Author Topic: What coding language should I learn  (Read 1395 times)

So i've been really bored this summer and i wanted to learn an interesting coding language just to mess around with it,

but the question is, what coding language should i learn?

I've coded a bit of python and i have used html before (lolo not a r341 c0ding language n00b), i also have learned a bit of torque


ANYWAY~, i want to learn a language where there are a lot of tutorials for a (almost) complete beginner without being annoying ass videos because videos suck and i would like text/text&pictures because reasons.

help?

C++

There's an entire book that I'm reading that you can pretty much teach yourself how to use C++ just by reading through it and doing the things it tells you to do. Fairly simple and fun (if you have a lot of time on your hands).

It's an E-Book by Alex Allain called: "Jumping Into C++"

Theres a entire library of books about c++*


c++ is probably a good language to know but it may be a bit intimidating if you're newer to coding

Learn python and then Java/C++

Another option is HTML/5 and CSS

I'd have to say Python just because it's easier.

this is not for OP
should I learn C or C++?

depends on who you ask/what you're doing

you'd probably want C++

Like they suggest, C++ is personally my favorite language and I recommend it because of how many features it has and how complex it can get, and there are a lot of possibilities with it.

C++ is more advanced.

If you learn C++ first, you can learn C without a sweat.

If you learn C first, then adapting to C++ shouldn't take much.

It's a win/win situation, I guess. But I'd go with C++ first.

Python, then C++ get the basics first. Also if you want to learn something and your new at it, just use codecademy it teaches bare basics to get you started.

I'll go ahead and link this. It's a quick look at a variety of commonly used languages, such as C/C++, Python, Ruby, Lua, etc. Take a look at some of the examples, and see which one looks the best to you.

Since these rundowns are targeted at people who have had previous programming experiences, these are no proper tutorials, but a taste of what you may be learning. After you've selected a language, I'd look up a more in-depth introduction.

There's no one definitive language you should learn first before anything else. It all depends on what you want to become familiar with. Nowadays, you can pretty much make any sort of application in any language, e.g. making web servers with moonscript.
