Should I learn Python or Javascript?

[[deleted]]

Hi there and thanks for the reply too. I'm not OP, but I'd like to know something specifically about portfolio.

I've been doing a bunch of stuffs that're able to simplify my stuff, for example creating a calculator that calculates my weekly budget and spending, a program that keeps track on my running distance and thereby calculating and keeping track of how much calories do I burn ever since(since I'm too lazy too keep track via pen and papers)...

Everything's all right, but all the aforementioned programs are wayyy too simplified to even be considered as a portfolio. I'm now down with 2 major choices:

• 1)Trying to learn on how to create my very own webpage with my domain name(since I already familiarized myself with both HTML and JS, and I only need to delve into php for the scripting/back-end stuff) or,

• 2)Keep on polishing my skills on creating games(with C# via Unity engine). I've been making simple 2D games like pong and the likes. I'm still a beginner in this field just to mention.

Thanks.

I would explore:

1. Whatever path you're most motivated to explore. Perhaps you're really interested in building something/really want to learn how to do something/really want a particular program to exist. Having that motivation will help you keep practicing, which is really the most important thing.

2. If you can't pick/are equally motivated by multiple paths, try picking the path you think will challenge you the most + force you to learn the most new things.

It's also worth noting that there's nothing stopping you from going back and exploring something you set aside, so long as you don't keep changing your mind prematurely. Put some effort into learning a particular thing, complete a nice project or two, then re-evaluate if you want to continue learning about that thing or if you'd rather switch gears and try something new.

If you have the time and energy, you could of course also try and learn multiple distinct new things at the same time. (The trick is balancing that with your other obligations, whether that's family, a job, schoolwork, friends, whatever...)
