It really depends on what you want to build.

In my opinion, if you want to make-
Static Websites? Learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Dynamic Websites? Try PHP, MySQL, and the above
Simple programs? Learn Python or Java to start

Learn Python 2.7 as a beginner. Great and fun way to start, unless you want to build sites.

Why are you recommending 2.7 when the latest version is 3.6.x?

Why are you recommending 2.7 when the latest version is 3.6.x?

Because 2.7 is what is still used mostly. If you learn from 2.7, your knowledge of python will be wider. If you go for a job anywhere that requires Python, chances are, they are built on 2.7

Can always move on to 3 after learning the basics from 2.7

2.7 is being phased out with it's End of Life in 2020. By your logic people should use Windows 7 instead of Windows 10 because it still has more of the market share.

If you learn from 2.7, your knowledge of python will be wider.

That's...not even remotely true. Do you think they just removed features from 2.7 when they made 3.x?

Yes but there is no good argument to support doing so.

First of all, it is not the end of life for 2.7, they are stopping security support. Not the same thing. For another few years, 2.7 will still be the most widely used version of python.

Secondly, you may have your own methods and opinion on learning things and I may have my own. Python 3 has very limited third party module support. The differences are minor between the two. I respect your opinion and am not saying you are wrong, just saying, that starting to learn from 2.7 is a better way to learn if you want to score a good job RIGHT NOW. Or vice versa, 3 first and then differences with 2.x

a) that is the worst analogy ever lol. They are so different... starting at a lower version and then moving UP is always easier than down.
b) agreed.
c) compatibility. what if you come to an employer that uses only 2.7? or you have a lib only compatible with that platform. Or you are limited by your platform/framework to an older version?

im litteraly in the middle of this with my current company, and i wish by god i started in an older version.

OT: Choose something that interests you. Once you know one language, you know em all.

Start with php/c#/Java/python as they get results rather fast and are easy.

I have seen many of my employees face the same issue, hence I suggested start with 2.7 and work way up.

agreed, that guy just hasn't had this situatie yet. nor does he fiddle around with a lot of lower level languages i'm feeling.

In my personal opinion, you can't go wrong with scripting languages.
With that being said, the first programming course that was required by my university was Java lol. Though, the majority of non-major programming courses won't pick a language with a large syntax such as that, from my experience.
