What’s a programming language good to start for laymen
the freeCodeCamp curriculum starts with HTML and CSS, and then the first scripting language (as some call it, a “proper” programming language) met is JavaScript
Personally, I find Python a little more beginner friendly and “English”-like.
If you want to make websites, start with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
If you want to do computer programming I would suggest Python, especially if you have an interest in data analysis, data science, data visualization, finance, trading bots, machine learning/AI.
