Best start language
Hi guys, I would really appreciate your help, basically I already have a few hours when it comes to HTML CSS and a little bit of Laravel but I would like to start focusing on a language and learn a lot about it because despite knowing how to use Laravel a little, it doesn't give me much code logic and I really need to learn this and I would like to hear your opinion on what would be the best language to give me this knowledge, as it doesn't necessarily have to be in the web area, it can be any language and I have started to have a greater taste in back end parts than front end
Thankss

given you've already done some Laravel: PHP
Or JavaScript
do you recommend some course for javascript ?
to learn the basics
?
assembly
if you plan to go webdev anyway javascript your best bet, laravel is web dev which means you'll need javascript anyway...
if you don't care so much about web dev and just want something to get the basics of programming I'd go for a strongly-typed language like Go it'll give you good habits as to how to write your code and not rely on magic like javascript's type system or lack thereof
From what I've already done, I'm honestly starting to look for something more in the back-end area, but I know that JavaScript was an excellent language to learn the fundamentals, or do you think that Phyton or another would be better?
JavaScript was an excellent language to learn the fundamentalsPretty hard disagree, honestly. JavaScript is unavoidable as a webdev, but it's not a good language to learn programming fundamentals. It's quirky as hell
honestly I find Python even more magical than Javascript and that can form some bad habits, not that you'll be a bad dev or whatever but I'd rather start with something that forces you to be more conscious of your code before you go to the "easy" languages.
it's still fine as a first language though, especially if you're going into webdev, because you are going to have to know it at least a little no matter what, even as a backend dev
but really, for the backend almost any language can be used I wouldn't put any one above the others, you can pick whatever seems interesting there
except python below anything else :Kappa: (this a joke)
the cynical answer btw is "whatever they're hiring for in your area"
also true
soooooo javascript better than phyton to learn ?
sooooo
Javascript will show up when you do anything web dev related, so it's good to learn
Go/C#/Other is good to get a good sense of programming basics like types, data structures, etc. things that are hidden from you when using languages like Javascript or Python
if you have the time...I'd pick a strongly typed language for my first language it'll teach you very good habits, if you don't have the time or are impatient then just go for Javascript
okokok thanks so much for the adviceeee
