"For those who want to get into programming."

Spoiler:

Saw this on Imgur today. To you I ask, "what are your thoughts?" Is it cool? Maybe a bit hard to follow? If you're a dev, do you agree/disagree with it?


IMHO the OP is a bit of a Python fanboy, but I have no qualm with that. I like it, different strokes for different folks. It's an unfortunate truth Java's so in-demand. I wonder why?

Yeah that emphasis on Python is a bit OTT if you ask me. I'm not quite sure I agree with the author saying to only pick up C++ if you got a mentor to guide you. Sure, I had one, but he wasn't exactly great, and I learned a lot more from reading books and watching videos.

I'm kinda surprised that there isn't an addendum on how to actually go about learning most of these languages. It's easy to say pick one and roll with it, but that's like telling a person to learn German without picking up a dictionary.

Other than that, tis a fine infographic.

Imo, this Flowchart's incomplete. It's missing the "I want to make expert programmers bow before my skillz"-path, which leads into certain doom one of these programming languages that about 99% of all programmer never even heart of. It shouldn't be too dificult to find one, considering there are about 10000 different languages to choose from.
