Which programming language would you encourage a 16 year old to pursue on?

Answer 1

If you like android development, Java is the best choice. You also need to learn Xml if you want to create mobile applications. If you like web development, start with HTML and then study Css. If you want to start with an easy language, try Python.

Answer 2

Python for beginners, HTML for web design and development, for gaming C# and C++ or Java. For hacking one should learn a language but should also be familiar with the syntax of other languages. One should also know about aspects like steganograpy, cryptography, cryptanalysis, algorithms, social engineering, remote access and many others. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Java, C#, Javascript the syntax is similar and so are the concepts so after you learn one of them the other will fell like second nature. What is your goal, why do you want to lean to code? Make a list of what you need to complete your goal and learn those, don't worry about making it perfect you'll get there in time. Also, choose a platform, desktop, mobile, web?

Answer 4

I would strongly recommend learning c as a beginner first. After learning c you can very easily crack c++("I am Damn Sure"). If you are thorough with the concepts of oop with c++ you can easily learn other high level language such as JAVA, python(very easily) etc. Best wishes and keep coding.

C C++ for embedded and for code that is fast executed otherwise python beacause more and more scientists and engineers are switching to it.
