What Coding Language should I start with? • page 6/6 • Off-Topic Discussion • lichess.org

@mysterious_expert everything is possible but I'd suggest you finally start, because programming is very time consuming ^^ The more you write here the less you code :3

@BossOfBosses Agree. It is fun. But you can't do as much on websites as with C++ or other languages. Also pure html isn't really programming as long as you don't use javascript, jquery and php. And those aren't that easy.

I recommend you to use "sublime text" @mysterious_expert instead of notepad, notepad or notepad++ can also be used, but I have seen a lot of programmers use sublime text, myself I use sublime text, just that I have colors seen on my codes lol. Maybe that's the reason why a lot of programmers use sublime text

The thing with python is that it is as easy or as hard as you want. Its simple enough to make a loop or a function, but if you start making learning AIs and using pandas right away of course it will be too much. I can say i knew nothing of programming when i used python for the first time, made a game of Picross for my first college project, it was simple enough. Three years laters I was using python again to create a bayesian network, and yes, it was hard.
Im not informed about scratch though, so it can be a good choice to start.
Also, lots of free courses online, no need to pay unless you want a diploma at the end.

@mysterious_expert There is a free course on python in udemy. Also, I suggest you use repl.it for python. While python is a dynamic programming language (meaning no compilation needed), things like repl.it simulate it because you write all your code before running and repl.it points out syntax errors in code before running. Don't use notepad++, just keep it simple and use repl.it.
