Which of the languages should I learn?

Question

I am new to programming,but already addicted to learning programming that sometimes I forget I haven't eaten. I'm interested in web design but a friend told me to go for Java, C++ and likes because am good in maths. Now am really confused on what to go for. What do you recommend?

Answer 1

Since you are interested in web designing, go for HTML, CSS as well as Javascript. PHP is a good choice, SQL is optional as it may not be related most of the time depending on what you are doing.
C++/Java... can be useful if you want to run even more advanced stuff on your webpage. But I would recommend C# as it is simple to use and can help you to run advanced stuff on your webpage.(I mean nearly all does the same work, but why take a machine gun just to kill a chicken?) But remember that you also need to learn how to integrate those C++/C#/etc codes into HTML.

Answer 2

Most of the people I have met would recommend starting off from C++ due to it being a relatively low-level programming language, which will make the process of learning other languages easier in later days. No matter what you would want to specialise in, picking up C++ is a great choice. HTML and CSS can always come later once you have a good grasp of it.

Answer 3

HTML of course, web development doesnt do much with C++ anyway unless you plan to integrate it or something.

Answer 4

If you are interested in web design you will need HTML+CSS+JavaScript+PHP. If you want to programme games then go for C++.

Thanks for the answers. Which of them should I start to learn now, HTML or C++?
