No fluff guide! Concise explanation and opinion on where to start your programming career.

Starting anything can be quite tiresome and feel overwhelming.There are more than 500 programming languages and the demand of each language greatly fluctuates every year or two. Also each of these language usually specializes in one area or another,however few of the languages are very well received by the tech community and caters various needs.I will be discussing specifically these few languages as not only will they be versatile,but also updated and robust.You obviously don’t need to learn all the programming languages listed- pick the one that suits you need and you can learn others if needed.

Before I start listing,I just want to assure you that learning a language first time can be tricky,and understandably so.But,once you are able to fathom the logic and basics of one language,you can carry the same concepts and logic to other languages as well,i.e you just need to get used to the syntax(language writing style) of the second language you learn!
