Worst advice ever. Bad info. Old video but I like Andy's stuff. But he did throw out some misinformation. Takes 5 minutes to setup for C# and you can build anything with it.
Thank you so much for your video! I'm inspired by your video. I'm gonna ask a meetup organizer(senior software engineer) to look at my cv (Front End Developer position) and hopefully he can give me some advice!
You want my advice? Watch this video, and do the opposite of what it says. Unless you start with assembly language, you will not have an adequate understanding of a computer. Whatever success you might have in your hypothetical computer programming work, you will always be limited by your lack of knowledge of computer's internals, such as opcodes.
I will still advice everyone to go with C as first language. It is hard initially, but after that it will benefits in every language. You will learn at very low level which will increase your analytical ability also.
I honestly believe that Java is relatively easy to learn, but it really depends on the teacher and the learning approach you use. If you master Java, picking up other languages becomes much simpler. For beginners looking to understand Java and eventually become proficient, I recommend starting with pseudocode. This foundation will greatly help you grasp Java more effectively. Many people make the mistake of diving straight into Java without a clear plan, which can make it difficult to understand the concepts.
I've taught programming for over 10 years. Yes, JavaScript or Python. And honestly I've landed on JavaScript. It's not the perfect language, but it's the perfect language to get started with because you'll see instant results with minimum effort. Once you get bogged down into async and weird object orientation is when you can jump ship if it's not for you. I mean, those are also cool concepts, but if you get that, you'll get anything else also, so just use the language that best fits your use case. So, Rust it is! Or Go. I haven't made up my mind yet...
Hi Andy, have you stopped making RU-vid video? Always loved your content, because I'm from the motor trade getting into programming and really love your content man
Older gen developer here. I learned QBASIC as my first language. It was the Python of its time… all you needed is a text editor and an interpreter. Graphics were a breeze: you just had to set the VGA mode and then could use instructions like CIRCLE and LINE. It also could integrate with assembly if you wanted to really speed things up for games. Agreed that C++ is a better second language. I like to describe it to people as the manual transmission of computer programming. It gives you more control, but you can screw things up if you don’t know what you’re doing.
So not only do I have to be the best candidate on the test, I also have to have to have portfolio of projects that directly align with the job position?? Guess I’m never getting a job…
Im stuck in the beer and friend, cant have one hahaha just joking, im currently at javascript and having fun with it! Your videios are so motivational!
No, if youre new to programming learn the basics. Dont take this guys advice. Theres more to it than just learning the language. people like you are wasting the time of people who want a career. "BECOME A PROGRAMMER IN 1 MONTH!!!!" "Skip the foundations!!! you dont need to know any of that!!!!"
Can i use chatGPT but i type out the code by hand and what do you need to know to get a job i know html and all that fun stuff but i use chatGPT it is more easier 😅😅
started with python, but even it was boring(for me). Then i learned C++, it became to easy (especially documentation an loops) and tried c# after. It is simple actually, but I agree about Java; it is harder than what people think. But Could be a good beginner language, just really needs storage space.
1. Programming languages should be specifically chosen to certain situations 2. JavaScript is great to start with 3. C++ is intuitive 4. Python is great for programming 5. SQL is great for databases 6. PHP is popular indeed 7. Swift and Kotlin are bit over saturated in current market 8. Python and JS are universal recently
Hey thanks for the content. Just wondering is there a way i can get onto some assignment like projects, for example like the assignments in freecode camp but like with less information about the project.
I do appreciated how you actually give some justification on your picks. Alot of other videos have some rando just with top 10 list, saying "uh. Its like, old and stuff, and uh, no one uses it anymore". I've heard some really stupid crap in those videos. While i agree with you on JS being a good start from the setup perspective, but it also throws new programmers some curve balls. My first language was BASIC. If i could back and start over, I would have started with C.
In college my first language learned was Pascal. Followed by Fortran then C. But that was a long time ago, and the only thing I remember about C is that the instructor was a good looking gal.
Currently im learning C# with Murach's C# 8th edition. Im also using an app called sololearn that is really helpful and allows you to write code and troubleshoot other code examples. I was wondering what your opinion on this application was? Maybe do a video review of it, so we can hear your thoughts.
Only 28 seconds in.... My language i am learning is C# because if its applications at work. We use alot of vb6, python, sql, JS, and C#, so far C# has been easy to learn for me, programming courses at work all use python and after what i have learned in C#, python feels very very easy.
learned luau (scripting) at 7th grade (for roblox studio) now i am in 9th grade and i want to mod minecraft so learning java and its kinda easy to learn. also know a bit of python. luau cost me loads of time but after that java and python are easy because you have understanding of the code.
C/C++ is what all should learn, don’t have to become an expert or have it as your main language but once learned you will pick up any of the modern languages in a day or two and you will understand things more than if you say started with JavaScript or Python one of the slowest languages and probably see it’s end soon as a new faster language takes it’s place designed for machine learning, really Python is bad I’ve programmed in it.
Wait wait... So just that book was what you read and you were able to build a Tetris app with JAVASCRIPT!!! I need that book ASAP Tbh how did you do that in just one MONTH?!
