Is Python a good starting point?

Question

I've really wanted to get into programming for a long time now and I've finally decided to start by trying to learn Python. is this a good starting point? what's the best thing to do as a beginner?

Answer 1

Python's a nice language to start off with because what it puts an emphasis on, like readability and consistency. For many they make references to how reading Python is like reading pure English. Then you have consistency, the formatting of Python with indentations and whatnot makes everybody's code look about the same. So reading another's work isn't spaghetti code. Now as someone that's starting off you need to take every advantage as you can even looking into data structures and algorithms if you're serious. There's plenty of sources out there, good luck!

Answer 2

Awesome, then I'll definitely keep at it. Thank you!

Answer 3

I think better starting point is c++. Because it is easier than python to learn

Answer 4

No, because python is more object based programming than anything...you always start off with procedural then to object...it makes you a more definite and adaptable coder..
