Tim: C is not beginner friendly My University's first programming study unit: "Programming Principles in C" 😂😂😂

[@vaelinalsorna1649]

The C universities' teach as intro to programming is pretty easy tbh and teaches you what actually happens under hood like dynamic memory allocation. I do recommend though that anyone serious about taking CompSci at Uni should learn some programming beforehand. Just makes it immensely easier and puts you ahead of your peers.

Great video, very informative and concise, however one suggestion. For a couple of the languages you listed, particularly some of the older/less recommended ones (the section on PHP as an example), you suggest using "other" options instead. Would be helpful in the future if maybe you listed a few of those options as well just to point ppl in the right direction. Again, enjoyed the video and appreciate your sharing it.

[@horridohobbies]

I like Go. Of your list, this is the language I'd choose *if I didn't have Smalltalk* . It's fairly simple and easy to learn. It's fairly versatile. By the way, the language I have the most experience with is C. I was a systems programmer for ATI Technologies (now AMD), now retired. I built my career on C. So this should give you some context for my comment.

Number 10, always start with number 10 in a top 10 video!

[@ahmedrobi6507]

why

[@stsam63]

My College teaches C++ first then a bit of Java and I think that is why there are not very many people that like the beginner courses. If they taught something like python first I think everyone would love programming at least a lot more. Python makes it so easy to automate small things in our lives that we wouldn't know otherwise

[@hypermeero4782]

No… if they taught them python at first then moved to java or cpp they would still hate it anyways. Whoever isn’t ready for cpp or java then it does not matter the order he starts to learn

[@notproplayer3649]

@@hypermeero4782 depends, the first language I learned was python and I learned it in my spare time, pretty easy learning curve I'd say, then university started and we had to learn c++. The thing I noticed was that all of the people who knew any kind of programming language had a much easier time with c++, at least in the first semester, than the people who never coded before. Mainly, I do believe that learning any kind of programming language makes you think somewhat more as a "programmer" and gives you more intuition when writing code (i.e knowing how to code simple algorithms). So in that regard, python does smooth that learning curve when learning c++, that doesn't mean that c++ isn't hard, it definitely is, and it is a language that indeed goes very deep. We pretty much learned that by the second semester which went much more in depth on the c++ language itself as opposed to "programming and the c++ language" we had during the first semester. By that time, the difference with those who had learned any programming language before and those who didn't wasn't that noticeable anymore and we all pretty much suffered if I may say so myself.

[@scout1018]

My college did something similar a couple years ago the intro class involved like a end level course of c++ and so the drop out rate was something like 50% until they changed it

[@luqmanhamdan9285]

current languages very little life span-unless google makes it the standard for something-look at some of the other older languages which many legacy applications still run on..Java, Javascript, C and C++ C# will always be used because of how close they are to assembly code-well mostly C and C++ would be the closest to assembler

How do you figure out which software development path you want to take if you’re unsure?

[@raahimfareed]

PHP isn't even that bad, it has a bad rep because of the versions of PHP (4, 5 etc). PHP after PHP7 is pretty good actually. The only downside of PHP is that it can't really be used for anything other than web dev, that being said, most of the web servers even as of today are using PHP Backends and because it's so widely used in web servers, PHP servers are often cheaper than other options.

I know its hard to understand, but if you read carefully what do people said/teach you when you are learning it from a app, a web, video or from a school and try doing it by yourself to practice. What I mean is C++ is *not* really hard for beginners if you do what I said.

Python is now supporting gradual typing, hence large scale projects are less a hassle... funny is that type annotations are more advanced than regular static typing in other languages ;-) function definition for instance: def send_email(address: Union[str, list[str]], sender: str, cc: Optional[list[str]], bcc: Optional[list[str]], subject='', body: Optional[list[str]] = None ) -> bool:
