What programming language should I try to learn first?
I am just learning to program in high school, but I am already learning HTML and CSS and Javascript. What should my next programming language be? I am going to go to college and I would like to start learning my next language now so I can be ahead of things for college. I know that "it depends", but I'm not sure what it depends on, and if I just want the best general option, which one do I start with? #programming #computer-programming #software-development #java #python #ruby
Is it possible to just start computer programing once I start college?
I know it is encouraged to start before you enter college, maybe take a class in high school or use free online resources, but can a person become a successful computer programer. Either having the passion for it or not having a strong passion but being a hard worker. #college #computer #computer-programming
How do I know if I have what it takes to be a programmer?
I think maybe I want to be a computer programmer, and make websites. How do I know if I have what it takes to be successful? I really want to know the truth. For example do I need a certain amount of grades? Or is there something I can do to figure out if I am not good enough? Sometimes people say that you can do anything you put your mind to but is that really true? I can't afford to be a failure, so I really want to know for real if I should try to be a programmer or do something else. #technology #programming #job-requirements
