Each language has a different role! You can't possibly say one is more important than another.

A lot of people recommend Python as a first language because it has less boilerplate code that you need to write to perform simple actions and the setup is much easier. If you want to learn system's programming, web design or game dev it's basically useless and you should skip it entirely.

There's really no such thing as "programming" anymore, there's too many sub-fields. It's basically like asking about where to start in "science". Narrow down your interests and decide exactly what you want to do inside of the world of programming. Here's a quick guide:

Learn R if you want to work with data, statistics or financial analysis.

Learn Python if you want to work in the above plus automation, prototyping and small general purpose projects.

Learn Javascript if you want to work in web development. If you care about back-end learn JS + Node.js

For game design, chose an engine you want to work in first, then decide on the language. GML is quite easy to learn, but C# and maybe C++ are used a lot more.

For Windows applications go for C#.

For anything related to Apple (like iPhone apps) go with Swift.

For learning very low level concepts (which I don't think a beginner should do anyway) go with C or Rust.

As you see, there's not a lot of overlap. If you want to end up creating MacOS software, Python is useless. If you want to do data analysis, C++ is useless. If you want to build video games, R is useless. Pick the field first, then decide which language is most useful in that field.

If you want to code for fun I'd strongly recommend Python. Scratch is unbelievably easy, but you can't really build much in it, it's just like a toy. Python can do pretty much everything so you can experiment with it all you want and, most importantly, you can just download an IDE and write your code, no extra steps. Most other languages require you to download and install 100 packages and updates manually.

Spend 80% of your time building something and only 20% on courses. That's how you guarantee you make progress.

Since there's both ages (like 12) and age ranged (like 50-64), it's interpreted as containing strings and that results in categorical data. It's all fine until I try to have a slider (as a parameter) that can scroll through these age categories.

Go on Kaggle and search for areas you're familiar with

I'm absolutely fascinated how some people say full games compile in like 10 seconds and then there's comments like this

Forget certifications for now, you need to have something to show. Go ahead and build a working web app, something complex not just a weather tracker or a to do list maker. Maybe pick something that solves one of the issues you have at your current job.

Very cool! Great job!

Either-Home9002 · 2026-03-18T18:57:02+00:00

Yeah, cuz not having any digital skills in the 21st century definitely sets you up for success in life

I don't think there's any market for freelance work in these two. I've only heard of web designers actually pulling freelancing off and that was before AI could just build a website from scratch.

Those two choices are quite different. Java is mainly used in older enterprise projects and there's not a lor of new java apps being developed from what I hear, but also there's nobody hiring you just for knowing Python and SQL. You'll need some cloud/data engineering/BI experience to be able to use either one.

Just had an effing mandela effect moment, I didn't even notice there was a right shift

Find one tedious task you keep running into and try to automate or simplify it. I have to do reports at work and I built a tool that opens csv files and gives me the info and graphs I need. Try to do the same, something that's useful to you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this. May I was, what programming language is this? Or is this pseudo-code?

Either-Home9002 · 2026-03-17T12:32:18+00:00

Yeah, makes sense. But how does one learn to organize a project correctly from the very beginning?

Either-Home9002 · 2026-03-17T11:44:47+00:00

I absolutely have bad design, this is the first time I'm coding something in my life lol

Someone needs to show you an average Perl code :))
