<![CDATA[Language recommendation]]>Im a newbie but i want to learn a language. I was going through javascript, but does anyone recommend a language for app development on ubports? Another way to state this is can i make an app just with javascript? Or what do i need learn. I saw qml is used in apps on here

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah i dont know any language ive studied a little bit of bash python and javascript but i want to focus on one to actually build something. Ill look at other peoples code, monkey see monkey do 😋

For a long time I didn't try out any app development because I am not good with c++, but then I found an app I wanted to contribute to. It was written in python and I was able to pick it up pretty quickly, I even started developing my own app with python. QML is fairly easy to get going with too.

Background logic can be almost anything but I would recommend sticking to those that have a premade build container for clickable.

Python works nicely and is quite beginner friendly.

They work fine. Most of my apps are like that. Ideally though, JavaScript is only used for UI logic and C++ for the actual app logic. C++ has its benefits like better performance.
