This is for computer fags. so I'm tired of my job and I want to do something remote from home. So I thought (in Slingblade voice) Learn to code. So any advice on languages, places to get training with out a college degree, Ups and downs and anything you know that I have failed to ask. Thanks frens

Javascript is a terrible language to learn first. Its variable typing will completely fuck you up when you try to apply your learned skills to another language.

Python or C (possibly via an Arduino) would be better. Sure, Python typing isn't great, but at least it doesn't guess what you're trying to do and change variable types on the fly.

Javascript is a little of a mind f when you go to learn it second from another language as well. If you don't learn to program it from it's "prototyping" perspective you'll "never" get it. You'll always be trying to make classes etc.

Not for nothing I started with html anr javascript first in the late 90s and early 2000s and had zero issue learning java or python a decade and two decades after. Shit everyone used to bitch about how complicated frames were (they weren’t, people are just stupid bitches). Knowing is half the battle. You can find a snag in any order of learning really. Its computers, not crayons.

I literally said learn from Python first. And that if you learn how to do anything in Python first then figure out how to do it in another language after it will be easier. Python really is the best first language. But not where the money and much work is. There are not many jobs for just Python and it doesn’t command much money on its own. Well paid Python developers are often full stack. And there often are no entry level jobs for it. It is a good supplement but anyone who has javascript down will never hurt for work or money, and won’t really need anything else. Javascript is huge and it would be silly to not learn javascript second. Or not know javascript and python for websites. Or to not know javascript at all. Variable typing is not a big deal if you learn python first. You won’t have to unlearn it when learning other language if you learn Python first. Those two will make most other languages very familiar and easy to pick up regardless because you will not have to unlearn variable typing of you didn’t start with it. I only make C optional because it won’t help you unless your interests and projects require it. I never learned it because I have never needed it.
