If your school is like mine, you should be able to figure out which language you'll be learning for class based on the course number you plan to register for. All things else considered equal, I'd learn that one. otherwise, i'd say the primary difficulty in programming is thinking about how to approach the problem in a way the computer is good at, and the rest is googling the correct syntax for the language you want to use. for beginners, javascript is nice because it runs in the browser and do fun stuff like manipulate web pages. python is a very nice language for learning imo. i did the 'automate the boring stuff with python' course which focuses on applications rather than esoteric 'now we build a for loop'

Qubee posted:I graduated with a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and have been working in a petrochemical plant for almost three years now. Work feels meaningless. Everything boils down to just increasing profits for shareholders. Project deadlines absolutely destroy your mental health and after all is said and done, it means nothing. I do not feel like my job has any meaningful impact. Office culture and environment feels like a remnant of the early '00s. Management doesn't seem to want to change with the times. Try the government. Not creating Shareholder Value(TM) was one of my primary motivators. Deadlines are much less serious, and the work is generally on public goods, an ME would fit well into a water utility. There you can turn the tap and see the benefit of the work you do. Clean pure water running right to your house.
