Enjoy reading!!!!!
The world of coding is like a thread with a lot of programming languages, with newer technologies coming into play, newer methods of solving old problems, and newer opportunities to be explored. The effect of social media influencers on Tech Twitter and Tech bloggers have also led most of us into a state of not being focus on a specific language and be a master at that, but rather you switch in between languages and become a jack of many stacks, and for a beginner, it has to some point made it difficult in choosing a programming language to start with.
The benefits of top-notch coding practices and their results are almost endless, to say the least. It is no wonder the masses, especially the younger generation, are curious about code and a vast majority are turning to our learned friend Mr. Google for answers on how to become an expert coder and where to begin. There are factors to be considered you’re choosing a programming language. Say, for example, is developing a dynamic web page, one might consider HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other frameworks as the best option, while another might consider using PHP or a similar scripting language.
Preference might be given to certain factors like performance, security in enterprise applications, fewer lines of code among other factors. Although, my opinion is that no single language is the best choice for any given project and while picking a language consider your ability to understand and run with it.
Again, I have curated a list of resources that will help in influencing your decision in choosing a programming language.
Enjoy the journey!
