Is it a good idea to learn two programming languages the same time?
I was thinking of in addition with C++ to start learn also Python. Does it make sense ?

Since you asked, I give "no" as the answer: you probably lack the skill and experience to tackle learning two programming languages from scratch at the same time. Otherwise, you would have confidently started without bothering to ask.Quote:

Try learning C++ and Java! They're very similar, although there are some major differences.
u shud better concentrate in c/c++ as they are the core languages!!!
it may help u excel in other languages too....
That depends on what you're going to do.Quote:

Learn what you want, or just learn everything for the sake of it. Helps when it comes to jobs.
Learn every language you can get your hands on. You will be more marketable.
I don't think I'd advise that to everyone though. True, we need some general purpose developers that know a bit about many different languages, but we also need some expert developers that know 1 or 2 languages extremely well.Quote:

I would recommend English grammar.
But yes, it's perfectly fine. So long as you are already familiar with programming style.
