I'm a 16 year old programmer, need some advice.?
I would recommend you learn more. The more languages you know the better chance you are to get a job. Java is the most popular language currently. So if al the slots for Java are filled in your area you with be homeless or move back with your parents. I currently know HTML 4.01 and 5, JavaScript, CSS, Ruby, more, and learning python.
Why should I learn programming? What might be my future with that career?
I'm guessing you are interested in software development when you say you're interested in having a computer based career, as you can have a computer based career even if you're into graphics designing or 3D modelling.Anyway (keeping it within the software development) simply put, programming to computers is what water is to humans and animals. If you're interested in any kind of development on computers rather than using the applications to do your job, programming is essential. It also builds your logic and problem solving skills as you practice, like chess. With time, programming has evolved a lot. If you compare C with Ruby, you'll understand the difference. Ruby (and a lot more languages) is (are) almost like english, easy to understand and code. As we step in to the future, may be programming will get easier where control flow and logic could be verbally fed and compiled, more like Jarvis of Iron Man! While this would take more than 3 decades to achieve, which looks more like science fiction.May be, the Language of the Future would be strongly influenced by Lisp and Smalltalk targetted on JVM and/or CLR. It will be easier for Meta Programing and will be suitable for large and small applications. Also, I strongly think that it will be open source capable of both ahead of time compilation and interpretation (including the compilation of code at runtime).
Which programming language should I prefer for my B.Tech career in CSE?
If you're placed in a good college, you'll be learning at least 3 languages over the course of 4 years. Along with that, you should have a firm grip over C and Java (two of the most widely used languages, they're everywhere), python is coming up in the wield right now so you should know the basics of python as well, learn c# and/or the use of any rendering engine if you're interested in VR, html+css+php+A DBMS like MySQL or MONGODB (or any other CMS) if you're interested in becoming a full stack developer, learn and use Android Studio and XCode if you want to become an app developer. If you get good companies coming to your college for placements, you'll be asked the basic questions, so keep your fundamentals in check. However, if you end up with one of the mass recruiting companies, you'll mostly be rewriting and debugging codes and using excel or any database management system, So you might as well get proficient in excel along the way.

Some people say that JavaScript will be the future of programming. What should I do if I don't feel comfortable with the language? I come from OO background (C++, etc). What is the best to learn for my future career in programming?
It’s not the best language, it’s one of worst to be honest, just check its flawed logic:Only reason why it’s popular is that there is this ongoing trend of “everything must be a webapp” and JS is only language that can be used to write interactive webapp’s that run inside of your browser. Web browser were once used to render web documents, now they turned into little operating systems that are used to install and execute various application just as easily as typing some URL into the navigation bar. This is great from user perspective, you don’t need to install anything, you don’t need to care about compatibility with your platform etc. You just type URL and you can execute the app! It’s however horrible from machine point of view, because it’s inherently inefficient. You are basically running OS inside of OS and in that you interpret and just-in-time compile some code. It’s slow, it needs incomparably more CPU and RAM than low level alternative programs.Developers of actual operating systems are however aiming to make installation of actual applications just as easy as typing URL to web browser, through various “app stores”, this may in future slow or even eliminate this “web app” trend.Many users already prefer actual apps over web-based applications on mobile platforms that have well established “app stores” and which have hardware so slow, that you simply need to go for more efficient variant.Just ask yourself, how many people watch netflix, youtube, or use facebook on tablet or phone using web interface? And how many use the native app instead which is faster.
Should I quit programming since I started it later than my classmates and they are far ahead of me?
Assuming that you like programming, I don't think you should quit. Quit if you're hating it.Quit if you're feeling that it is not for you.Quit if you don't imagine yourself coding for a long time.Don't quit because they're a little ahead of you, that wouldn't be good for you. Here's why:The basics of programming can be hard at first and it can be a little difficult to truly understand. College helps you with that because you have professors that will help you. That's why they are ahead. But it's okay. You can still learn. Once you skip the basics, you'll all be at the same level.What you should do now is try a little harder. Ask a friend. Ask a professor. Ask on stackoverflow. Ask us on Quora, we promise we'll do our best to help you. Try codecademy - it's good for beginners. But don't give up! Programming is awesome and it would be a shame if you didn't give it another chance.
Help on choosing a career path?
Hello, like many people I'm trying to figure out my future and what college to go to/ what major, etc. Well I'm just coming here to get some insight on what I should focus on in college, because I'm not entirely sure on my career path yet. Currently I'm an upcoming sophmore in highschool, and here are some of my interests/hobbies: -Art (painting [digital and traditional,] drawing and everything else) -Animation (stopmotion and computer) -Technology (Engineering and design) -music (play some instruments) -Crafting (crochet, sewing etc.) -Science (mostly astronomy) -Writing (Really good at that but can't stay interested, haha.) -Photography and Photo manipulation *School Extracurricular activities include basketball, cross country, track, FCA, and Guitar club. My main concern is that I am a very creative person, however there isn't a high demand for any jobs revolving around creativity. Like my mother worked in house art renderings, but barely got paid anything and her company eventually died. I was talking to a professor at a university one day, and she told me that to be successful you will want to combine majors into one profession, as there should be a high demand, for example, a computer programmer that knows 3 foreign languages for international communication reasons, and has an graphic design degree. And that leads me to think i can have a high paying job that includes creativity if I were to look hard enough. So if you could give me insight on possible paths that would lead me to an well paying/enjoyable job, it would be great. Thank you!
Should I start my career as an Odoo developer? What is the futurescope?
Odoo is among one of the good ERP softwares available today. Odoo being open source and having a good amount of community makes it a desirable and fair choice for companies which don’t want to spend a lot on ERP softwares and want to move away from custom softwares or excel.I started working with Python and got a job in Python development. Odoo was one of the projects that I worked on since it is written in Python.If you do Odoo Development, I feel you would learn good amount of Python and about web app development and standards among other things. Odoo is a very well written and complex softwares (database wise) available on the web today.So, even if you don’t get a ton of job opportunities in Odoo, you would still be able to make it as a Python developer.Here is the company I work for:Sigmaway LLC ( Website: Sigmaway ) is a company that does Odoo/ERP implementations.
