C vs Python: Which programming language should you learn first?

Of course, these programming languages are often used by beginner programmers to learn how to code, and it can be kind of overwhelming if you’re a self-learner.

Should I focus on C or Python? Which one, if I learned it first, would put me in the best position for success?

I can say in my personal experience, I learned C first, and then I learned Python. One pro of doing it this way is that when you learn C, you learn the foundations of programming. So, when you learn Python, it’s actually really easy to pick up. Learning Python and then learning C will take more work and you may have to unlearn some bad programming habits.

With that said, Python is also a popular choice for beginner programmers because of its ease of use. Even though it’s easy to pick up, you can still develop meaningful applications.

In this video, I’ll be giving a quick overview of C and Python. Hopefully, by the end, you’ll have a better understanding of the two and be able to make an informed decision on which programming language you should learn first.

Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻🧡
