   Every beginner stuck at the questions, like –

   • Should I learn C or Python as my first programming language ?
   • Which programming language should I start learning with ?
   • Between Java and Python, which one is better to learn first ?

    

   Well, to be honest there is no right answer to this question because choosing a programming language depends on what project you want to work, how easy you want the things to be. I hope that my answer will give you clearity to decide a language to start with.

    

   1. Python – If you don’t have any programming background then also you can easily understand it and is currently in demand. It is as simple as understanding english language.

      Unlike other languages where you need to consider minute details, Python allows you to obtain basic knowledge of coding practices. It is ideal for graphic user interfaces (GUIs), web development, and software development. In fact, it was used to build YouTube, Spotify and Instagram so it’s in demand among employers.

      Though it has various advantages, but is often thought of being a slow language as it requires more testing and is not as much proficient for developing mobile apps as other languages are. Moreover, switching to a new language from Python is extremely difficult for the student because Python’s code are too short in comparison to other programming languages, the beginner might become lethargic while switching to any other language.

   2. Java – Many websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Gmail rely on JavaScript. On the top of that,  it’s a must-have to add interactivity among websites since it communicates with CSS and HTML. Therefore, it is essential for front-end development while becoming increasingly important in back-end development as well and growing in demand. 

      Besides, you don’t have to install anything for JavaScript since it is already built into browsers, so in terms of set up it is the easiest language to start with.

      Although, it’s not the most difficult to learn, but no doubt it is far more difficult than Python.

   3. C++ – There is a middle solution for beginners as they can start with C++ as this is not as difficult as JavaScript and not as easy as Python. It also has concepts like Pointers which many P languages doesn’t have. So, if you start with C++, you can easily switch to some other language in the future.

    

   But, decide to go for any language after considering reason why you are learning a particular language and do more research if required. hopefully, now you are in a position to choose what is good for you.
