Explore Limitless Programming Potential!

I know people who are absolutely obsessed with programming languages, you know? It sounds a bit strange, na?

Yeah, it's true. I've been attending a lot of tech and community events. There, I meet so many techies who claim that they only code in JavaScript. They say JavaScript is like their lifeblood and whatnot. But I can't help but wonder, is it really necessary to limit yourself to just one programming language? Why are people so fixated on programming languages instead of focusing on solving problems?

Beginners starting out in the world of programming often get confused, and it's only natural. There are around 8,945 programming languages out there (both active and inactive as of now), and this number is only going to increase in the future, for sure. So, beginners often find themselves in a dilemma, not knowing which programming language they should study or which one has more scope in the future. They may even wonder if learning a particular language, like 'C/C++', will be beneficial in the long run and all.

First and foremost, it's essential to understand that programming languages are just tools. Yes, you heard it right—they are just tools for solving problems. And secondly, every language has its own advantages and disadvantages, so don't think that studying 'C' or 'C++' won't be useful in the future, okay?

Now, here's the most important thing I want to say: if you're studying or planning to study programming and you're at that point where you're confused about which language to choose, here's a tip for you:

Think about what you want to be after studying programming. For example, do you want to become an app developer or a web developer who creates amazing web applications, just like me? 😄

Once you've made that decision, just do some research on Google, read some blogs, or connect with other programmers you may already know (you can always connect with me 💁), and ask them, 'I want to be a web developer or an app developer. Which language should I focus on more? What are your suggestions?' It always helps, trust me. So, don't worry too much about the programming language. Just start, and everything will fall into place for sure.

Remember, 'Programming Language is Just a Tool for Solving Problems
