Hey everyone! I’m completely new to coding and really excited to start my learning journey. There are so many languages and resources out there that it’s a bit overwhelming? I’d love to hear your suggestions!

with regard to languages:

-To learn try something easy and well structured as Pascal or Ada. Those languages will teach you organization and well structure code. C family of languages are extremely loose and vague, avoid them if possible.

-After learning the basics go for python if you like data science or machine learning.

-Go for javascript if you plan to do frontend with react or just web development.

-Go for rust/ada for system programming.

-kotlin or dart/flutter for android. Swift for Apple systems.

-C# or lua for game programming.

Thanks for the detailed suggestion
shell scripting is also an option
Don't write shell scripts. Friends don't let friends code in *sh.
I hope they will not consider this as a spam.
