Hey Codecademy Users! For those of you that do Python, Ruby, or PHP, which one should I do??
I am almost done with the JavaScript course, (just doing a quick review) then I wanna pursue one of those courses mentioned above. Which one should I pursue?? I would do every single one, but which one should I start with?
It really depends on what you want to do eventually. I recommend learning Python - it’s a great language that can be used to create very powerful (yet easy to understand) programs without that much effort.
What do you want to do eventually with code, though?
They’re all good languages to learn, but I’d go for Ruby or Python, then PHP.
Reasons:
Ruby: Ruby is wonderful for prototyping and has gems as well as rails, allowing for a ton of possibilities.
Python: Great community and support to develop a lot of things, games, web development…ect.
PHP: This language is generally considered bad as far as design goes, and I think is slowly losing popularity.
