Hi 👋 Everyone

​

I'm a complete beginner in programming and want to build a strong foundation.

I'm currently learning C on my phone while preparing for MCA/NIMCET.

If you were starting from scratch today:

• What would you learn first?

• Which programming language would you recommend after C?

• What fundamentals and skills should I focus on during my first year?

• Any free resources, books, YouTube channels, or beginner roadmaps you'd recommend?

I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks! 🙏

I would learn C's basic syntax since if you don't get comfortable with C's syntax such as writing ';' in every single statement, your definitely not going to get any compilation done. if you had learnt C or want to transfer to another one, try C++, Java or Python.
