Today, the world is moving ahead at a faster pace with emerging technologies. And this attracts newbies to start their careers as a developer. 

But many freshers or even interns get stuck around between the choice of different programming languages to select from. This is obvious for anyone with zero knowledge about the available options or even towards a rising career. 

Here is a thing to remember for all newbies wanting to start their career as a developer. Always start with basics and build up a strong foundation on them. This is because a career without a rock-steady foundation will trouble you in the next 3 – 4 years, where you only have the option to regret it and nothing else. 

Instead of doing that, start learning with basics of programming languages like C/ C++/ C# and then with HTML alongwith Javascript, which is a gate towards the world of development.

Everything does not happen in a single day; take your time exploring career opportunities with WordPress as a theme/plugin developer, designer, back-end/front-end developer, and many other areas. 

But always self-evaluate yourself based on your skillset, interest, passion, and what goes with your current stage of experience.
