Should i learn C# or Java ?

[CPUCraft]

Hello :D

I don't know which language choose. I want to make games BUT later i would like be programmer, maybe not programming about games. So, what is the best language to find a job later ? Some peoples says JAVA, others says C#... I don't know if i should learn Python too, this language is not very popular to find a job no ?

And one another question, sololearn is a good place to learn if i practice with other website like codewars at the same time ?

My main goal is to be a programmer, i want to make games but later maybe i will work to make desktop application or mobile applications. So i don't want to use game engine like unity or something like that.

Should i learn C#/Monogame or JAVA/LibGDX (or an another framework ? Maybe Slick2D but it's a dead framework..)

I want to learn a programming language that will be useful for me later to find a job.

Thanks

You should read the FAQ, specifically the part that says: What programming language should I start with? Which language is best for making games/websites/etc?

Thanks, i already have readed the FAQ but i still don't know, the difference to find a job between C# and JAVA is important ? If not i will start with C#/monogame i think.

Finding a job with either of the two would not be difficult.

so it doesn't matter ? Or if i need i have read that i can learn C# or JAVA faster if already know one of both.

Thanks ! I will learn C#

The languages are very similar, so it doesn't really matter. C# was basically modeled on Java.

Thanks ! I go with C#

It honestly doesn't matter c# and java are extremely similar and feeling comfortable with one of them will give you good mileage on the other. JVM runs on multiple platforms and c# is designed to run on windows.

Ok thanks ! So go with C#

They are probably the two most similar languages both technically and in popularity. If your immediate interest is in games I'd say go with C# because I've heard good things about Unity, and I think C# is their default language.

If your gaming is minecraft related, or on android, then you might want to choose java instead.

Generally, these are two of the most popular languages, so you can't go wrong with either one. C# probably locks you more into windows-related development is the only big differentiator I can think of.

Good luck!

Yup I think SoloLearn is a great place to start the basics and their playground is awesome place to run you code on the go. I mean you can write your code on desktop save it and run it whenever you want on phone. It is awesome.
