I would like to know Is learning one language is enough?

Question

I want to know what language to learn first and when to know that you could start learning another language
I started learning Python. Should I study another one with Python or what!!

Answer 1

If you have no specific deadline or target, it's probably best to stick to one language for a while, until you feel quite comfortable using it.

After you get there, learning more languages will become a lot easier.

Answer 2

Let your programming goals guide you... Python is an all purpose language, i.e its used in so many platforms including web (back end dev) so, by learning python, you will have to complement it with other languages incase you aim at programming interface programes, since with python alone, console programs are what you can develop.
Happy coding 😉 Keep coding 🙏🏾

Answer 3

You can learn Python first. You can learn many languages if you feel comfortable enough.

It doesn't have to be Javascript. I learned HTML first and I turned out fine!

Alfred Juma
You don't have to complement Python with other languages if you don't really plan on making interactive websites. You can run code on just Python!

Answer 4

HonFu i've heard of it but never tried it... Let me give it a try

Answer 5

Learn accordingly to what you target.

Learn few well and you will understand every programming language. We can't really tell you which to choose. Everyone finds useful something else.

From my experience:

Python is really good for small scripts. I would not suggest staying at it forever, because you will not learn how to structure big things.

Lua is simpler python. Used mostly in game scripting. Not very useful.

C++ is really good for big applications. It's beautifull for advanced coders, but horrible for anyone else.

Java feels like less explicit c++.
It's not that hard, but it is still very powerfull language.

C# is absolutly beautiful and beginer friendly. Actually if you target windows only, this is the best starting point for desktop programming. It's basically nicer but less portable java.

C is close to hardware but not as bloated as c++. It's starting point to c++. Expect lots of segfaults.

If you want to do web, learn html/css/javascript.

Answer 6

Alfred Juma, have you heard of tkinter?

You can make desktop applications with Python and don't even have to download anything beyond plain old Python.

Answer 8

yup only ONE is enough considering you learn it from head to toe

Answer 9

Learning at least one is a good addition to your skill-set or self-education but if you want to pursue a job at this field, you will need to grow out of your comfort zone and learn a lot of other languages.

You are acting like you have to learn more than one. You can learn one, we have choices and freedom, it's 2020 after all.

Answer 11

It’s better to master one then all other will look easier

Answer 12

I recommend that you start with HTML or JavaScript, since they are the ideal language for beginners. Python is also an ideal language for beginners but it can get pretty complex.

Answer 13

You know most of computer languages are interrelated so don't just learn one

Answer 14

You also have the freedom to jump off a cliff. So that's not really the point.

Answer 15

Just focse on What you wanna make, Don’t worry about the languages
