Programming?

Why bother to learn a programming language?

You are staring at a screen right now and it has been made with such languages. You use it every day, so why not learn a little more about them? They are used in your everyday life and they make it easier for you to do your work, browse on the internet, send an email, etc. They are essentially key to everything we do online, on a computer, on your mobile phone, etc.

Where to start?

If you want to check it out, start by those most used online. There is so much information online that you can easily learn more about them. They are:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

Another language worth starting with for its readability and ease of learning is Python. It is similar to JavaScript in several ways and it is used also in many other fields not related to the web, like statistical analysis,etc. ….. besides you can learn to do some really fancy things with it, and possibly open new job opportunities.

Here is a good place to start with:  https://www.w3schools.com/css/

Otherwise you can look for some courses online: https://www.udacity.com/school-of-programming

As for me, I am going for it.
