Learn more about Programming Languages

The foundational tools which we use to build software. There's lot of different languages which bring different features, paradigms and different strengths. I love programming because it affords the ability to be creative and make interesting experiences. Different programming languages are a way to express creativity and problem solving in new ways.

Over the course of a programming career you might end up picking up more than one language to get the job done because different languages make certain tasks easier. SQL for example, is really useful when querying databases and is compatible across many different ones. You might pick up JavaScript to make web apps or interactive websites. Every different language has it's use and hey can be incredibly rewarding to learn even if you never use them day-to-day, so why not learn a new one!
