Which Programming Language To Learn First?


Being called a programmer sounds cool. And to be called a programmer you need to learn a programming language or programming languages. But which programming language should you learn first to be called a 'Programmer'?

Which Programming Language To Learn First?

Before asking this question, you should be clear about which programming field you want to enter. For example, If you want to become a web developer then you should learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript, PHP, Python, etc programming languages. If you want to make games and become a Game Developer then you should C++,  if you want to make an android app learn Java, Kotlin, etc.



If you are asking for programming in general like you just started programming and wanted to know the concept of programming then my recommendation is to learn C, Java, JavaScript, etc as your first programming language. If you asked me my first programming language, then it was C language. Back in 2018, I started learning the C language through the Internet, Book Called (Let Us C) to get the concept of programming. And C language really helped me to get the basic concept and knowledge of programming, and how programming works. It has helped me to easily learn other programming languages as well. I remember when I switched from C to learning JavaScript, it wasn't that hard. I learned JavaScript in a matter of 2 months because I had the concept of programming because of the C language whereas it took me almost a year to learn the C language.
If you gain the concept of programming by learning any language that covers all the basic programming concepts then it would it easy for you to learn any programming language. I am not saying you should start with only C language. No, I am saying my story. If you want to understand programming concepts and want yourself to be called a programmer then you should start learning a programming language that covers all the basic programming concepts. Those programming languages that cover all the basic programming concepts are C, C++, Java, JavaScript, etc. Start with any one programming language and later you can decide in which programming field you want to go and learn those programming languages required in that field.

10 AI Coding Tools That Actually Made Me a Worse Programmer (2025 Edition)

Image
You know how everyone’s been raving about AI coding tools lately? Like, “Oh my God, Copilot wrote my entire app!” or “This tool saved me hours of work!” Yeah, I was one of those people. I jumped on the bandwagon hard, like full-speed, no seatbelt, straight into a wall kind of hard. And don’t get me wrong, AI coding tools can be incredibly helpful. But somewhere along the way, I realized something unsettling: they weren’t always making me better. In fact, some of them were slowly turning me into a lazy, confused, over-dependent mess of a developer. This is my honest take no, sugarcoating on 10 AI coding tools that, despite the hype, actually made me a worse programmer. Not because they’re bad tools (they’re not), but because of how they subtly warped my coding habits, critical thinking, and even my confidence. Buckle up, this is gonna get a little personal. 1. GitHub Copilot – The Genius That Made Me Dumb Let's start with the king of them all: GitHub Copilot. I’ll admit it, t...

Ethical Hacking with AI: Automating Penetration Testing Using Claude and Gemini

Image
Let’s talk about something that sounds a little intimidating at first, ethical hacking, but once you get into it, it’s actually one of the coolest parts of cybersecurity. And guess what? Artificial Intelligence is jumping into this space in a big way, and tools like Claude from Anthropic and Gemini by Google are flipping the script on how penetration testing (or “pen testing,” if you want to sound like a pro) is done. It’s not just about manually scanning ports or exploiting flaws anymore now, you can automate a ton of it, thanks to AI. So, if you’re a curious techie, a budding white-hat hacker, or someone who just really loves when computers help fight the bad guys, you're in the right place. What Exactly Is Ethical Hacking? Before we even get to the AI part, let’s just clear the air on what ethical hacking actually means. When people hear “hacking,” they immediately think of some guy in a dark room trying to steal your credit card info. Ethical hacking is the exact opposi...

The Secret Formula to Grow as a Programmer

Image
Programming is not just a skill; it’s a journey. Whether you’re starting from scratch or have some experience under your belt, growing as a programmer is about more than just writing lines of code. It’s about mindset, discipline, and continuous learning. If you’ve ever wondered why some developers seem to progress faster than others, there’s a reason—it’s not just talent; it’s a formula. Today, we’ll break down the secret formula to grow as a programmer. 1. Embrace the Beginner’s Mindset Every expert programmer was once a beginner. Accept that you won’t know everything and that learning is a continuous process. When you approach coding with curiosity rather than fear, you’ll be more open to learning new languages, frameworks, and technologies. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes—because mistakes are powerful learning tools. 2. Master the Fundamentals First Before diving into complex frameworks or libraries, ensure you have a strong grasp of the fun...
