What should i learn and use for making programs?

Question

Im thinking of developing a few programs and some games, but Im not sure what to use to start. Any help?

Answer 1

Hi there.
where you should start largely depends on what your progams/games will do and which platform you want to run them on.

For instance if you want to create an application for the web or that runs web services then you should look into the languages of the web: html, css, javascript, and php

If you want to create desktop or phone apps/programs then you should look into languages like c++, c#, or ruby.

I encourage you to think about what your programs should do, then do a little research to see which platform would be best for you to code on.

p.s. there are many, many more languages out there than what I list here or what is on SoloLearn so definitely research some

Answer 2

I almost forgot. There are a lot of API's being built for pretty much every language. These greatly help extend the functionality of your code by allowing you to harness technologies from other languages.
Microsoft's C# has numerous API's available. So does Java and a lot of other languages.

Do you have an insight for anything particular? That is, within Programming Games.
