Start with C++😉

Choose a language and just focus on learning that one language. Keep working on it and you will get your "aha!" moment. I had mine while watching Mr. Robot.

1. Choosing your first Language

You can choose any language.
if you can't decided here the guide :

HTML is used to make web structure.

CSS is used to give style or animate web

JAVASCRIPT is used to make dynamic web (you can even make game)

PHP is server side scripting language

SQL is database manajemen in server side

C++ is multiplatform OOP based programming language (you can make many app including Games)

C# is more spesific (windows os) than C++

Java is used to build app that can run on any devices (including Android).
JAVA is not JAVASCRIPT

Python is multiplatform OOP based programming languages with easy syntax (compared to other OOP Language)

Python3 and Django for building strong and very rich website ( flask is used for small website,but Django for everything)

kivy ( a Python Program for anroid )is used for making android apps.

Kotlin is Google's new Program for android.
Google's new android version is built on Kotlin.Kotlin is dynamic and co opt with latest technological development (such as Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Facial Recognition etc)
It's coding process is also simple and as like Python.

Swift is for building apple / IOS app .

Answer 4

Thanks all of you!!! This is great information!! Very helpful!!!

Answer 5

"These are your first steps into a larger world."

Answer 6

Start with Python.

Answer 7

No one knows what they’re doing at first. At least most people dont. But don’t let it discourage you. Make sure you practice what you learn in these lessons, probably one of my biggest at mistakes when starting out

Answer 8

You also check YouTube for some tutorial. There"s a channel called Coding 101 that helped me a lot along the way.

Answer 9

C++ is harder to learn than Python I hear. I was advised to start with Python and so that's what I did. Don't know too much about C++ yet.

Answer 10

Plus don’t sweat any of this stuff. It’s a pain when you first start but after a while it’s like second nature. Promise :)

Answer 11

you can start with html css and js to make a website and than you make it an app as described here

Answer 12

I’m not even sure how this app works. I literally started on HTML and all I did was copy what it said and clicked “RUN.” I’m not sure where to go from there.

Answer 13

Yeah start with C++

Answer 14

C++?

Answer 15

For me the point of this app is to refresh some topics. Go on your laptop and try these lessons out. I personally never use the run on the app. Just go through the lessons take notes if needed and try them out.

Answer 16

Ok, but are there any instructions to these lessons? If there are, I can’t seem to find them lol

Answer 17

So the idea is you chose a language you want to learn and download the corresponding app for it. Like if I wanted to learn c++ I’d download the learn c++ app

Answer 18

Ok!!! Thank you!!

Answer 19

Ahhhh see I didn’t know I had to download another app. That’s where I’m going wrong. I just thought everything was in this app.

Answer 20

I just started to use this app so I’m not totally familiar with it. But I’ve always just downloaded a separate sololearn app specifically for he language I wanted to learn.
