Part of being a good open source citizen is contributing to the projects and programs you use and care about most—and learning how to code can be a big part of that. But with so many programming languages out there, picking the right entry point into coding can be a challenge.

That's why we want you, our readers, to share your thoughts. Should new coders start with an "old reliable" language like C, or something lighter and perhaps easier to learn, like Javascript or Python? Let us know what you think in our poll, and be sure to join the discussion in the comments section below.
