The Advanced Placement test chose Java long ago when Java was young and exploding. Is one the best choice? Is one clearly better than the others? Or are they all equally likely to send a substantial number of students screaming into their pillows at night? Let’s examine the best reasons to learn Java, Python, or JavaScript. One is buried in every browser, one is the clean choice of the social sciences, and one is the type-rich preference of more mathematically-minded folks. Some places, like fusty Harvard, still cling to the 70’s era C, but many schools are oscillating between JavaScript, Python, and Java. In any case, it’s all about understanding which sequence of keystrokes and mouse clicks will make the computer jump through metaphorical hoops and execute virtual dances.Įvery school, MOOC, and training site needs to embrace a first language for the young Padawans. The practically minded use more grounded language to represent the logical structure of numbers and data. The people who love fantasy novels sometimes imagine that they’re learning magical spells and incantations. The best way to understand computers and bend them to our will is to learn to speak their language so they will understand our commands.
