For me, it was Python. The clean syntax and readability just made everything click. It felt natural to learn and build with. I even started experimenting with simple games early on, which eventually led to working on sites like playovoonline, where I explore unblocked games and web-based fun.
Python. Hands-Down 🙌
C# clicked but it took a while until I really started to get it. Now it's my favourite language.
After a little bootstrap with (gw)basic, Pascal was my first love. Some years later I met Python, and we are happily married since.
Ruby
Ruby for me! It just felt so natural and easy to read. And much more concise coming from Java!
JavaScript
I want to say Java but that is still a work in progress. However, I recently learned SQL and it clicked! Also if anyone else if learning SQL and wants some fun practice; I found this murder mystery SQL online game. It's a lot of fun and offers a step by step SQL code-along if needed. :)

oh thanks! I'm finding back end works better in my brain and it is harder to find classes training in those areas. Nothing against front end work but HTML/CSS doesn't light up my life LOL
Estelle, I agree! I honestly started with the backend thinking it would be a good starting point. It's a lot to learn but it is so much fun. If you are learning SQL; you should check out MySQL Workbench. It is a visual database workbench and it is pretty user friendly. Also it is free!
Are you learning Java too? If so, I have some additional resources. :)
Thanks! I'll check out MySQL I haven't start on Java/ Java script yet but I'm open to info :-) I'm really tying to find a path because if I'm gonna make a career jump I want to have a clue about direction. I don't expect to be an expert when I start but right now I feel so lost
@eeyore8 of course! It is completely normal to feel lost at first. I felt the same way(and definitely cried more than I would like to admit when first starting out). It is very overwhelming to choose your first language especially with so many strong opinions regarding each language online.
I found it easiest to Google the most common languages used in backend development then try some out. I explored languages using Codecademy and FreeCodeCamp.
Java is difficult to learn but not impossible.
HTML/CSS was my first coding experience, thanks to Livejournal. I've been learning programming since 2004.
This is totally gonna date me... but my first language was Pascal. We had a high school AP class in Pascal and I took it for the GPA boost.
