If u are interested in making career in cybersecurity then programming is required atleast u must have understanding about it. So here is a clear simple guide for you. How to Start: Step 1: Begin with Python. Use the resources available in our channel. Step 2: Learn Bash alongside your cybersecurity courses. It will help you work on Linux. Step 3: Gradually pick up web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, SQL) when starting web penetration testing topics. Step 4: Learn C/C++ once comfortable with programming basics and OS concepts. Parallel Study Approach: Learn programming with consistency Dedicate few hours daily for ur programming along with foundational cyber security courses. Don't quite any1 or any other courses for this. Now according to my personal experience related with C, i would recommend u all to follow this , If u know nothing about programming : My recommendation is  If you are in school or a school graduate, start with C as your base language. then u can move on to C++ or java. C language may seem tough, but it builds strong foundation in core programming concepts, make understanding and learning other programming languages easier, &  develop a problem solving mindset. You have time on your side, so starting with something challenging will be highly beneficial for your future. As you progress, you’ll understand why C or C++ was such an important step.  If you're in the 1st year of college, I’d recommend learning  C/C++ or JavaScript,  why C/C++ ? This will strengthen your fundamentals and build a solid base for programming understanding.  - why JavaScript? If you're looking for a time efficient, need  practical scripting language, JavaScript is highly useful, especially for web application related tasks & will ease to ace python quickly. Note : choose any programming language as urs 1st language but this is the one which builds a foundation which is unbreakable. So choose wisely.
