Then what's the class C passenger vehicle license of coding that everyone needs to survive in the modern world from teenagers to grandparents? I just want to drive a sedan from point A to point B, maybe pick up a piece of furniture from Costco or a litter from soccer practice in an SUV once in a while.
Literally C/C++. Most used out there. Now if you want to do everything with it, you're in for a long ride. You can do everything on every platform with C. But learning the language is the easy part. The hard part is learning good coding pratices, which library to use and how. Only guides and practice will help you there
the basics of coding is less the language, but more the algorithms and pracices.
knowing concepts like object oriented programming is language agnostic. how you learn OOP can be done with several languages, usually most commonly with Java or Python, but it fundamentally doesnt matter for the common languages for the most part.
OK but that still doesn't help me go from "I know the difference between integers and floating point variables and how to make loops" to "Hey Mom here's a new house I bought with my stock options from my startup"
hemce, in your case, you trained for a job which is something you do to get money.
if you want to write an app, go lool up guides or classes on the type of app you want to write. not everyone takes said class because it may be irrelevant to their field of programming.
the only thing they will typically all share is basic understanding of variables and object oriented programming.
