Topic: Start with Python or C? (Read 203 times)
You should start with C language because its the basic programming language
When it comes to computer programming and software engineering, the language is not important. Many newbies always ask "Which language is best?" etc and there is not one single answer. The most important thing is just starting to program and learning how to solve real-world problems, starting with easier tasks and progressing your way up as you learn the syntax and different problem-solving techniques.
However, I'd say Python is one of the easiest languages to start off with and learn, it's also quite versatile and can be used for web apps, scripts, software, IoT, data manipulation/analysis etc. C is a lot harder, but definitely worth learning at some point because it's used in many applications and software around the world. C is crucial from Linux to 3d game engines.
I highly recommend both languages, but Python is definitely the 1st choice for beginners.

My friend is an IT programer. He advise me that Python is easy for a newbie or amateur. You can try it.
Im dont really know much about this sphere, but I do have some friends that earn money with programming and all of them say that Python is the best language to start with.
Python of course. It is easier and it is more adopted especially in the crypto space where you can get job opportunities in the remote field.
Yeh, and the beauty of javascript is that you can instantly run it to see if you got it right, no need to worry about compiling and linking and so on.
I double Javascript, both Python and C are too specific now, and lose their applications. I'd say they both are outdated and some of the worst languages to begin with.
I'd start with Javascript these days.
go for python, its more simpler in syntax than c and would give you more progress and experience since it is of wide use today.
Python would be best to start with, it is higher level language, so easier to use
NOTE: since 2009 it is the language taught for Intro Programming course at MIT

Python is THE easiest language to learn. It's also a great language on it's own, and immensely popular.
What's more, once you understand the fundamentals of computer programming through your study of Python, it will be easier for you to learn the other languages, including C and C#.
Also, keep in mind that GoLang is another upcoming computer language, that'll serve you well. But, first, Python!

C fosho, you need to know the basic building structure of programming and it takes you through data structures and makes you understand things which you directly use by importing packages in python.
U mentioned the word "Beginner". Beginner would never know where to begin from. U usually need an expert
I Think Try The Python, My Programming Life Start on Right a Python Code!
Python. Easier but also way more widely adopted
Definitely Python. Those few friends who work on C are already consider to move to something else since the platform has no future.
1. There is no possibility to work in the most perspective directions: machine learning, IoT, big data, scientific computing.
2. The percentage of vacancies is decreasing.
3. Microsoft. If tomorrow decided that Azure on other platform will be sold better then .net will be forgotten.

I deeply regret not starting out with C.
If you can find any project which is best served with C, I'd suggest to start out there. Or with some other 'difficult' system language. Unfortunately Python and the higher level languages are a better choice for the vast majority of tasks.
I am very thankful that I started out learning a little 6502 assembly way back before the earth stopped cooling. I've forgotten it all and never used it extensively, but understanding things down at this level makes one both appreciate and understand more readily some of the mysteries of the higher level languages.
Best of luck.
If you were a total newbie at programming and wanted to start somewhere, would you begin with Python or the C programming language? Why?
i not pro, and not total newbie. C is very hard language (very specific). Its not for newbie. Even c++ not easy for newbie. Python looks more easy, especially django or another framework.But at first need choose, what you want: write mobile app, web sites, system programs... etc.
