Start with Programming, where to start?

So you decided to learn programming, but where to start?

With all the languages it can be overwhelming. If you are totally new, I recommend learning Python or Javascript.

This is a collection of resources to help you out. That can be a good starting point, depending on your mode of learning (some people prefer books)

Python

Python is a language that is "easy" for new programmers because of the many introductory resources and syntax.

That said, it will take some time to master if you never programmed before. The language can be used on the Raspberry Pi but also on the desktop computer.

• Python basics tutorial
• More resources for Python

You can also learn from a book/course, I recommend this one.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the language for the web. Every web app uses JavaScript and it's supported by all web browsers.

Both JavaScript and Python work on all computer systems. But JavaScript will run directly with any website you put it on, on every device (including television, watch, mobile phone etc).
