Python or JavaScript - Which One Should YOU Learn?

My advice is learn both. Learn python first. Before going to JS

Your speech is very liked to me. I 100 percent agree with you. Thank you bro.

When choosing a programming language to learn for a career path or career change, the first thing you should do is ask yourself: do I have the necessary background for a job that requires technical skills (which can be self-taught) and professional experience in a similar context, or can I also apply for jobs with academic requirements? There's no use in starting to learn Python to become a Data Scientist if you don't have a Master's degree, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Statistics, Math, etc. In such cases, your academic qualifications will determine if you'll get the job or not. Knowing Python and/or being willing to learn languages/scripts that are necessary for the job would be a big plus, but not the main requirement: companies know/assume that someone with a Ph.D. or Master's degree will be able to pick up the necessary parts of the required programming language in a reasonable amount of time and at a sufficient level. On the other hand, it won't be easy or might even be close to impossible for a self-taught or bootcamp programmer to achieve the academic level of knowledge and mindset without going to college/university.

In short: if you are academically qualified, you can pick any programming language based on your interest (front-end, data science, machine learning, software engineering, etc.). If you have only self-taught and self-acquired technical skills, then pick a programming language for positions that ask for professional experience and specific technical skills, without necessarily requiring an academic degree.

Keep in mind that no matter what language you pick—especially as a beginner—don't mix but specialize in one. Absolutely, there are companies looking for candidates specialized in that language. However, there are none looking for someone who has only scratched the surface of three languages but can't do anything worthwhile in any of them.

This is my personal opinion, looking from the EU-market perspective.

Hi
I worked for html and css. What should I choose Java or Python? Thank you

I like python and c#. Js sucks lol

Yup. Just learn a programming language. That will make it a whole lot easier to learn another programming language. there is no BEST programming language, it's just that some programming languages may be better suited to the project you want to work on.
JavaScript is being used for a lot more than front end web development. With nodeJS and Dino you can just as easily do back end web development as well.
Adobe uses JavaScript as its in-application scripting language, and Apple offers it as an alternative to AppleScript for system automation.
Python is the in-application scripting language for Blender.
My favorite programming languages are C and Perl. 
C for small and fast programs, Perl for easy and data-intensive programs. Nothing compares to Perl's Regular Expressions for slicing and dicing data.
JavaScript (like AppleScript) has a lot of LISP-like features so you might want to take a look at Scheme or Guile after you learn JavaScript.

Thanks for actually saying React is a framework. It makes you write JavaScript in its own convention. It might not be as strict as Next but it’s a framework nonetheless because you’re coding JavaScript differently

I am interested in cyber security,I was wondering which code I should learn....

Man I wish I had any of your intelligence and charisma.... Big thanks for sharing.

I suggest learning HTML and CSS then learning JS as JS loads into browsers

getting into coding for the first time, this video helped alot. im choosing to with python for now.

My question is how to determine what you are best suited for in this field? Can you be tested to see what you're most suited for?

I hope javascript get some love in IA department one day.. I hate python I just like Javascript and java more

100 programming languages? Why not only one?
I built usmXX as an Operating System for managing any informational problem. The system is based on only three concepts: Parameters of the problems, Subjects (not objects!) and the Informational Individuals!

Solid video.

With javascript you also have to learn some html and css

Once tou learn any lanfy, you will pick rhe other ones very quickly... At least for most task... I started with very little C++ then tony python, after that extensive JavaScript (jQuery and angular), some java and now back to C++ (unreal engine) and the transition was always smooth... I am not a specialist but everything i need to do i managed to do it. I am not looking for a job, i am more of an entrepreneur

Very useful ❤
Thanks

both

Both

Both if you want to have a chance at getting a job😢

Kotlin

Hm. I'm old and crotchety and learned JavaScript when all it did was muck around with the DOM. I don't want it on the server side, so I would use Python for server-side code (unless I used PHP, instead). When I want a language for desktop applications, I wouldn't turn to Electron and all that extra overhead when I could just use Python with Qt or other full-featured GUI libraries.

I understand the urge to try to equivocate and wave hands and say, "No language is better than another it's all what you want to build with it" but I don't believe that's a reflection of proximate truth so much as an expression of a prejudice toward conflict avoidance.

In my opinion, if you're starting with JS, it's probably the wrong choice. Either you are doing things you could be doing better in python or you are doing things you have no business in doing if you don't already know python or programming languages in general

As a gigachad, im learning both 🗿

Thank you!

in reality all languages is total BS.....this is way there is many BS languages outhere ....

I'm interested in server architecture/development, cybersecurity and Linux administration. So I guess sticking with Python for the near term works out best for me.

Although I knew the basic differences between the two, your explanation gives a more nuanced understanding. It's really encouraged me to keep on pushing with Python. I guess I didn't realize just how similar they are as well. This is excellent! Thank you

great video

I would not compare python and js, but python and typescript. this is much closer to reality

Lets give our lives To The LORD JESUS CHRIST Amen

I watched the video, thought about it, and I still want to fall back to C#. I really don't know why my brain does that. Maybe I'm in an abusive relationship with C#.

In reality you don't have Ben have a choice. Js is really overrated mainstream pushed language. 99% of all volubility's you can find exactly in js. Because Google and Facebook is pushing in the pants so hard to put thi language in every single video like nothing else exist it make your choice easy. Wanna learnt how to program learn Python. Wanna get job just js. Doesn't matter in what language they will gonna look for programer you will be forced to do js all day anyway. Each country is probably different, but that's how it works in most EU country's

None. Just learn how to prompt A.I

Jython

Is using libraries like Flask good with Python as a replacement for JS?

I am a web developer in php. Mostly i worked for backend. The only problem in JS is i struggle to find the exact issue or bug while working with JS. N i am not good in frontend design. Should i go for JS or i should go for python?

In light of recent AI development quite possibly best option is to learn prompt engineering :)

Well, after installing latest Python version (3.12.2) I got none of my Python-environments back working again. So, let’s get rid of Python, pip, and so forth…

Isn't there something called pyscript to create interactive websites without using javascript?

I have used many of programming languages in my career but after settling in data management and analytics path there are only two relevant languages I use SQL and Python. Never ever had to use anything else except maybe some basic DAX. So it is 70% SQL, 25% Python and 5% anything else.

Given the general uses of both languages I would recommend both honestly. If the question relates to career path, the more you know the more enticing you're going to be to prospective employers.

Learn Both

What about HTML and CSS?

Thanks for the guidance. I've been wondering which one to learn first, but I think with this, I can now decide which of the two programming languages to choose first.

Both

hello TIM do you know about ODOO frame work please give me information if you know about it
