So, I've begun exploring into different programming languages. Not enough to learn quite yet, but to see what the difference is. I'm far enough in to see that yes, there are major differences yet some basic, fundamental similarities. After doing hours of research about 'where to start first' I've heard both Python and JavaScript are good choices.
However, I definitely believe that Codecademy's JavaScript is much more clear and so I think I'll move forward with that instead of Python, which was more confusing.
The worst thing about Codecademy (and maybe all online learning sites?) is that you are learning one topic after another and not learning yet how to use it. I know I'm just in the beginning stages, but without taking notes it is difficult to remember what does what, and how exactly the code should be written out. Of course, I could take notes but am still in the phase of trial and error and determining which code is best. I feel that I am slowly determining exactly how I want to set up my course and what to teach.
On top of this, I am looking into taking a community college course. The decision is between taking a Web Development class and a Programming Fundamentals class (which is based on C++). I believe Programming Fundamentals is more what the school expects me to teach but I think I'm more interested in Web Development. Or maybe I'll take both! (doubtful) But they are online and I think I could handle both of them.
<Let the planning continue!>
