Which Programming Language To Learn First #01 | Desktop Application Programming Languages

This video is part of a series that will help you discover which programming language to learn first. The only question you should ask yourself is "What project have I always wanted to make while coding?". This is a great question because it'll keep you engaged while you're learning because at the end of learning that particular language you'll be able to build out the project you've always wanted to do!

Today's video is about how to choose your first programming language to learn if your dream project is a desktop application. I will not be teaching you how to code, but which languages you should consider.

Love your content too Thom!! This is super helpful on honing into which languages are most relevant! My skills are only very basic, and I learned it from customizing my MySpace page back in the day haha!! 😆

I´m already good with Python, is that language good for developing apps? Or would it be better if I learn another language?

Just fyi GTK does compile for Windows and MacOS.
And I would recommend tauri (rust + js) over electron, since it doesn't ship chrome every time

good think with desktop apps is that mostly the answer is simple use the language and tools made by the people who made the OS you are making the app for

Hey! just wanted to know one more thing I am thinking of making a desktop app, as you said there are two ways either by using c# and wpf or electron with html css and javascript, but I will be making web apps too in the future. So should I use electron right now or wpf now and learn html css and js later, ? Also can I use angular, react or vue framework with electron{ I don't know if this is a valid que. though XD}

Dope! Nice work sir. Got a quick question, I am very good with Python. Started with data science, but thinking of switching to desktop applications development. Please if you were in my shoes which would you choose python's tkinter or javascript's electron?
