Which Programming language should I learn first in 2022-23?

 Which Programming language should learn first?

Well, nowadays so many people want to learn coding, because of the demand in the IT field in the future. And many want to learn because they love coding, But the question is, 

• How to start?
• Which language you should learn first?

The answer can be different for different people, for example, if you are already learning any programming language or you have an idea about a language then you should learn it completely and master it.

But if are just starting and don't know about any language then you should consider these points before learning a specific programming language:

• The job opportunities in that language
• How easy is the language for learning from scratch
• How much time it will take to learn
• The long-term prospects for the language
• Where you can use that language
• Projects using that language

Every year there is a new programming language. and new creative projects new demands come into the market. Here are the data for the current time 

Here, you can see which programming is in the demand more and which one will be in the future.

When it comes to choosing a programming language it is not specific, but in general, Python has gradually risen to become the most popular choice. 

Because python is easy to learn at the same time it can be used in different fields like Artificial Intelligence /Machine Learning/Cyber Security/Web Development.

And because these fields are increasing rapidly in the future python will be the best choice.

But but but......

Before you are going to start learning python I want to give you some suggestions.

Don't start coding with python. Even if it is the best choice I agree but still start with any other language first. Because if you choose python as your very first programming language you will face problems in the future if you want to learn more.

How?

As python is the easiest language to learn as compared to other programming languages. if you want to learn any other language in the future you will feel that language is harder than it actually is.

That's why I'm saying it. You don't need to learn the other language completely just have a look at other languages first. Then you will realize why python is an easy one.

 Python takes less number of lines to run the same program than any other language.

Now, this is only for those people who want to learn to code for job opportunities, if you have a specific interest in any field then you should go for the language which is used for that particular work

• If you are interested in Web development then first learn HTML then CSS and then JavaScript.
• If you are interested in App Development, then you should learn Java
• If you are interested in How to make games then go for C++

That's how you should choose your first programming language

Now about the key points mentioned above

#Point-1 The job opportunities

If you are learning programming purely because of interest and curiosity, then you should skip this point But if you are like most of the people who want to learn programming to get a job. Then this point is important to you.

According to Stack Overflow’s 2022 Developer Survey, Javascript currently stands as the most commonly-used language in the world (65.36%), followed by HTML/CSS (55.08%), SQL (49.43%), Python (48.07%), TypeScript (34.83%), and Java(33.27). It is also the most sought-out programming language by hiring managers in the Americas (PDF, 2.4 MB). 

so you can see which programming language has more job opportunities 

#Point-2 Difficulty to Learn

Along with Python, according to most programmers, high-level languages are relatively easy to learn. Java-script falls into this category

#Point-3 Time required to learn

Python, python undoubtedly tops this list it is fast and easy to use. you can learn it in relatively less time because of the minimal nature of the language

#Point-4 Long-term Prospects

Career growth is likely an important factor in your decision to learn programming. Technologies used by top companies are usually a handy reference, as you know the in-demand skills.

#Point-5 Use of language

If you are learning to program for a specific field then you should know which language is used in that particular field so here are the different fields and different programming languages used for that purpose

#Point-6 What Projects you can make? 

Now, Why projects are so important. Your project is one of the major reasons which will help to get your first job. Your project should be good, unique, and user-friendly. 

This is where Javascript Dominates. Javascript runs on any device which has a browser no other software no other library. You can build anything using javascript and send it to anyone anywhere.

Let’s just look at the Top 10 languages:

1. Python – machine learning, backend web applications, general scripting
2. Java – enterprise applications, mobile, desktop, embedded
3. JavaScript – mostly frontend web applications and some server, desktop, and mobile stuff
4. C/C++ – high-performance computing, systems programming (I include C here for completeness – it’s a kissing cousin of C++)
5. C# – mostly Windows/.NET software
6. Ruby – mostly web software using the Rails framework
7. Perl – general scripting
8. PHP – exclusively backend web applications
9. Scala – cloud computing, machine learning
10. Swift – any kind of Apple software

These are the things you should consider if you are learning a programming language.

First Learn one language well and have good command in that language then go for the next and so on.

if you try to learn multiple things at the same time you will end up with, By trying to learn multiple languages you get half knowledge in all which is not useful. 

You will face problems in learning any programming language, getting errors multiple times is normal don't let your morals down, Always understand the concept the logic of that code. Learn it and then try it own see where you are facing problems and find the solution.

"A good programmer knows what to search on google for the problem."

Try to make simple games using that programming language to have some fun and share with your friends. 

I think the above information helped you.
