Should I learn programming logic before getting into the "actual" programming phrase ? If so where can I learn it ?

Question

A friend of mine whose in college told me I better first learn the logic behind programming. He said once you get the logic behind it, it is just the syntax that differ and it will much easier to learn languages. Ps. He's a CS student.

Answer 1

I guess what he meant by logic behind programming are things like Loops, Conditions, if you're doing OOP then how to use the tools, etc.

All you have to do if jump right in!
Get a programming language you think you'll like (Or one that you feel you'll need in the future) and start learning how to write in it and how to use it.

I suggest start with an easier language like Javascript or Python, just to learn the "basics" of programming.

Answer 2

I recommend sticking with HTML, CSS and JavaScript for now. Study that book and get ready for a ride of your life, because there's a lot to learn.

When you feel like you want to know more about other languages after you've completed your studies on web designing​, then you can do more research on other languages.

Stay with one language at a time, because learning all of them would make you Jack of All Trades, but Master of None.

You can always learn them later

Answer 3

@Limitless I have started off with Html, I bought a book both covering Html5 and CSS3 also another book for Javascript as I am interested in web design after I cover all 3 should I learn Python ? And If I do is it a wise chose for the "web" side of coding ?
