What programming language should EE's learn first?

Parents

  • I have been self-teaching myself programing languages for about 9 years (Since I was 14) and I started with what I believe was the easier of the languages first and then slowly went down the list.

     

    HTML, CSS, PHP, Java/ Javascipt - I started off with these because they are all pretty simple and easy to learn. All of which are also used in web development. I started with HTML and CSS first because I believe they are the easiest to learn and both are great languages for anyone to first start off with. I then went on into PHP, Java and Javascript. Java alone is used in so many different applications that it is almost a must know.

     

    Python, C, C++ - Like Java, C and C++ are used in so many different applications they are almost a must know, albeit in my opinion they are a little more difficult especially if you are self taught like myself. I included Python with C and C++ because I started learning these three pretty much around the same time because of Linux. Although other languages are used with Linux, these three are the main ones.

     

    BASIC - I don't really want to talk about BASIC.

     

    Other, there are so many other languages out there that "other" is a lot easier to use, rather than listing them all. This list in this poll pretty much covers the most common programming languages however, so I won't really go any further into which ones I have learned.

    Very good and from a self taught expert, also. Python should be separate since it can be interpreted line by line. It even alows display of computed values without Print statements.

    Just my two cents worth
