Learn what your target market wants. At uni they gave us C++, and tiny bit of C#, I now work as mobile apps dev using Java, Swift and Objective-C because my target market requires those languages. Learn whatever you want for your own projects
For example I've seen devs that work on VB.Net but can do ReactJS, PHP and Java for their freelance or personal projects.
Bottom line, where do you want to work? Learn their language then learn other languages, never stick with one as market always changes. -
gjkf11357yFirst of all, welcome to devRant!
Then, I'm 18 years old and know Java some PHP and JS and other languages. At our universities (Italy) don't really focus on a language, it's much more theory.
I know what I'd like to do: DataScience. That means R, Python and neural networks. At the university here DS is for the last 2 years, before I'd have to study Statistics or Mathematics.
What I'm here to say is: learn what you like. You like data science? Learn those languages. Web development? JS, HTML, CSS and PHP. You like software development? Oh that's an entire field.
Follow your interests and try new things! You are still young and have the freedom to do so. -
sam05927yLanguage doesn't meter (depend on what you aime to do), what metters is that you understand how and why the language you are learning / working with works. In the lowest level all languages mean the same thing, just some basic maths in some specific places. Unless you want to be a web developper, then continue python. Else if you want to do something else then `C` type languages are always helpful, beside python is based on c and cpp has many resemblance to c so it won't be that hard to catch up (depend on how deep you understand python / php), but java is totally fucked up so good luck 😜

Drakoxx137yThanks for all the answers, I'll keep in mind those advices from you.
@gitpush Personally i'd want in software development but at the same time I'd like to make some apps. So.. I ll probably continue with the basics of C++.
@gjkf That's a little bit harder, like I said, I'd like to do more.. I'll try focus on software dev for now..
@Alt-Grrr For sure, I ll not leave the Python, but for now I should focus for C++. It s very easy to understand things in Python. php was the first language that I've learned, and probably the last for web development.
@sam0 I dont want to go with python (django) in web development, it s not for me. -
pandeyak697yJust follow your heart man..just make sure whatever you pick up you're fluent like your mother tongue..going forward you'll realise getting skills is more necessary than anything else.
Keep pushing and don't let yourself get stagnant.
Best of luck! -
Drakoxx137y@jeffalyanak
Yea, but right now I'm in high school. At university I'm "forced" to learn these languages. For e.g: I can't study python at university, it's not in their schedule. -
sam05927y@Drakoxx LOL , well buddy you are gonna have to learn liek the most of the others , by yourself.... just tell your self that you have to achve a certain goal and go toword it. If you liek programming applications and shit and you are 16 then dont expect much from school, they will show you the way sure but it wil lallways you who has to follow. you can show your self way too. jsut make "anything" (i say anything because sometime people can get lost in thaught of making something useful and they jsut cant find at the moment) and share with the worl, learn frompeople, when they say it's good then ask them why it's good, or if they say it's bad then learn from thm why it's bad and correct it. The only hard part in this is the motivation, but if you think you truely liek it then it doesn't metter , you will continue. Just grab a book or something, learn and hack, try to go farther evry time. i know it's easy to say but way to hard to do, but i'm talking from experience so understand.

SSDD47597yThe answer is:
Don't go to uni. Get a shit part time job and spend the 4 years you would have been at university, teaching yourself.
If you really stuck to that then you would be a much better developer than if you go to school.
So, right now I'm 16 atm I know some basics of php,python but I love Python more than php. So my question it's:
Most of the universities in my country for computer science, are based on java, c++ and some another stuff.
What should I do? Should I start learning C++ / Java or continue using python?
