Question

hi, I'm a new learner, and i know only few things about it, so I would like to ask some few questions and i hope someone helps;;

• ) how many languages do I need to learn (python, Java , c++..?) and what app or website or courses do i rely on? please recommend some free courses or apps.

• ) what apps are used to develop code; for example I know that { print(name) means it displays name on the screen but where do I insert the text? }

• ) how long it takes? it actually doesn't matter but just want to have a rough idea. (I'm also a fast learner)

• ) + some info

• ) thankyou;; for your help, i really appreciate! thankyou so much

Answer 1

Let me assume you are a beginner to coding, here is my answer to your questions.
1. You don't need to know any "programming language" before learning any programming language. Everyone start from zero. However, able to read English is a big help.
And it is interesting you ask this question after you found SoloLearn. You can learn HTML, JS, Python, C++ and much more from here.
If you want any external sources, geeksforgeeks and w3cschools are good starting point.
If you want course like experience, then you can try freecodecamp.

2. You can use the code playground to write your code in here. If you write code on your PC, it depends on which language you are writing. For example, a plain notepad + web browser is enough to code HTML, CSS and JS. If you want to code with JAVA, then you need Java SDK. For Python, you can download IDLE from the official site and get the IDE.

3. There are books advertise you can learn to code in 7 days, but I doubt how much knowledge you retain within this short period, even for a fast learner.
Take as much time as you need while feeling comfortable is my answer.

4. You can find more info by searching the web. Search engine is your friend.

Answer 2

You only NEED to learn as many languages as you want. Most people focus on one language but it doesn't hurt to be familiar with a few - depends on why you're learning. Why are you learning?
- search the forum and code playground for resources

If you aren't aware of how the print statement works, you need to begin a course. You'll learn it very quickly.

How long depends on you. To become some kind of coding master normally takes a lot of practise.

Some info... searching here and elsewhere online are great skills to use and implement for programming. Go for it!

Happy to help. Happy coding!
