// Can I start with Java as my first language?

i've never learned programming before. Is it ok to start with Java, or shall I start with something else? HTML?

you definitely can start with whatever language you want since in Sololearn, you start with basics, regardless of the chosen language.

html is a markup language. if you want to know that, that's the way to go. if actual programming is your goal, Java is a bit difficult, but certainly doable. personally I would recommend Python to learn the basics. all programming languages work on the same concepts. loops, variables, arrays, input, output.. Python helps make these things understandable. once you have the basic concepts down it is easier to learn new languages as it becomes more syntax adjustments than anything. example - Python- name=input("Enter Your Name - ") print("Hello " + name) Java- import java.util.Scanner; Scanner n = new Scanner(System.in); name=n.nextLine(); System.out.println("Hello " + name); These accomplish the same thing, but as you can see Python is both faster to write and easier to understand.
