My Java Experience

Okay, I’ll start off by saying 2 weeks ago, I didn’t know the difference from HTML or Java or any coding knowledge for that matter. My 5 yr old daughter is struggling in math a bit and I’ve always thought that programming is cool just impossible to learn unless your a genius. So I went to google, started searching for resources to learn Java. Between Udemy, codegym, SoloLearn and a few others I’m very familiar with the basic data types, variables, if else statements, conditions, defining parameters and calling methods and just some of the basic java fundamentals. Okay I guess before I got into Java I should have searched for beginner languages and where to start from 0 exp. Now that I’m learning more about OOP and front end/ back end web development I’m thinking to myself ( and I’ve read post on here and other places ) should I have went with the babysteps like, HTML, then CSS, them JS, & so on? I’m just now checking out the HTML tutorial on SoloLearn but other than that I have never studied anything about it. Would I be able to pick it up easy and move onto the next thing or is it complex like Java and a slow learning curve?

It really depends on you, if you want to spend a good chunk of your time learning Java go for it. If however you want an easier language I recommend either Python or Ruby.

HTML, CSS, and JS, are in my opinion, far easier to learn than Java. As a programming language, JS is less powerful than Java, but has simpler syntax. Java to JS shift would be a breeze, because they do share a lot of syntaxes! I don't know Ruby, but Python also is a really powerful language, and has even simpler syntax than JS (though it's not as close to Java). But it depends on what you want to do with the language. If you're more into designing, then the web trio could be a better choice than python.

Appreciate the quick responses, I think I might take on HTML and CSS & then try to tackle Python if Java isnt the right language for me. Thanks again.
