Changed my mind about starting with Python
I was sure you had to begin with something like C to really get how computers work. Then I watched a free course on YouTube that built a simple game in a day, and it just clicked. What's a good second language after you get the basics down?

Yeah I used to be in that same camp about starting with C. I mean it makes sense in theory but actually building something you can see right away is way more fun. For a second language maybe try JavaScript if you want to do web stuff, or stick with Python and go deeper into it. Honestly you can't go wrong either way once you get the basic ideas down.

My first year of coding was all C and it was brutal. Cameronmurray is right that seeing results quickly keeps you going. That instant feedback loop makes a huge difference for beginners.
