Looking at successful programmers, many modern children wish to be like them. Financial prosperity, the possibility of professional growth, interesting projects – all these children’s dreams can become a reality in adulthood if you start training in programming at a young age. But where to begin a fascinating way of knowledge? What direction to choose as a first-priority for learning?
Interestingly, there is no single answer to this question. If you ask ten programmers of different profiles which direction you would advise to train a beginner, each of them will answer differently. Some of them will convince you that only low-level languages allow you to master deeply the IT-technologies. Other programmers will recommend the first to choose a language with a simplified syntax. The choice depends on what the child would like to do in the future: to develop mobile applications, create computer games, websites or work in the field of artificial intelligence.
To create websites
To design a website, you need to learn several languages at once: CSS, HTML and JavaScript. The former is used for the layout of virtual pages and JavaScript is used for media elements (buttons, players, automatic scripts) that make the site “come to life”.
For mobile applications
The choice of programming language is determined by the platform where the application will run. For the development of Android products, you should learn Java. For iPhone and iPad applications are created using Swift and Objective-C. It is interesting that Swift is relatively new and especially for those who want to learn it, Apple experts have created a program for learning in game form – easy and interesting.
Languages with wide application
Python is one of these languages. It is with its use are written programs for modern, large-scale and multifunctional web resources, designed robotic systems. Python has:
- simple syntax and clear structure;
- it is extremely easy to understand;
- Suitable for children as one of the first languages for learning.
On our website Kyle&P programming, Python classes are based on the children’s favorite game, Mynecraft. In the familiar, creative Cubic Universe, kids master Python, build large-scale structures, search for treasures, build cities, and comprehend the limitless possibilities of Minecraft, unavailable to ordinary users.
You can also start learning to program with JavaScript. It is this in their work use more than 70% of web developers and IT-specialists. Java Script is very flexible and has a wide range of uses. It is suitable for writing scripts, sites of different complexity levels, computer games and mobile applications. In short, it is a versatile tool.
But whatever programming language your young lover of computers no matter what he chose as the first to learn, he will definitely want to learn others. Computer technology is interesting because it is actively developing and constantly in need of specialists who know modern, or better – several programming tools.
