    The most important thing is to start. Which language you pick is less important, once you grasp a concept you can just google how the syntax is for another language.

    I made the mistake of being too brainy - thinking too much about how to start correctly and which language to pick. I ended up waffling around with some python here, some javascript there, and some c# as well. In hindsight I think just startingin any language and trying to |ake projects instead of looking for the perfect course and combination would have helped much more.

    I personally like w3schools a lot, they have very concise courses for a lot of languages, and also a reference for most of them so if you don’t want to follow a course you can just look up things real quick and see what happens.
