Comment on: How do i start my Software Developer path.

Im a software developer who has programmed in C#, python, Javascript, ruby, and elixir. I started with ruby and learned some basics. Then I went to javascript and learned some basics. I picked up how to make simple games in canvas which let me visualize what I was coding and how it was working via the browser. When I was able to build a game, I felt better with the concepts (simple games). From that I went back to ruby and continued to learn more concepts and picked up some books.

Having gone through that, I would recommend starting with a very readable language like python or ruby.

Ruby was made in 1995 and has a large community of support. Figure out irb, figure out basics of concepts like data structures including arrays, hashes etc. Move on to learning about object oriented programming via classes. You'll spend less time on bullshit with ruby and more time on learning how to program.

If and when you get proficient, you can easily pick up some C by looking at ruby's Github repository to see how the language was written, since ruby is written in C.
