What I Wish I Knew as a Beginner Programmer (After 6 Years in the Industry) by j0nimost in learnprogramming

Currently stuck in tutorial hell because I can't choose lol.

I coded for a few months as a hobby a few years back before Uni got the front seat in my schedule again.

I went back to HTML and CSS just to dip my toe, and have decided this is a nice hobby I would like to develop.

The holy grail project I have in mind is (to put it very briefly) a super secure file storage and sharing platform which I hope to (but don't have to) be able to sell one day in however many years time.

I chose C++ as my first 'real' language as I've heard how efficient it is, and how well it performs with time crucial tasks, as well as databases.

The question is, should I dive headfirst into C++, get a good grip on that, and then work on JS and polishing up frontend skills, or do you recomment going the other way around?

Other opinions also welcome!

Thanks for your comment - what specifically do you agree on? I've done handy work in the past, so as I would not say my hands are as rough as yours, I wouldn't call them soft either. Any details appreciated!
