What Programming Language Should I Learn First?
TLDRThe video discusses what programming language beginners should learn first. The narrator recommends Python or JavaScript as good options that are in-demand, useful for building things, and relatively easy to learn. Python is better for back-end development involving data analysis and machine learning. JavaScript is better for front-end web development, combined with HTML and CSS. Ultimately the choice depends on one's interests and goals - building logic-focused programs and services with Python or visually-focused websites and apps with JavaScript.
