"Instead of only relying on a tutorial, you try to build a project with a given programming language you choose." - couldn't agree more! Across the internship programmes (and even junior dev recruitment), we've seen people add tutorials and courses to their resumes, rather than projects. Needless to say, it's easier for a company to see how you work if they have something palpable to assess, so building projects in the programming language you learn also increases chances for future hires.

On another note, our vote goes to Javascript for first programming language to learn as a newbie 😉
And for those who think about being mobile developers, Javascript -> React -> React Native could be a good route for the time being (for React Native hopefuls, an intro article here ->>> around25.com/blog/an-introduction-...)
