    What’s your age? Ideally, you’ll want at least some knowledge about logic and logical operations: TRUE, FALSE, AND, OR, etc.

    Following that, “which language” might be a rather tricky question. Python and Javascript are “good starters”, but they might also “teach” you some bad habits. They’re also highly sought after if you’re looking into possible future jobs.

    Personally, I’d recommend starting with either Java or Go. Both have lots of learning material and plenty of jobs, but they should also put you in the “proper” mindset of programming.

      I don’t think boolean logic is a necessary prerequisite for coding, if you don’t know it yet it makes more sense to learn about it when you come across a programing problem where you’ll want to use it imo

      I second Java. It’s easy to get into, has a lot of materials online, and is statically typed which is great for teaching. Most people who start with Python or JS didn’t have a good grasp of variable types and often make more mistakes.
