Choosing A Programming Language
http://i.imgur.com/5yyAjBd.jpg
## Your first thought on selecting a language is, what do I want to accomplish....

1. Well the easiest language to learn is **Python**, **VB.NET**, **PHP**, **SQL**, and **C#**. These languages will get   you programming within a year for most.
2. The most powerful language is **C++**. This programming language runs on a variety of platforms. 
3. The language that is a must to learn is **Java**.
     Yes, if you're looking for a new career or build any apps, **Java** is it.
4. Looking to build mobile apps: **Java**, **C++** and **objective-C**.
5. Static web pages: **HTML** and **CSS**.
6. Server-Side languages: **PHP, Python, Ruby**.

You can start at any age to learn programming.
There's many more languages that i didn't mention in this short post.
You can find all the languages here on [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages).
Its free to learn, there's plenty of free sites which we have listed below.
[Codecademy](https://www.codecademy.com/)
[Code.org](https://code.org/) 
[Dash General Assembly](https://dash.generalassemb.ly/)
[FreeCodeCamp](https://www.freecodecamp.com/)

@arrowj · 
I have tried several times, and I honestly think I do not have what it takes. Still, what of Apple's new language? Would it better to just learn  Swift at this point and skip Obj-C for the most part?

Yes i would learn swift over obj-c. Learning a language takes time, a lot of practice making small apps helps.

I've been out of the coding world for a while.  PHP is pretty old... how does it stack up against Ruby?

Back when I was in my first year we studied Turbo Pascal as our first programming language and that was ages ago . We even have to design the interface programmatically since visual programming was not yet introduce.

@ungratefulchump · 
I really think you should choose the language that fits your application. I believe you did a great representation of how to choose between the seemingly infinite list of languages. You will also learn a language a lot quicker if your job pays you to code in it. You will be pushed to learn the language and paid to do it. Thank you for your post!

@trevick · 
This, exactly.  A language is a tool like any other. Sometimes you use a hammer, sometimes you use a screwdriver.  

The language is also more than just the syntax (which is the least interesting, but often most obsessed over aspect of a programming language); it is the ecosystem surrounding that syntax, with the libraries written in it and the community using it.  

Knowing Java is great not because the syntax is great (though it's getting better); it has the most libraries developed for it, which means you can build very large scale applications without reinventing wheels.  Ruby has a great ecosystem for design-centric web development.  Python has a great ecosystem with lots of libraries for scientific and numeric processing and so on.  PHP has a great ecosystem for smaller websites, e-commerce, etc.; it's a perfectly decent language for that type of job, but you wouldn't want to try to build an inventment bank's risk engine using it.
