The best programming language-PERIOD.
What comes to your mind when you think of best programming language?
It should be popular.
It should be flexible.
It should be well documented.
It should have a ton of users.
Just getting started?
It is hard to choose between different programming languages available nowadays. Despite the fact that we have so much of options to choose from, it is hard for a beginner to choose one. Then the question comes how to get started with programming? Well, it is hard to determine indeed. I might suggest one but your interest may be in some other field. It is fair to say that it all depends on your choice of interest in a particular field. I had this problem when I was just starting 3 years earlier, back then we really didn't have a choice. Costly internet service which we couldn't afford and lack of experienced teachers and guides. There was only a choice-the C language. It wasn't the best choice but we had no options. Nowadays, most people suggest you start with python and jump into Java. For the beginners' I don't think that's a good choice.
Note: Before learning anything, be sure to check out guidance to the particular field. However, if you cannot be sure then why not check all of the programming fields. You may find something better that suits your need which you had no idea about.
Which field are you interested in?
Web Development:
If you are interested in web development than you should be learning HTML & CSS first then jump into JavaScript. Most of them say, it is not the best and hard to learn at first but it's not true. I have a little experience in it and it's flawless. It is one of the easy languages I have ever tried to learn. The easy part is, you don't need any extra software, just a web browser, and a text editor. That's it. It is both procedures oriented and object-oriented, use however you like. Easy and familiar keywords are very plus point of this. Moreover, when you want to do things in an easy way, there is jQuery which is a framework of it. It makes a whole lot of things easier and faster with many more familiar keywords.
In addition, you don't have to worry about getting a job. It is said that 30% of IT jobs are for javascript developers and it covers almost every website you ever visited. It has a ton of tutorials online which you can get for free.
Software Development:
If you really want to be in software development, then Java should be the final goal. Why? It is cross-platform, the application can be run on any platform including mobile devices with some modifications on your code. Imagine the change it will bring to your earnings if it can run on all platforms. How do we get started? For software development, I would highly recommend you to get started with C. Yeah, you heard it right. Actually, for software developers, I personally think C is great to start with. It teaches you the basics of Input/Output, file handling which is the most for software developers. In addition to that, all other languages have similar ways of doing this except for the web.
But remember not to go too far with C programming, it is good but not the best. You end up writing a ton of code for simple stuff which can be done easily in object-oriented languages. A little but effective and enough for beginners. On the other hand, C# or C Sharp can also be the best alternative for software development, especially for windows.
Mobile Platforms:
At the current situation, the mobile industry is going a lot faster, which was the same for PC, Mac, and laptops 5-10 years ago. Manufacturers are eager to bring something new to the market every time. You may get lucky someday and be an app developer for one of them. Besides that, a good concept always pays off. It is growing at an enormous rate. If you are thinking to be an application developer for mobile devices, then you should give first priority to Android. Why? I don't think I need to answer this. You already know it but just for the sake of making this article long, of course for the SEO purpose, I am telling you. Look at its occupancy. There is only one company bringing IOS devices to market but probably a thousand time more for Android. But f your choice is IOS for some reason, it's good and as equally easy as the Android. The problem is that, when you publish your app, there are a ton of criteria you should fulfill for IOS. Well, about the money, both are pretty good and promising.
The fun part is that Android has a ton of free tutorials as compared to IOS to get started. The sad part is that you need to know basics of Java for Android. Kotlin is good but lacks good tutorials.
Game Development:
Gaming, both for PC and smartphones is a great choice however, you need to be a little bit good at maths and physics. How much good? Simple, better than me. The more you know, the better it is for you. I don't think there are any programming languages better than C# for this purpose. I know you ask why. Look at the greatest game engines, they support mainly C# or at least it is an option. Not only that using C# you can develop mobile games too.
I know, almost no great tutorials for free, but your passion is at least worth a couple of hundred dollars. Also, you need a PC with high configuration (not for just starting).
What about others?
Others are great too and there are much more. I was just giving my suggestion to start and probably make an easy living. Well, you may experience with a few of them. Python, for those who just want to know how the programming works. Ruby, I am not sure how it works. Scala, probably just of machine learning. It doesn't mean they are bad. Python used to be the dominant language used by Google and youtube. Most of the Linux developers will know the importance of these languages as it is dominated by python, mostly and Ruby.
If you are just here to know how is it or you thought of clicking on the link provided in your group, thanks a lot. If you really want to get into programming, thanks again. Consider my suggestion.
