Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,927 PointsWhat programming language or what should I learn first before I go to my Computer Science class?
Hi,
I'm enrolling at a certain university to study Computer Science for my undergraduate.
For my background, I don't really have prior experience in programming although I have used HTML when I was in high school.
What do you think is the best way to study at treehouse so that I can succeed and not get confused when I go to my Computer Science class?

On treehouse, you could go through PHP, Ruby and Python as they have the most courses you can learn from, you will surely learn good basics of the logic within computer science such as Object-Oriented programming and the main types of data.

Some other colleges around me have used Python as the starting language.
