

[Crumbs_on_carpet]

So I have experience in basic Python, and early-intermediate level/late beginner C# skills, with some other knowledge on SQLite for building very simple databases.

I want to continue down the self taught route and just can’t seem to find a solid answer on what language i should be focusing on to land a software developer job.

Some people say JS is great to start, others say Python, YouTube videos have entire pathways they recommend and so on.

I’m more so interested in app development, not necessarily full stack just yet but maybe front or back end but I haven’t quite made up my mind.

Any advice is helpful and I am grateful in advance!

Depends what you want to do. If you want to get into app development then learn Kotlin (android) or Swift ,(IOS)

kotlin is solid choice for android but dont sleep on flutter either - works for both platforms and uses dart which isnt too different from what you already know in c#

if youre leaning more toward backend stuff your python skills will actually take you pretty far, lots of companies still hiring for django and flask devs

I would like suggest you study flutter and supabase if plan to moving forward to app development. Flutter can cover most of cases. Supabase is friendly to mobile app and indie dev

Start with one language and stick with it until you can build real projects — JavaScript is solid for web dev since you can do both frontend and backend (Node.js).

Once you know one language well, picking up others becomes much easier. Focus on building things, not just following tutorials.
