    If you don’t know which programming language to start with, the two that you should probably consider are Python and Javascript. There are 3 main reasons why:
    1) how much demand there is in the job market, because let’s face it, you just want a job don’t you, 2) how easy they are to write and learn as a beginner with no prior experience and 3) how easy it is to build cool portfolio projects with them.

    As a beginner, you want a language that allows you to build actual things that do something fast
    Python:
    Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together.
    Programmers usually love Python because its syntax is very English-like, meaning that it’s very intuitive and easy to read and write. Python was my first language actually so it holds a special place in my heart, and I remember thinking in the beginning that how can it be that I’m literally almost just writing English here and the computer can understand it.
    Javascript:
    JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex features on web pages - every time a web page does more than just sit there and display static information for you to look at - displaying timely content updates, interactive maps, animated 2D/3D graphics, scrolling video jukeboxes, etc. - you can bet that JavaScript is probably involved.
    It is often called the programing language of the web, as literally every web page in the world that is more than just static html and css, uses javascript.

    I first learned Python. I am learning Javascript now. What I find is that when you learn one, the second one is vastly, vastly easier to learn. Learn the concepts. A lot of it is the same and there is a big overlap in the languages. I think a lot of beginners don't understand this. It isn't like you are learning Japanese and then Arabic. It is more like you learn Spanish and are now learning Portuguese or a variant of Spanish.

      Should you learn java as your first language? I would say defo nope as its syntaxes are not as understandable as python or javascript.
      End of the day, if you're a cs student then it doesn't matter cause you''d learn it all. If you're a self learner then chose one that is easiest to understand. After using that "easier" language long enough, the common concept of OOP, and common solution to solve problems like how to sort or what to sort will become intuitive for you. Move to another language afterwards.

    I started with C around 15 years ago. If you want a quick start, Python is probably a better option these days. But if you want to have a better understanding of how things work at a lower level without going all out on Assembly, C is pretty nice since you'll eventually have to understand a bit about memory addresses and pointers.

      I started with Pascal. Then C and Basic. Then C++, some Java, finally JavaScript. Of course I'm dating myself as in the business for over 30 years now. However, what surprises me now is how so many programmers is they have no concept of core concepts such as memory allocation, variable passing, order of expression evaluation, etc. because they think the language will do it for them. I remember one COOP student with slow JavaScript code and then I had to explain the difference between a variable and a DOM object. I've had another who complained their Python code was too slow accessing Excel documents only to ask them why they didn't use the VBA built into Excel?
      There is something to be said about C (or Pascal, or Basic) as a teaching language. Sorry, you need to learn about variable passing, memory allocation, scope, etc. Yes, modern languages will remove the need in most cases, but you at least know what you are actually telling it to do even if a lot of it is hidden.

    I'm slightly biased as a JS educator but I'd recommend it over Python in almost all circumstances.
    It's the language of frontend web development, can built a backend API with it in Node and other server-side stuff.
    I'd recommend Pythin first only if someone is interested in statistics/modelling/machine learning.

    • @muharief3885
      @muharief3885 Před rokem +30

      Yes, your answer biased really. What to expect from weak designed language like javascript? Hell the language it self lack of standard, if not tiny. If you said for beginner, that beginner person will likely turn back from programing when he tried more javascript. Here some about javascript:
      1. The language spec is just tiny on top of libuv c library, thats why the standard library for JS smaller compared to python. People try to add more functionality to the language by adding spec into it, and here they are ES5,ES6,2014,2015 etc etc and so on. Bcose of this, the code can become diverse between one developer to others, sometime this diversity very large and make your code unmaintainable.
      2. Like i said before, becoze the language is weak of standard, and didnt designed for large project from the start, the module system become very tricky, and you come up facing into two module systems "csm" and "esm". That alone will confuse beginner.
      3. Backend system, have you done large system in javascript backend? Hell, that prototype nature of javascript would make inconsistent code and really hard to find a bug.
      4. Typescript will save you, really? That type system makes javascript more like true programming language, but declare type every where will eliminate the advantage of scripting which is easy to write, but why not jump into mature strongly type language which is battle proven like java,c# or else?
      5. Most js developer like to debug using console log, to see what value was in some variable. While this is easiest thing to do, but very limited, and debugging nodejs eat memory and slow as hell.
      6. Its really easy to write bad code in javascript. Spaghetti code, callback hell , wrong data type, try to type "[] + []" in console chrome, and youll be surprised with the output.
      7. Yeah there is some hope, web assembly, finally you can code in any programming language you like and compile it to javascript.
      8. Large diversity library, the are a lot of bad npm package, new framework every week, etc etc.
      9. "Javascript is a cockroach", try to google it.
      Python:
      1. Beautiful language
      2. Good designed from the start
      3. Easy and consistent
      4. Vast use case
      5. Good ecosystem library
      6. Acceptable performance
      For me, javascript for frontend only, bcose i have no choice. Anything else absolutely using python.

    I personally was a JavaScript/Typescript developer for many years before I was in a situation where I needed to use Python at work. I learned Python in school, but personally, I found knowing JS first made learning Python easier for me. I also say this because I have Python developers at work and they know how to get around JavaScript but when it comes to certain things I find they struggle to grasp things as quickly as I grasped their concepts in Python (their codebases).
    Like in the video if you grasp one language and understand the majority of programming fundamentals -- you can pick up any language very quickly. Learning different frameworks and libraries within a language might take some time, but that's why we have docs. I say this because I can work my way around 3-4 languages with moderate ease with about 5 years of experience but I tell anyone learning to focus on one language -- get good with it and like I said everything comes easy.

      Ditto. I tried to learn Python as my first language, and yeah I learned the syntax pretty quick.
      But I didn't understand any of the fundamentals, so it made applying the language impossible.
      Now I started again, slowly working through HTML and CSS first, then Javascript. Not just learning the syntax, but learning the concepts and how they interact in the real world.
      I bet learning Python will be a breeze when I get to it.

    @CallousCoder Před rokem +3

    Start with actually learning how a system works and that means study hard and learn a low-level language like C/C++ or assembly. The after a year or two you have so much knowledge that picking up these "hobby languages" is a no brainer and you can actually problem solve and write efficient code. People who only worked in a high-level language find it hard (and most fail) to learn a low-level language because they have learned all the wrong things.

    To me, introductory learning in Python and JavaScript are about the same. But, for more advanced purposes, JavaScript syntax can become very crazy, in an effort to reduce the scope of the variables in the browser. Tooling with JavaScript can get wild if you actually want to use Typescript to generate your JavaScript. As you pointed out with languages in general, the are often purpose related. JavaScript is more of web, while Python is most popular for tooling, statistics, and machine learning studies.

  • @vanlepthien6768
    @vanlepthien6768 Před rokem +4

    As someone who has written code in over 30 languages (at least 10 for production code, including Python and JavaScript), one of the most important attributes of a higher level language is for it to keep the programmer from making "stupid" mistakes. JavaScript is a complete fail by that criterion - it is very easy to write code that runs just fine and does something other than intended. Type conversion is one of the biggest problems - whatever you assume, there is a type conversion that doesn't work the way you think it does. As a result, I have converted one of my projects (which uses front-end code to make state-based updates to the user interface) from JavaScript to Typescript - and have found the number of coding errors that made it to testing decreased significantly. Some implicit type conversions worked just fine, and converting them to Typescript was a pain, but I think it was worth it for peace of mind.
    JavaScript and its ilk are fine for small projects and Q&D scripts, but I would avoid it like the plague for complex software. A new programmer could easily fall into bad habits.
    The good thing about assembler is that an assembler program does exactly what you tell it to do, and the number of instructions is limited. A language like JavaScript may exhibit unexpected behavior, because there are many constructs that don't work intuitively. (My intuition is not yours, but considering all the cautions I see about JavaScript, how it behaves does not conform to many people's intuitions.)
    Arguably worse, C and C++ have undefined behavior in certain, admittedly rare, program constructs.

For instance, I know I could make websites with Python and pyScript, but I don´t think almost any employer willl ask for this when it comes to web dev. So is not only a matter of what language I like, is this right?

    • @InternetMadeCoder
      @InternetMadeCoder  Před rokem +3

      yeah there is, I should have included it maybe for completeness:
      1) if your only goal is to learn one of these languages as efficiently as possible and learn to code programs, and if you don't care about learning fundamental computer science concepts (ie, how computers work), I would start with the resources mentioned here.
      2) If you want to also build a fundamental understanding of computer science alongside learning programming, I would start with CS50, and perhaps after continue with CS50 web.
      Path 2 will give you a more comprehensive understanding, but CS50 is hard, so if you are impatient and just want to learn to program, I think starting with path 1) can be a better option.

    In regards to programming languages. I made the choice to start with Java as I wanted to do Android development primarily. Turns out I never truly completed the Master's class because there is so much to remember and I just kept on forgetting stuff. So I moved on to Kotlin and that was a scam to put it mildly because Java is actually better. So I stopped. Forgot that I wanted to program. Then when my head was empty again I tried python. Now python can do a lot but not sure how it is going to earn me actual money so I am having regrets again. In the end there is to much info on every language the pros and cons. My advice is commit to a language and just learn it. Most languages share some characteristics so once you got your first language down the second one will be a tiny little bit easier "so they say" I am still not able to code and is in tutorial hell at the moment. Sucks but yea making mistakes part of the process.

      In my (admittedly limited) experience, once you get your first language down the rest are much easier.
      When you learn your first language maybe 80% of what you're learning are the fundamentals of programming (data structures, control flow, algorithms etc.) while only 20% is the syntax of the actual language you're using.
      For your second, third, fourth language etc. you only have to do that 20%.
      So, yeah, don't get too hung up on choosing the right first language, all that matters is that you learn one.
