Python!

Hey meepers. I recently started learning python and was wondering if python was really the way to go. I had already learned some HTML and some JavaScript but what was wondering what the way to go was. I would like to be sure then start learning whatever heavily. Thanks in advance.

 

depends what you want to do. do you want to make websites, games, random useful programs?

 

Ohh Python! Yaa it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, I mean I'm only looking at the beginner sort of stuff not the advanced part. Grok is a good website to learn it, thought it costs

 

I prefer Lego NXT

 

OMG yes
!!!!!!!

THIS THREAD IS MAKING ME SO EXCITED

 

Haha, I have absolutely no idea what any of these mean! Oh boy is it fun to be uninformed!

 

I know what they are but not how to use them
Except Lego NXT

 

Well thanks for telling me you swine.

 

Make random, useful programs

 

i would go for python or java then, but i'm not exactly 100% sure

 

OP wants to know what kind of coding language they should learn right now,and what is more useful.

 

The question of "what is more useful" does depend on what you want to do, though. A hammer is pretty useful, but not if you want to cut down trees. If your goal is to add interactivity to web pages, JavaScript is useful. If your goal is to add Minecraft functions, not so much.

I'd say the progression so far from HTML (simple markup language) to JavaScript (simple scripting language) to Python/Java/C++ (full programming language) is a good plan. Of those, I'd say Python is the better next step, as it's easier, has a rich community for support, and has other free resources available.

I've heard good things about learning Python from Codeacademy: http://www.codeacademy.com

 

Don't tell me how to live my life

 

Yeah, that's where I'm taking my class.

 

start with visual basic, good for beginners
http://visual-basic.soft32.com/

simple to understand, easy to code

python is more advanced and requires you to know some knowledge of coding

I've also been teaching myself Lua, which is challenging but interesting

 

C++ was the first language I learned. Personally, I enjoy Voxel+OpenGL, but thats a little expert level stuff. If I had to choose it would be basic.

 

I really liked this book.
You should try taking it from your library and trying it out.
