I'm interested in participating in the Lockheed Martin code quest event, but I'm pretty much a beginner—I've got no real coding experience. My friend, who's been coding in Python for about five years, suggested that I join him. So, I'm trying to figure out which programming language I should learn. The options are C#, C++, Java, and Python. I'm in 8th grade and have a desktop PC, plus I'm a fast learner. Any suggestions on the best language to dive into? Thanks a lot!

If you're collaborating with your friend, I definitely recommend picking Python since he's already fluent in it. You'll have the chance to help each other out as you learn, making it easier for both of you.
If you're interested in game development, you might also want to check out Lua, especially if you're into Roblox games. It's fun and allows for creative freedom!
While I'm not too familiar with the Lockheed Martin event, I'd say that all the languages on your list are popular. If you want versatility, learning Python and JavaScript is a good combo. Python is great for beginners, and JavaScript is super useful for web development.
That's good advice! JavaScript is something I need to look into as well.
For beginners, Python is a great choice. It's user-friendly and has a supportive community that can help you as you get started. Plus, if your friend knows it well, he can guide you through any tough spots.
Totally agree! Learning alongside someone experienced can really speed things up.
