The truth is: the programming language you are going to start doesn’t matter too much. What really matters is to learn the concepts of programming. These are transferrable learnings from language to language and are essential to any programming language.

For starters, these are the programming languages I recommend you to pick:

Python
Python is the most popular introductory
language in the best U.S. universities. Just like JavaScript, Python is also flexible and it’s being used from building web applications to bioinformatics. I strongly recommend you to learn Python, it’s a great language to pick as a starter.

Java
Java is the most used language in the enterprise environment and for years it was the top-1 programming language according to the TIOBE index. Java is strongly and statically typed, which can turn easier to visualize some programming concepts.

As one of the most used languages, you’ll easily find Java courses and guides to help you in this journey. With Java, you can build server-side applications, Android apps and more.

Ruby
Ruby is my favorite programming language. It’s easy to write, easy to read and pleasant to work with. Just like JavaScript, it’s easy to learn but difficult to master. Ruby is widely used by many companies such as Airbnb, EBANX, Shopify, Twitter, GitHub and more. It has an awesome community that’s 24/7 ready to help online.

Ruby is famous by the Ruby on Rails framework, that can help you to build entire web applications with ease.

JavaScript
JavaScript is one of the most flexible programming languages I’ve ever used. You can use it to build console applications, desktop software, mobile apps, front-end development, back-end development and so on! It’s a great programming language and it’s easy to learn but hard to master.

I’d recommend you to learn and master JavaScript, but not as a first programming language. For starters, JavaScript can be hard to debug and it’s difficult to learn some concepts such as asynchronism, prototype, objects and more.

Don’t stick to languages
What you have to do by picking language to start is to learn the programming concepts. When you finish learning, you’ll be capable to learn any other programming language with a smaller learning curve.

Salamat dito ts, from software dev (c#) ngayon inaaral ko ang web dev (html, css, php, javascript) mas in-demand kasi ang job at ito ang technology era ngayon. Totoo yan, once na grab mo na ang concept ng programming hindi ka na hirap lumipat sa ibang language kasi syntax lng ang pagkakaiba nila but the concept is the same.

same tayo kaya lumobo ung programming skills ko 5+ comp languages (VB.net C#.net WPF-C#...Web Programming) na alam ko and sna magamit ko ito sa work immersion.
 
Phyton. It's always recommended because it's easy to learn for someone new to programming. Also, it serves a general purpose. You may start from there. You can do a self-study. But learning a programming language will be easier if you have mentors to guide you. They will help you speed up your progress. You just need to find the best school for you to effectively learn the skills. Here are some schools with great reviews from their students:
