Which one is easier to learn and/or useful/Versatile

I’ve been thinking about learning some coding languages (or however they are called) later, basically when I finish my exams and I don’t know where to start:

C#
JS
HTML
Python
Other(s)

I’d start with HTML.

I believe the first step is finding out what kind of things you want to develop. Each language is used for very different things and work in very different ways—while sharing similar semantics and syntax.

Learning HTML, CSS, or JS might not do you as good if you want to build games, while learning C# won’t be very helpful when trying to build websites. Of course, learning anything will harness your skills and make it easier to teach your brain other languages.

I’m a web developer, so I’ll always recommend starting with HTML, JS, and CSS and learning how to build website… but Python is widely referred to as a good starting base because it uses a syntax that is common across many languages and can be deployed for various uses from games, to desktop-apps, to web-apps.

The quickest way to learn is to get your hands on a computer and start completing free courses like these.

I hope that helps point you into the right direction!

youngseebi Thank you for the advice! But I still have some questions: Are these courses available for Android devices? Is it necessary to have a “powerful” PC to run any of the courses/coding apps(like Visual Studio) and what is the minimum Windows version required for all of these things?

Mar_SaGar well, @PixelParadoxOfficial showed me a mobile app named “Mimo” that teaches you to code on mobile. It looked pretty useful.

Regarding your PC, development is generally not very resource intensive. Most PC’s can run programs like Visual Studio Code. People have been developing things on PC’s with CPU’s so small that they don’t exist anymore since the early 2000’s, so you won’t need much. It’s just a text editor—think of it like a complex Notes application. This may not be the case for complex game developing and/or hosting & testing large-scale web apps, but that won’t be something you’ll be doing for a good while anyway.
