Jason’s Answer

There could be a laundry list of programming languages and technologies that could be listed here but that wouldn't necessarily be helpful. To get an entry level programming job you will need to show several things. Skill in the technology and programming languages that that company is using. Willingness and commitment to learning and improving. Showing initiative that you can do things on your own and knowing how to troubleshoot problems. Also Companies are looking for employees that can work with others so it is very important to know how to be team player.

From a technology stand point start with a language or two and do several projects. Then expand and create more complex projects and add in new technologies or languages. In the end you don't want to learn just 1 or 2 languages as your career will be solely tied to the adoption of those languages. You want to learn how to learn new languages and then use what language is relevant to your needs at the time. This will ensure long term career success.

For a starting point I would suggest going online and looking up tutorials. There are several free options available and lots of videos on YouTube.

If you need a suggestion to start with. Learn HTML, CSS, and Java. HTML is the language for displaying webpages, CSS is how those pages are styled and Java is a great powerful, versatile and yet beginner friendly language. After learning some basics with those you might think about doing a project that leverages them and add in JavaScript. That said if you want to learn different ones that is fine too. Good Luck.
