which language is good for learning as my first programming language

first language for learning programming

I would honestly recommend JavaScript because over the years frameworks and libraries have been created so that you can now create server side applications meaning stored and retrieve data with JavaScript via node.js. And frameworks like React-Native.js let you create smart phones applications for android and iso/apple. You can also now create desktop apps that can run on windows and mac via framework electron.js

Basically JavaScript has gained and become the most use language on the web and on other platforms you can't go wrong learning it plus the demand for hiring JS developers is the highest in the market. But you can always do your research and figure out what you would like to do per-say you want to create cross platform and android applications you can learn JAVA but be warn this programming languages are know as high level languages meaning they need to be compile to machine code so that the computer can understand the commands you have written via source code.

either figure out what you would like to achieve and then look into the languages here treamtreehouse gives you a trailer preview of what the language is or what it does.

thanks for the answer it helped me a lot
