5 Easiest Coding Languages To Learn For First-Time Learners

2. Ruby

The 2nd spot on this list of the easiest coding languages to learn for the first time learners belongs to Ruby. This is the language that is much easier to learn than the previous one, because it was developed to have a syntax that is fairly simple, easy to understand for “normal people”, people who don’t have any kind of programming experience. When learning Ruby, you don’t have to learn a billion new commands, like in some other coding languages. Its developer, Yukihiro Matsumoto, designed it to be easy and practical, and he was inspired by Smalltalk, Perl and some other existing languages.

Don’t confuse Ruby on Rails with Ruby. While Ruby is a programming language, Ruby on Rails is a web application framework written in Ruby. In simple words – Ruby on Rails is a framework that makes it even easier to create websites while coding in the Ruby language.
