Thank you for your easy to understand explanation of the two languages, you answered so many questions other videos and blog posts could or did not answer.

JavaScript/Node has taken the place of PHP as the most popular language to program, "a horrific, unmaintainable mess that will need to be replaced by something else". With that said, it is the most relevant, wide spread, widely supported language with an amazing amount of support and possibilities. The reason it is more "beginner friendly", is because a new developer can make something that gives them visual feed back faster than Python. This feed back loop obviously increase learning speed because you are "doing" more. On the flip side, the language itself was designed to run inside a netscape browser running on an 30mhz processor from the 90s. I know the temptation is to snap back and say, "but it's not the same as it used to be! it changed a lot!". My response would be "Yeah it has. It's way better than it was!". It being "way better than it was" doesn't make a clean, concise, up-to-date, feature rich language that is fun to work with. It's a horrific language that is just incredibly unpleasant to work with. Obviously someone who started in JavaScript and never "really" learned a second language, they will swear by it, and tell you how much they love it. By "really learned", I mean you have developed full time with it professional by 3 years. I don't mean you took a tutorial, or made some test apps. I mean you really know it on a deep level. By the time you have "really learned" 3 languages.

yep "was designed" .. it's something different today. Well not .. yes .. not .. yes xD Unfortunately they can't just scratch all stupid shit in JS and do it all again with better design, it's just a mash of horrible, normal and excelent ideas in one package. Btw some of original design is very very good, like prototypal inheritance. But the fact Brendan needed to make it "look like Java" was so stupid step aside, it's not designed to be Java and faking it by syntax was one of the worst thing that happened to JS 😢This syntax is not made for prototypal inheritance so it makes everything so confusing and ugly.

You had some good points. I already did 1 year with JavaScript learning the front end. BUT if I had to do it over again. I would have started with Python and Django to learn how backend servers work and how to makes an API request or even make an API and lastly focus on JavaScript for the client side. My personal opinion I think learning the backend first will make you a better developer. I am starting to realize this now. Thanks for the excellent video it was informative.

That makes a lot of sense! Backend gives you a lot of understanding

You had spent 1 years for JavaScript then why you choose python for backend you should go for nodejs

@DevlogBill 8 ай бұрын

@@Royal21798 That is an excellent question. I did this for 2 reason's. The first I didn't want to go down the traditional route which everyone was ding, the MERN stack. Second, I had enrolled into the Meta Backend course because they offered you a private network of looking for work withing their network of associated connections with other companies. But about 1 or 2 months in the whole IT lay-offs HIT and I had already invested time into learning Django a Python framework so I figured I might as well continue with this.

@amadoubass3406 Жыл бұрын

honestly I would start with python until u comfortable in programing and r sure u can move forward with it and then learn a second language based on ur goals/ interest ( if u still aren't sure what area u like more than pick JS to go into web dev as currently its better for job opportunities) , and after getting ur job continue to learn new languages and try out other fields of development maybe learn some ui/ ux design basics and general design basics and some business basics etc

That’s helpful! My goal isn’t get to a job! Just trying to build stuff on the side but this is a good tip. Other option is to do JS for front and end and flask for back end to learn python

As a beginner, i would always pick one of C/C++/Java/C#. They have clean syntax and give good understanding of programming concepts, data types, memory management, etc. I had started with C++, now what benefits me is that learning any language is easy peasy for me. I quickly got grasp on Java, and learned python in literally 2 days.

Makes sense! I think I wanted to start with one of these to go a little faster and didn’t need to know all the super foundational stuff

I want to create a social media platform like Instagram and Twitter but I’m confused as to the programming language to use. I’ve been learning JavaScript for weeks. Decided to take a break and learn python just for some work-related stuff I needed, so I needed a bit of the knowledge and I won’t lie, I enjoyed it more than I did JavaScript 😂😭. And now, I’m confused and I’ve been told that learning two programming languages at the same time is not ideal. But I’m so tempted to keep learning Python but deep down I love everything you can do with JavaScript as a creative like me who likes design and all that. Please help😭 should I just learn both at the same time? 😭

Do whatever feels right! For building websites JavaScript is probably better using React but you could do it with Python and Django as well
