Single VS Multiple Languages
Single VS Multiple Languages
I came across
many queries when it comes to the question from new developers on whether it is
better to learn multiple languages or to stick to one language.
There is no
wrong or right answer here but both ways has pros and cons.
SINGLE LANGUAGE
This should
generally be your first step by mastering a single language as this would give
you a specialty as well as make it much easier to grasp concepts of other
languages more effectively.
A single
language when given the proper attention and focus can be used to accomplish so
much and this would give you an edge on other developers in this language as
you would become the guy to refer to in queries to this language making you
somewhat of an expert in the acquired language.
It is good
to have that language to specialize in as you can help develop others in the
skills you have gained through your experience in the language.
Through this
specialization, it would be easier to get jobs and make money for opportunities
requiring this skill.
MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
This should
be implemented through time of understanding and gaining experience in a single
language.
It would
very daunting to try to undertake numerous amounts of programming languages all
at the same time which will reduce the time spent to effectively dissect a
language for a better comprehension.
Yes, it is
absolutely good to be able to have more than one language under your belt but
be cautious not to rush and overwhelm yourself. The key is to be patient and to
take it a step at a time.
The main
factor with both is that the most important attribute is quality and not
quantity and if you proceed for quantity then make sure you have your quality
in order.
