There are some beautiful things about learning a programming language:
- You can create instead of just accepting what someone else gives you.
- It helps you troubleshoot problems with someone else’s applications.
- Computer languages are free, just like how no one charges you to speak English or Spanish.
The trouble is knowing where to start when learning a computer language.
