Need some advice.
A few programmers told me when I started programming that instead of learning many languages, just focus on one that I am comfortable with and try to get really good at it.
But when I look at other people's resumes or Devrant profiles, most of them have multiple languages in their skill set.
That's why I have been exploring different languages but haven't found the one yet that I think I like the best.
What should I do now? Explore more?

    Mmh we could try figuring out a direction for you.

    What do you enjoy the most when coding? Making games, webpages, analitycs, etc.

    Personnal think but, just go deep in a language you love and that do something you want to do. Programming is most logical things. Once you get the logic, others languages (75% of) will be easier to learn and use.
    Others languages you can see in devrant user s profiles came from experience! Just never surrender and be patient.

    @RazorSh4rk Thanks man. I am not sure yet. After learning C and C++ I thought that I would like web designing. But after having learnt HTML CSS and started learning JS , now I feel I might like backend. So I am thinking of learning Python or PHP and leaving frontend.

    Ok so if you want to learn a new natural language, would you try to learn 5 different languages at the same time? Spanish, German, Polish, Fench and Russian all at once? You might have a talent for learning languages but if you don't I would strongly discourage it. Instead, first focus on learning 1 language that is suitable for what you want to do. Don't become.an expert in it, just enough to code something decent. Then, learning other languages will be easier because you've already mastered common concepts. And other languages will give you different insights on problem solving. Nowadays you need to master more than 1 language if you want to get in serious business some day.

    @pal3117 oh thats easy, take a look at php, a lot of people hate it but its a really easy language. If you feel you need more power maybe look into java or python servers (jsp or spring, dont know about python)
