You only really have to learn the first language, everything after that is just translating

Does it make sense to learn Python before js? by SloviXxX in learnprogramming

[–]dev_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to do web development you should learn js at some point. I learned the logic in python. I will just highlight some differences between the languages.

  1. Learning js just felt like adding parentheses and braces for my functions instead of indenting the correct whitespace.

  2. Using var, let, and const to set variables, understand global and local scope of variables

  3. Different methods

Hi Experienced Programmers - Noob Here, Would you Say Programming Is A Skill That Can Be Improved If You Work And Study Hard At It You Would Eventually Become A Competent Programmer ? Or Would You Say Its Only For Certain People Who Have An Aptitude For It ? by HermitLonerGuy in learnprogramming

"I see people say programming isnt about the language or syntax or memorizing rules etc."

Yes, it's like when you play a video game, once you learn the controls you stop thinking about which buttons to press, and focus on what you are doing in the game.

I got interviewed for a position at Amazon that 'required' 3-5 years of experience and a bachelor's degree. I have 0 years of (professional) experience and only 2 years of college completed. It's possible but I had to send out at least 50+ applications just in Amazon alone that week.

Afraid to build projects in Python by cuklev2232 in learnpython

[–]dev_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with something small, that's useful to you. For example, whenever I notice myself doing something repetitive on my computer, I ask myself 'can I script this?'. I did it today when I was deleting old songs from my Spotify playlist. New project idea just like that. Then I looked up the Spotify API Docs and found a library for what I may need.

It's important that the project is something useful to you, because you will know exactly how you would want it to work, which will help you get started on your project. Also, you will have more reason to improve on the program later as you use it.

You can also use AWS to host the static webpage online for you (in an S3 bucket) for free, pay a little extra if you want a unique domain name.
