Looking for some advice - what is the 'best' language (in your opinion) to learn if you want to career change?

I started learning a while back and I'd say I have the fundamentals down but there's a lot of room for improvement.

I'm not sure whether to pick back up and go all in, or whether to try something like and work towards front-end/web-design.

I don't work in tech, though I've always found it intriguing and I'm not sure where to commit my time. Any advice appreciated.

@elevynn Hi Michael, I can vouch for #TheOdinProject as I'm about halfway through it at the moment.

It gives you a really thorough understanding of things like Git, testing, and Object Orientated Programming than a course on a platform like Codecademy wouldn't give you.

I've had a couple of attempts at learning a language before, but TOP has really made it stick. Happy to answer questions about it if you have any.

@laces Good to hear from someone doing it themselves, I started doing a last night, but I might commit to if it gives you a more flushed out perspective.
