As a beginner in the world of programming, it can be overwhelming to choose which programming language to start with. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know which one is the best fit for your goals and needs.

First, it's important to understand that a programming language is a set of instructions that a computer can understand and execute. These instructions can be used to create a wide variety of software applications, from simple mobile games to complex financial systems. Learning to program can open up a world of possibilities and opportunities, and is an increasingly valuable skill in today's technology-driven world.

When it comes to choosing a programming language to learn as a beginner, there are a few key factors to consider. First, it's important to choose a language that is widely used and has a strong community of developers. This will make it easier to find resources and support as you learn. Second, it's helpful to choose a language that is beginner-friendly, with a gentle learning curve and a clear and concise syntax. Finally, it's a good idea to choose a language that is versatile and can be used to build a wide variety of applications.

With these factors in mind, here are some of the top programming languages for beginners to learn:

Python: Python is widely considered to be one of the best programming languages for beginners. It has a simple and intuitive syntax, and is used in a variety of fields, from web development to scientific computing. Python is also well-supported, with a large community of developers and a wealth of online resources.
Java: Java is another popular programming language that is well-suited for beginners. It is widely used in the development of mobile and web applications, and has a similar syntax to other popular languages like C++ and C#. Java is also known for its stability and reliability, making it a good choice for building robust applications.
JavaScript: JavaScript is a must-know language for aspiring web developers. It is the primary language used for building interactive, dynamic websites, and is supported by all modern web browsers. JavaScript is also increasingly used in the development of mobile and desktop applications, thanks to frameworks like React Native and Electron.

In conclusion, there are many excellent programming languages for beginners to learn. The best language for you will depend on your goals and interests, but popular options like Python, Java, and JavaScript are all good choices to consider. No matter which language you choose, the important thing is to start learning and practicing, and to seek out resources and support from the community as you go. Good luck on your programming journey!

How I passed AZ-900 (as a 16 year old)?

Hello there! So, you are beginner starting to prepare for the Microsoft AZ-900 Exam? Are you overwhelmed by all the new concepts you have to learn about? No need for that, passing the AZ-900 Exam is actually way simpler that you might think. Heck! I passed it as a 16 year old with 955/1000 score, hopefully that's enough to motivate you. In This blog I will be guiding you in simple and concise words on how you can study and pass the exam with flying colours!

We will look at the most simple and beginner-friendly pathway to study for the exam, this includes all the resources you will be needing (I will also sprinkle in some of my personal favourites). I will give you some tips and tricks as well. Lastly, I will let you in on a little secret, The shortcut to success! (I mean dumps or past-exam-questions).

How much knowledge you need prior?

To be honest, a person who is novice in computers will be perfectly alright! AZ-900 is meant for beginners, it does not expect you to have much experience in the field. This certification is great to have under your belt. If your desire is getting your feet wet with tech and cloud, you are walking down the right path.

How much time will it take?

After cutting all the time wasted procrastinating, I spent roughly about 2-3 hours per day for 3 weeks. It really depends on factors like in how much detail are you going to study?, will you be taking your own notes?, how much computer and cloud knowledge you have prior to this?. To sum it all up, it shouldn't take you too long to clear the exam, even if you are a complete beginner.

What about the resources?

For the AZ-900 Exam, resources are abundant. The best part, it's all free! Following are some of the best study material available in my opinion:

Official Microsoft AZ-900 Learning Pathway; I think it's your best bet, It covers all the syllabus according to the exam (The great news is that it's now updated according to the new syllabus!).
Adam Marzak YouTube Channel; My personal favourite, he makes amazing and comprehensible video lectures with (cute!) visual animations which make it easy to grasp complex concepts.
John Savill YouTube Channel; Although his video lectures steer towards concepts that are somewhat unrelated to the exam and it gets a bit confusing (especially if you are a beginner), But still I think his content is very useful. He even has updated lectures according to the new syllabus.

Shortcut to success? (dumps)

By now, you probably have seen the word dumps splattered around. Dumps is another word for past-exam-questions. Let's get this straight, attempting dumps is very important! Why? Firstly, they can help you realise the areas in which you are lacking and you further solidify your knowledge in the that area. Moreover, you will get an idea of what type of questions are asked in the exam. And most importantly, majority of the questions are repeated.

Beware!

If you only rely on dumps and don’t actually study and research the concepts, your understanding won't be concrete and in actual work environments, you will show terrible lacking. Try not to fall too deep into the rabbit hole.

Where to look for dumps?

Looking for dumps is not as easy as you might think at first. Firstly, there is a plethora of shady websites begging you to pay for dumps, never do that! don't pay a penny. Moreover, irresponsible authors have stated wrong answers to questions, so make sure to do your research rather than blindly trusting them! I have had good experience with the following websites:

Examtopics.com
Free-braindumps.com (unfortunately, it's under maintenance)

Sum it all up

No need to pay a dime. All resources are widely available for free (AZ-900 Learning Path, YouTube Channels). Definitely make sure you are aware of the new changes to the syllabus. Do practice dumps, but don’t fall too deep into the rabbit hole. Make sure you have sound knowledge of the concepts!

Best of luck, I believe in you!

(Note: This is my first blog ever, it would mean a lot if you can review my performance in the comments. Thanks for reading! 😊)
