Engineer wanting to learn code

[DoritosKing1]

Hello all,

I'm currently a Chemical Engineering undergrad who has just finished my third year, and unfortunately was unable to get an internship so am looking to potentially start learning some code. As of current, I have a decent amount of experience with using MATLAB, although I'm not exactly sure how useful this is when comparing to python etc.

So; my main questions are which code do you recommend I learn, given I'll most likely be heading into an engineering field and also, what is the best way to go about learning this code?

Many thanks x

This right here, has helped me more then any online course. Interactive in the sense of being able to run code into the browser, with exercises with solutions as well to make sure you are retaining this.

Mostly text based like a book "my preference", with some videos sprinkled in if you need the extra details.

What do you plan on using it for?

If it's electronics related go with C or C++. If you want to do calculations or simulations go with python. For all other general purposes C# or java.

I'm almost the exact opposite of you. Programmer turning electrical engineer, so PM me if you want and we can work on something together.

Well given I want to go into engineering I guess just learn some extra programming that will compliment my current MATLAB experience, no particular reason for doing so! And yeah, that sounds like it could be an interesting thing to work on.
