How possible do you think learning more than one language simultaneously is?

Question

so, these days i don't have much time to myself and this idea just struck me. but now, i don't know if it would be wise to do so and that is why i want to ask of you guy's opinion.

Answer 1

I would learn html and css first, and then javascript.

Answer 2

Learning the web languages at once is fine though, maybe wait till you understand html and css thoroughly before diving into javascript.

Answer 3

I think it depends on how well you understand the core programming concepts.
Use a language like Python or Ruby for that.
After that what you will really be studying is syntax.

Answer 4

Thanks a lot.. my perception was that some where down the road, it would sort of get mixed up and get me all confused..now i think i will do just fine with those languages. understand the core principles and differentiate syntaxes..
Thanks again.

Answer 5

it's not the most recommended thing, but if you know what yoy're doing then go ahead. I'm doing this too cuz soon i won't have enough time to be studying

for the ones you tagged, it's pretty fine for doing this, i also agree with @Rrestoring

Answer 6

If you want to work in the web, you should at least know three languages: html, css and javascript (maybe learned in this order). But it would come in handy understanding php too...
For the other programming languages, it depends on what you want to do. You could regret learning c++ if you'd like to code for Android, for example, since Java is the most suited language for that purpose. Anyway, I don't see good reasons for not learning different languages! If you can, then you should!

Answer 7

the most common languages share a common root. Object oriented programming, software patterns, regular expressions, are common to various languages. Then learning more than one at the same time is possible

Answer 8

Data types, control structures etc are 99% the same in all languages. After the first well learned language the rest is pretty much repetition and small details.
Besides, you won't have to memorize and remember everything. You'll be able to check syntax when necessary.
It's good to have a good memory as a developer, but it's far better to have intelligence.

Answer 9

I was learning Java recently then I went back to Python and I kept putting semicolons and brackets in my python programs and wondering why they weren't working. Sometimes it can be hard to adapt from coding in one language to another because you create habits. They're very temporarily though so it's alright.
