What language would you recommend a beginner learn first?

Question

Ive done small html codes for web pages nothing fancy, where would be a good starting area?

Answer 1

I'd find something you want to create/build, then find the right language to do the job.

Most languages have the same core principle behind data types / decision blocks / loops / classes & objects etc. In my experience. I'd say go for a high level multi purpose programming language that is well known and has plenty of online resources for you to reference in case you get stuck, like C++ C# Java

If you want to do anything web related javascript would be ideal to learn first. Having said this my first language was C++ and when I saw javascript I thought it was powerful but confusing, so make sure to thoroughly learn the basics if u do choose Javascript.

Answer 2

Python
