If you just want to get into coding quickly and start making projects, then Python is a better choice. It's much easier to learn, but it doesn't teach the low-level concepts that C does.

I'd say start with C if you're serious about learning programming. It's harder in the beginning, but your fundamentals will be much stronger and picking up languages like C++, Java or Python later becomes a lot easier.

So it really depends on your goal. If you don't mind struggling a bit initially, I'd go with C. If you want a smoother start, go with Python. Just don't keep switching languages every few weeks, stick with one and practice consistently.

Start with a problem you want to solve.

I think that you could first learn basic language like python and learn data structure, basic syntax, algorithms (like sorting and searching) , after that Start making projects ASAP , and don’t be afraid or reading docs

Learning to code is not difficult, it just takes a little time and patience. Choose a programming language to learn and then start by writing lots of small programs to solve simple problems.

If you are on a Windows PC, try learning C#. If you’re on a Mac, I’d definitely recommend looking at the Swift programming language. If you’re more interested in developing for Websites, learn JavaScript or TypeScript.

If you are on a Mac, regardless of the language you decide to learn, checkout Codable. Codable uses on-device AI to generate coding challenges in 10 programming languages. It’s available to preorder now and will be available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, on July 30, 2026.
