Learning to code can be overwhelming at the start. Information overload has played both ways—it has made resources accessible to everyone, but at the same time, it has made choices more complex than ever. There is an abundance of programming languages available in the market. This makes the choice the hardest for beginners. Where do you start from? C? Python? Java? The list is endless. The decision is also of high importance since your first language carries the power to define your career. That's why, in this blog, we'll discuss the five best and easy programming languages to learn for beginners.
Python is placed at the top of the list because it deserves that. It is one of the most popular modern languages, the syntax for which is the closest to English. This is also one of the only languages closest to the libraries and frameworks used in the real-world industry. It's a matter of roughly 15 days after you understand the basics of programming to master your hand at it. The language is used across artificial intelligence (AI), data science, web development, and automation scripts.
JavaScript is what most of the web is built on. The website you visit whenever you have any questions, Google, was built on Java. Netflix, your big-time entertainer, was built using Java. Need a job as a web developer? You have to use Java-based LinkedIn. That's how largely Java is accepted in the industry. One of the reasons for its broad use is that Java powers interactive websites that run on almost every browser. The language can be used for both front and backend (with node.js). Some use it for game development, too. Just look up some tutorials and see your website getting built live.
Scratch is the programming language for children. This means beginners who do not understand coding can also play around with it. The MIT-developed language is based on building blocks—you connect the blocks (that's the code), and the action is performed. No writing required; just drag and drop! Scratch is the best language if you are looking to learn logic and focus on the fundamentals—like loops, conditions, and variables—without worrying about whether you missed a semicolon or not.
Ruby language is like the gemstone—simple and elegant. It was built to be beginner-friendly and straightforward while preparing the learners for industry-standard tasks. The implementation language for Ruby is C, so you know you are actually learning something impactful. Ruby helps you build functional web applications quickly with Ruby on Rails, operate backend services, and prototyping.
C# (pronounced as C-sharp), a Microsoft-developed programming language, is the conventional entry point into the programming world. If you find software development and Unity games interesting, C# is just the language for you. Since it's an object-oriented language, the language prepares you for the industry. If you know how to set up IDEs like Visual Studio Code (VSC), you can start coding in C#.
That was a short coding language thesis. Choosing a coding language that aligns with your interests is so important because that's preparing for your career. We discussed the five best programming languages for beginners. What is left is action from your side. Pick one language that aligns with your interests, learn about it deeply, and start building. Once the fundamentals are clear with any language, it becomes easy to switch to other languages because the fundamentals remain the same. Welcome to the world of programming: Hello, World!
