Microsoft is sponsoring Codeland Conference again this year. Come join us in the #CodeNewbie Forem Jun 16-17 to jumpstart your learning journey into Azure & AI, and meet your peers!

We know there are a number of programming language options out there today. So if you are just getting started with code, or if you are a career-changer looking to switch into tech, what programming language do you prioritize for learning - and why?

Please do leave us your thoughts and ideas in the comments. If you are an experienced developer, do leave your feedback on what you think a new developer should focus on learning (and why). In case useful, the GitHub Octoverse Report had this graphic showing the changes in rankings of popular languages over the years.
