I first learned Python. I am learning Javascript now. What I find is that when you learn one, the second one is vastly, vastly easier to learn. Learn the concepts. A lot of it is the same and there is a big overlap in the languages. I think a lot of beginners don't understand this. It isn't like you are learning Japanese and then Arabic. It is more like you learn Spanish and are now learning Portuguese or a variant of Spanish.

[@ronaldinhodoroblox2323]

I think i will start with python and then if i don't like it, go to java. But won't that take a lot of time ? is it worth trying to discover which one is more suited for you?

[@curiouslycurious1]

​@@ronaldinhodoroblox2323 Depend on your purpose, are you trying to learn analytics then python will make sense for you. Are you trying to be a web dev then prob JS is better for you. Should you learn java as your first language? I would say defo nope as its syntaxes are not as understandable as python or javascript. End of the day, if you're a cs student then it doesn't matter cause you''d learn it all. If you're a self learner then chose one that is easiest to understand. After using that "easier" language long enough, the common concept of OOP, and common solution to solve problems like how to sort or what to sort will become intuitive for you. Move to another language afterwards.

[@OpenJavaScript]

I'm slightly biased as a JS educator but I'd recommend it over Python in almost all circumstances. It's the language of frontend web development, can built a backend API with it in Node and other server-side stuff. I'd recommend Pythin first only if someone is interested in statistics/modelling/machine learning.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

makes a lot of sense

[@muharief3885]

Yes, your answer biased really. What to expect from weak designed language like javascript? Hell the language it self lack of standard, if not tiny. If you said for beginner, that beginner person will likely turn back from programing when he tried more javascript. Here some about javascript: 1. The language spec is just tiny on top of libuv c library, thats why the standard library for JS smaller compared to python. People try to add more functionality to the language by adding spec into it, and here they are ES5,ES6,2014,2015 etc etc and so on. Bcose of this, the code can become diverse between one developer to others, sometime this diversity very large and make your code unmaintainable. 2. Like i said before, becoze the language is weak of standard, and didnt designed for large project from the start, the module system become very tricky, and you come up facing into two module systems "csm" and "esm". That alone will confuse beginner. 3. Backend system, have you done large system in javascript backend? Hell, that prototype nature of javascript would make inconsistent code and really hard to find a bug. 4. Typescript will save you, really? That type system makes javascript more like true programming language, but declare type every where will eliminate the advantage of scripting which is easy to write, but why not jump into mature strongly type language which is battle proven like java,c# or else? 5. Most js developer like to debug using console log, to see what value was in some variable. While this is easiest thing to do, but very limited, and debugging nodejs eat memory and slow as hell. 6. Its really easy to write bad code in javascript. Spaghetti code, callback hell , wrong data type, try to type "[] + []" in console chrome, and youll be surprised with the output. 7. Yeah there is some hope, web assembly, finally you can code in any programming language you like and compile it to javascript. 8. Large diversity library, the are a lot of bad npm package, new framework every week, etc etc. 9. "Javascript is a cockroach", try to google it. Python: 1. Beautiful language 2. Good designed from the start 3. Easy and consistent 4. Vast use case 5. Good ecosystem library 6. Acceptable performance For me, javascript for frontend only, bcose i have no choice. Anything else absolutely using python.

I started with C around 15 years ago. If you want a quick start, Python is probably a better option these days. But if you want to have a better understanding of how things work at a lower level without going all out on Assembly, C is pretty nice since you'll eventually have to understand a bit about memory addresses and pointers.

[@BW022]

I started with Pascal. Then C and Basic. Then C++, some Java, finally JavaScript. Of course I'm dating myself as in the business for over 30 years now. However, what surprises me now is how so many programmers is they have no concept of core concepts such as memory allocation, variable passing, order of expression evaluation, etc. because they think the language will do it for them. I remember one COOP student with slow JavaScript code and then I had to explain the difference between a variable and a DOM object. I've had another who complained their Python code was too slow accessing Excel documents only to ask them why they didn't use the VBA built into Excel? There is something to be said about C (or Pascal, or Basic) as a teaching language. Sorry, you need to learn about variable passing, memory allocation, scope, etc. Yes, modern languages will remove the need in most cases, but you at least know what you are actually telling it to do even if a lot of it is hidden.

[@Mario-xk7kh]

[@quelchx]

I personally was a JavaScript/Typescript developer for many years before I was in a situation where I needed to use Python at work. I learned Python in school, but personally, I found knowing JS first made learning Python easier for me. I also say this because I have Python developers at work and they know how to get around JavaScript but when it comes to certain things I find they struggle to grasp things as quickly as I grasped their concepts in Python (their codebases). Like in the video if you grasp one language and understand the majority of programming fundamentals -- you can pick up any language very quickly. Learning different frameworks and libraries within a language might take some time, but that's why we have docs. I say this because I can work my way around 3-4 languages with moderate ease with about 5 years of experience but I tell anyone learning to focus on one language -- get good with it and like I said everything comes easy.

[@JayMaverick]

Ditto. I tried to learn Python as my first language, and yeah I learned the syntax pretty quick. But I didn't understand any of the fundamentals, so it made applying the language impossible. Now I started again, slowly working through HTML and CSS first, then Javascript. Not just learning the syntax, but learning the concepts and how they interact in the real world. I bet learning Python will be a breeze when I get to it.

[@CallousCoder]

Start with actually learning how a system works and that means study hard and learn a low-level language like C/C++ or assembly. The after a year or two you have so much knowledge that picking up these "hobby languages" is a no brainer and you can actually problem solve and write efficient code. People who only worked in a high-level language find it hard (and most fail) to learn a low-level language because they have learned all the wrong things.

[@FreddyDreams]

I'm an intern PLC tech and getting into the data side now , the company uses MQTTFX which is in JavaScript to publish data and Ignition to subscribe to the broker for the data and our Ignition scripts are in Python + Java so this was a very helpful video for me.

[@tonywtyt]

To me, introductory learning in Python and JavaScript are about the same. But, for more advanced purposes, JavaScript syntax can become very crazy, in an effort to reduce the scope of the variables in the browser. Tooling with JavaScript can get wild if you actually want to use Typescript to generate your JavaScript. As you pointed out with languages in general, the are often purpose related. JavaScript is more of web, while Python is most popular for tooling, statistics, and machine learning studies.

[@woodenstick3517]

About this section of the clip I have to disagree 1:20. You can build Android and IOS apps with C# , Java , Kotlin. You don't need specifically Swift for IOS apps.

I enjoy Python for it's ease of use and shallow learning curve. I use JS in my webpages, but now with pyScript, I am using more python in my pages. Yay! But JS is still hugely popular and a must have in the toolkit.

[@Cssaarr]

interesting, however, are there ANY employers asking for people who knows "pyScript"?

[@vanlepthien6768]

As someone who has written code in over 30 languages (at least 10 for production code, including Python and JavaScript), one of the most important attributes of a higher level language is for it to keep the programmer from making "stupid" mistakes. JavaScript is a complete fail by that criterion - it is very easy to write code that runs just fine and does something other than intended. Type conversion is one of the biggest problems - whatever you assume, there is a type conversion that doesn't work the way you think it does. As a result, I have converted one of my projects (which uses front-end code to make state-based updates to the user interface) from JavaScript to Typescript - and have found the number of coding errors that made it to testing decreased significantly. Some implicit type conversions worked just fine, and converting them to Typescript was a pain, but I think it was worth it for peace of mind. JavaScript and its ilk are fine for small projects and Q&D scripts, but I would avoid it like the plague for complex software. A new programmer could easily fall into bad habits. The good thing about assembler is that an assembler program does exactly what you tell it to do, and the number of instructions is limited. A language like JavaScript may exhibit unexpected behavior, because there are many constructs that don't work intuitively. (My intuition is not yours, but considering all the cautions I see about JavaScript, how it behaves does not conform to many people's intuitions.) Arguably worse, C and C++ have undefined behavior in certain, admittedly rare, program constructs.

The popularity and demand obviously depend on the region. In Spain, knowledge of Java, SQL, and Django (not just Python) is high on demand. But you can definitely find a job regardless... it might take longer tho.... Or they might hire you and then ask you to learn a different language xddd that also happens.

[@DrCognitive]

Python is really the best starting language to learn. I'll explain why. It is the closest to regular English you're going to get in a programming language making the syntax, arguably, easiest to learn. Python can be used for web development, desktop app development, interacting with your file system, interacting with websites, developing games, and basically anything else you could or would want to do as a new programmer. Learning to program is more than just learning syntax. I'm fact, that's probably the easiest part regardless of the language. You need to learn how to "think" like a programmer. That's the hardest part. Picking a more difficult language means your brain is fighting a war on two fronts. Learning a foreign language AND learning to think and problem solve complex things differently than you probably ever have in the past. So, you don't want to pick an overly complex language to start with REGARDLESS of your end goals. Do yourself a favor and reduce the amount of combat your brain needs to do.

In my opinion, neither language is best to learn for those who are learning programming for the first time. Languages like C/C++ or Java/C# are better. Either of those four languages will teach the fundamentals of programming in a much more concrete manner as opposed to Python and JavaScript. The former four languages thus allow one to learn Python and JavaScript much more easily when required and also learn programming and computer science concepts more thoroughly.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

yeah this is definitely the counterargument - I'd still disagree, as for most people I think it's more important to learn the high-level logic first before having to worry about low-level detail like in C.

I'm forced to learn OOP using c++ at university. But I have no plans to continue with that language. I want to learn either python or JavaScript on the side. Which is the better choice? I have basic understanding of programming and some object oriented too but without a big knowledge on data structures.

[@osamabarabbaa8170]

this video really helped me a lot to decide.. Lets go Python!!!!

[@godhandinfamous]

keep making videos like this, we will keep watching

[@zardon_zane1630]

I bought a JS course so I'm using Js for now, I already learned C++ in School so I'm on my way to learn jQuery, Angular, NodeJS, I'm interested in machine learning since the AI is getting crazy lately so I want to try Python too...

[@menestrier7474]

I can't make a choice, I'm a system administrator, and I want to leave and work for myself, and not come to the organization. Yes, I know a little about VBA, CMD and PowerShell... And even if I stay, I want to move into a narrower direction, work, or rather create databases with a user interface, for example for competitions, etc., well, I also want to run my blog or website. And if I remain a system administrator, then Python is probably better, but if I work for myself, then JS will most likely be better. And I can't handle two at once. After all, I don't know VBA at a sufficient level either. And if we are not talking about joining an organization, but on the contrary, then it is extremely difficult to make a choice.

Can you create a website, front and back end with python?

[@celestestone]

Best video hands down. Thank you!

[@PedroMesquitadaConceicao]

I would say if you learn C, it's going to be very easy to learn python and javascript

[@zach.intech]

JavaScript you can build mobile and progressive web apps. Python you are limited to backend. I believe JS and TS are the future of web apps. If you like building backend servers and APIS. Go with Java or C#

[@bjmgraphics617]

Python is great for video games and JavaScript was made to make HTML dynamic. There are tons of Python based game engines that has click and drag interface to quickly lay down sprites and backgrounds. Children who wants to learn how to program video games, chooses Python as a friendly language to design their games.

You said that a programming language should be learned well. In this case, which one do you prefer for someone who wants to study software engineering?

[@Mmmkay..]

Although any language can be learned for SWE. Languages such as python, JS and Java have a lot of resources out there that can help guide you.

[@easygamingwwiigamingchanne729]

Javascriptalone mat not be enough. Must also learn html, css, some sql, probably some php eventually.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

why php??

[@easygamingwwiigamingchanne729]

@@InternetMadeCoder realky full stack to avoid relying on soneone else for back end. Php is still widely used despite decline in popularity. This is opinion i heard couple of times from programmers.

[@taz2392]

For my coding journey I was always so confused about the whole JS, Python etc etc. Then i decided HTML / CSS spend a good year on that and try to copy any design into a responsive design. That really gets your mind going and then look at JS.

[@HokageKyubiNaruto]

you shouldn't spend a year doing html / css. Month max.

The beginner should first learn how to get a big problem, break it down and propose a solution. The language is just a syntax issue, wich is very simple to learn.

Learn both as Javascript is everywhere and Python is super powerful and so much nicer than Ruby.

Question. What is frame work and libraries?

[@devonashwa7977]

which ones harder i choose that one

[@mihuhih2186]

for someone who wants to be web developer/frontend/backend/full stack - javascript is better, because it's more related to web (it's everywhere - frontend, backend) and python is not frontend

[@InternetMadeCoder]

That’s what I said

[@jiribrandejs]

I am a beginner. What language should I choose to make a bigger mobile app like the Social Net? Thx

6:10 Wrong there. Node js is not a js framework. It is a runtime environment for js

Saying Python is simple is like saying that being an MMA fighter is simple. It seems easy but you'll likely never master it. However, people that suck at coding at almost every other language will say that it's simple because of it's syntax but that's like saying fighting is easy because it's basically kicking, punching, holding, grabbing, and wresting. Python is harder to learn to GoLang and C.

If you like dot notation for attributes access (javascript style) and you want to use it in Python you should check libraries like Jsify

There's a pip package in python called "javascript" you can use any npm package in python, I'm developing a minecreft bot, and using mineflayer, a javascript package, but I'm using python 🐍

LONG STORY- Back in the early to mid 90’s I was interested in how coding worked. Back then everything basically ran through MSDOS in closed networks unenrolled America Online started giving out free trials, and with them codes, which I was quick to always have a bunch handy for any online activity which if you were a young teen and not a genius wasn’t much, but I taught myself some things in that area. FF the internet is booming companies In the 90’s Napster Started my next venture. 2000-2005 were huge when Yahoo!, MySpace,LimeWire, and then, PirateBay, etc were booming and FB was gaining ground, however it was for college students only. When I realized that I could make my personal MYSpace look and act a LOT differently than everyone else’s if I learned HTML and used it in the “About Me” section, I instantly wanted to learn again. That was my 1st experience with web design. So I learned what I needed that eventually was replaced by apps that you could get to “create your own” MySpace page, and Facebook was starting to take over. For a while I spent any time not working my day job or seeking validation from sexual companions keeping up on HTML, C+, etc. and learning how to manipulate tabs commands and spaces to direct or rdr to other sites, etc. I learned what I felt I needed to keep ahead of most of those I knew, or so I thought. I was involved in the music business but not paying for any music that wasn’t support for a local talent or a friend, but not doing much more than dubbing a tape. No sales. No money made, between connections at parties spinning records and fill in DJ’ing for Philly startup “Rave culture” which was in its infancy in the early 90’s when I got involved and the internet, it afforded me such. I didn’t sell artists’ work and after my 1st letter to imprison or be fined for downloading movies I kept it at least a few steps away and only through trusted sources. I learned what was needed to have what I wanted personally for free, whatever the next big thing was, Internet TV boxes, having music in every shape form and fashion on any device, seeing movies or hearing things that might not hit theaters or the shelves for a week or 2, even a few months, or not at all in some cases. In 2011 I met my future wife, I realized my addictive tendencies overall and lifestyle choices were going to land me in an early grave or in prison. I changed my ways settled down and decided to have kids, but I was still very outspoken on things. I knew that yes there were definitely vulnerabilities to any network or system you have, and after realizing that the #1 cable monopoly in the world, gave every single person who didn’t even know how to access their modem or router the EXACT SAME Username and Password and URL command to access it, but also started to share the signal of that network with passers by that had a login for that company I was outraged. I had gotten a job to do some good and make money at said conglomerate as a “win back rep.” I felt I was doing good for the world bc I made good money on the contracts, and used all the utensils at my disposal to make the sale, saving everyone money, even going as far as to tell them how to beat the system by using the competitors against each other, and knew that could garner some anger from someone… I put up posts informing the “Sheeple” of this a decade before the term “woke” was EVER used in this way. I knew that while a bit far fetched, movies like The Matrix, and later shows like “Mr. Robot” were not only possible but practically 99% probable on every level, aliens may be pushing it but… I mean it’s not THAT far fetched.”, especially not the coding end of it. Everyone swore how safe they were. I felt it was all government propaganda. New mode of control. The new shiny black box in the corner of the room. Still nobody listened. Friends got arrested. Imprisoned. Slandered on social media. At the time I felt it horrific. Starting using a lot of 3 letter words in my posts. On FB. In 2012. Catch words I knew would be picked up on when they were contesting that there was no monitoring other than for “Sales Targeting”. I bought into Apple saying that they were safe, kinda. I felt like I WANTED them to show the people what they were really up to. But nothing seemed to change right away. I wanted to believe Apple iPhones were the safest mobile’s (at the time claiming “Unhackable” as if that’s possible, bc they only accepted software programmed by Apple employees, only used hardware approved by Apple engineers, etc, you remember right? However, by my 3rd iPhone, the iPhone 4, I started seeing inconsistencies in my Usage and Data section, but for someone like myself I knew what to look for I probably didn’t have to worry so much. As I watched our “rights” of privacy and free speech be torn apart more and more, I went from an all-out Social Media junkie to slowly cutting down to just FB, as I realized that the combination of FB, Twitter, FourSquare, and Instagram nobody needed much, I was a walking vulnerability. let pretty much anyone who wanted to know it. By the time I realized someone had taken administration of my entire home network, my bank accounts, all my personal info, not to mention, all of my photos videos and other very private information, I called a friend who was in the business. He told me exactly how screwed I really was. That was 2012. It’s 2023. My wife and have been MARRIED over a decade. My day to day life has never gone back to normal. I can’t get a clean slate it doesn’t seem. I’ll never reach the heights I could’ve achieved. I want to go back into computers. To be able to get a job that I can make enough to pay for my children in a way that I won’t die trying, and be able to help people like me who STILL TO THIS DAY hasn’t seen a green lock on the address bar of his browser. Who can’t buy a phone that doesn’t come with all the prior information of the last one. Who’s life is consistently a million times harder when everyone else’s gets easier with everything being online, always wondering “was my call redirected?”, did I pay the right ticket number? Are all my daughter’s video games just knockoffs? Why does HTTPS not exist unless it’s a false proxy? And if I do decide to try and learn, will they just keep making my life harder every time I try to make something go through properly? I learn some new code- or find a new back door, that browser, that email, that PHONE NUMBER or all the info included need to be dumped right after. Is this FOREVER?
