I am studying software engineering currently. Personally I recommend learning a programming language like c++ which is a steep learning curve to learn the fundamentals of programming like OOP and Clean Code principles. Once you figure that out, learning languages like python are VERY easy. However python is a beginner friendly language but makes learning other languages harder. That’s why I recommend C++ before python. Good luck, there is a lot to learn 🙂

Welcome to the wonderful world of programming/coding/data analytics! We're a big ol' bunch of nerds who all fill different specific niches, and really, the answer to your question is depends on what you want to do! :D I'd say dabble around and see which section catches your fancy! No matter which route you go you'll want to brush up on (or learn!) basic logic principles (and, or, xor, if then, etc etc) and how to combine them to do different things. For actually getting started Scratch is an intro to programming designed for kids, which was a week 1 assignment I had to do when I was learning. Beyond that, I really like Data Camp as a way to get your feet wet, even if they do pay wall you at a certain point. Twitch also has some folks that do dev streams, so if that's something you're considering, you could check those out too! ^^

Start with Python

If you are planning to start your career in programming, I would suggest, first try to figure out your fields of interest. Those may be Just Coding, or Development or Simply a combo of both. If you are just talking about coding, then the easiest and fastest language to learn is C++. Java takes time to get a grasp on due to so many libraries. You can start C++ Tutorial directly. Watch it till basics and then jump to DSA. After that decide whether you want to do competitive programming or development. In case you are getting bored of coding, switch to development, because that's what is needed in companies I guess.

It depends. If you want to have a deeper grasp of how programs run and memory management, you can probably look at C tutorials. Mind you, this may be harder than Python, where in my opinion, all you need to worry about is writing code. You don’t need to really know about what’s happening in the background of a program. If you’re looking to go into data analytics, statisticians like to use R. In my opinion, it’s pretty good for visualising data, but debugging might not be as intuitive. It is for this reason that I prefer Python. It’s much easier to debug, has a lot of quality documentation and is easy to use.

Both of them!
