Comment on Which programming language should I learn first?parent

Comments

Agreed, you were wiser than I was: I read it in full, I paste the comment I wrote there:

<<I see Stephen already made my point: Since when C++ is a Microsoft product? You're thinking about C#, I guess.

Also, HTML (unless you add CSS3) is not a programming language. MySQL is not a language, it is a tool. The language is SQL (again it is not technically a programming language, although I think it is Turing complete, but don't bet on it). Jquery is again not a language, but a framework over JavaScript, and ECMAScript is the proper name of Javascript. The "similar thing" that Adobe Flash has is ActionScript.

If you don't learn JS first, Jquery will make very little sense. And no, it is not really that close to Java. As for "Wordpress and the others using the old languages", seriously? I don't know exactly about Wordpress, but Python and Ruby are really big out there.

Cheers,
