how to get started with programming<|im_end|>

There are many free resources online for learning programming. 

Khan academy has a good beginner course for learning Javascript. There are also many free tutorials on youtube.

To start, you should probably pick a first language to learn. Some possible options would be
- Javascript: Javascript is the most widely used programming language today because of its use in webpages, and it is relatively beginner friendly
- Python: Python is another popular language used a lot in DataScience and Machine Learning. It also has very beginner friendly syntax that resembles like natural language
- C/C++: Most university programming courses start in C++. C++ is a very powerful and fast language, however, it is much more low level and complex than languages like python, which can make it quite difficult to learn as a first programming language

Is this helpful? Would you like me to recommend more specific resources for learning different programming languages?<|im_end|>

Both Python and JavaScript are excellent programming languages to learn for people seeking a well-paying job! They're both among the most used languages, have extensive tooling and community support, and a wide range of applications and learning resources. Python is typically seen as a more back-end language, for people interested in data analysis, machine learning and web infrastructure. And JavaScript is seen more as front-end focused, especially for building dynamic web interfaces. That said, with modern tooling they're both extremely versatile today. In many cases you can use either language to build whatever you want. 

In the end it probably comes down to personal preference, so the best alternative might be to do a few tutorials of both languages and deciding which one suits you best and motivates you the most to keep learning.<|im_end|>

How do I know which programming language I should pick to learn? I am a high school student who wants to eventually go to college for a STEM related degree<|im_end|>

There are many different programming languages that vary in their amount of syntax or complexity. When you're just starting programming you can try Python programming language. This language is easy to use and you can start learning it without knowing some more complex topics like data types (what information you can represent in your program) at the start of your journey, but allows you to inspect them after you get more confident with these concepts. It also offers a large ecosystem of external libraries, so after you grasp some basics you can learn to integrate them into your own project. You can start out by downloading python interpreter from the [official website](https://www.python.org) and exploring tutorials in the web.

Remember that learning new concept such as programming may feel very daunting at the beginng. It's very important to not be discouraged by difficulties and stay dedicated. Let me know if you need further assistance, and good luck on your journey!<|im_end|>
