I started with a big book on C++ and it almost made me quit coding
For my first project, I tried to build a simple number guessing game from a 500-page textbook. I got stuck for a week on pointers and memory errors. Then I switched to a beginner Python course on Codecademy and built the same game in an afternoon. The difference was starting with a language that lets you focus on the logic first. Has anyone else found that your first language choice makes or breaks your learning?

My buddy tried to learn with C and gave up for a year, then he tried Python and it just clicked for him.

Yeah @butler.holly, that "just clicked" feeling with Python is real, same thing happened to me after struggling with C++.
