   I started with HTML and CSS to get my brain into the programmer mindset, then JS, and now I’m learning Python. I hate JavaScript because once I got into the advanced bits it made me demotivated and want to quit learning programming. However JS helped me learn Python at a much faster rate since…

    Your chances of getting a job with Udemy certification is the same in the 1st world as it is in the 3rd because Udemy certification isn't a recognised thing. You can get a certificate from most Udemy courses just by clicking through and doing relatively nothing which is why they hold no value to…

    From my experience as someone also fairly new to programming there's two main approaches you can go down: * I want to write code quickly and get some cool results - If so I'd recommend Python * I want to learn everything and be a master of the subject - In which case learn C++ with a decent…

    I second this. Buy a course from Colt Steele or Brad Traversy. I am self-taught and I have bought a ton of Udemy courses to learn. These two people are some of the best teachers on there.

    u/needhelpcantgetright Don't feel ashamed, it doesn't matter where you are on your journey. Before I jump in, I want to say that we feel most unhappy when we set future notions of ourselves in a specific, static, romanticized sense. As if life works that way.
