So for about a month now I've been learning Javascript along with CSS and a little JQuery. I'm advancing in that pretty well but as I'm entering my senior year of high school and programming is something I want to do as a full time job I'm going to need to learn other things besides just that. Does anyone have useful advice on what I can start looking into, or if I should even just stay with what I'm doing right now?

 

 

In the end by the end of this school year I want to have a general knowledge of all the major languages that I would need as a programmer. I don't mean just one, like Java, I mean literally THEM ALL as I'd like to help my dad (who's been a consultant for 30+ years) start up a software business and be able to complete any task that a company would give. I know it sounds far fetched but I'm going to put my mind to this and make it a reality.

 

 

Please just leave any advice you have for me

Well, firstly, HTML isn't a programming language. Also, what you are learning now is useful for front-end design. Learn Rails, Python, PHP, Perl, etc.

Isn't Python a little bit old? I could be wrong but I think I heard somewhere that Python was more a of play around kind of language and not actually useful when it came to real world situations.

Learn java. Then you can make bots aswell.

HTML = Hypertext Markup Language

Lol

 

But as for OP:

I'd suggest getting the basic syntax of a common and widely used language, like C++ or Java (both of which have promising futures in the terms of the programming world). After that, you'd better understand other languages and have sort of a base knowledge of what is happening.

It really depends what field you want to get into, because programming encompasses a wide variety of jobs and careers.

 

I'm so happy you are putting your mind to this and making it a reality! All of the power to you!

I'd suggest learning Perl, look it up it's pretty useful. I'll always be happy to help you.

 

Here's a site which is very helpful if you want to learn a language http://www.codecademy.com/

Learning all of them seems like a long stretch, but it isnt. (all major). Go for it, you WILL get a job, you WILL succeed.
pro-tip:

Learn all the major ones before you graduate highschool. You DON'T want to be learning them in university, you want to do math in university.

Thanks for all the tips guys! I'm currently looking around for C++ tutorials as I think getting an understanding of that down will help me with everything else.

HTML is a Markup language it's not considered a "Programming Language" as PHP isn't either when compared to Java or C++

Yeah, note that you said Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is not a programming language. Refer to this.

I guess Google must be outdated then, huh?

you dont need to learn them all, its all about syntax but the logic is always the same thats what makes learning new language so easy when u allready know one of them.

 

HTML isnt programming language its markup language,its just plain text for browsers just like xml

To start programming, learn Turing and Python... Two very easy programs to learn. For example:

 

Easy:

 

Hello World Program in Turing:

 

put "Hello World"

 

Hello World Program in Python:

 

print "Hello World!";

 

Hard:

 

Hello World Program in Java:

 

class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.
}
}

 

Hello World Program in C++:

 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

 

Hello World Program in C#:

 

public class Hello1
{
public static void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
}
}

 

And, that is all of the languages I know

I watched a guide and made a calculator
