I want to learn a coding language so that I can get a job right out of high school I'm currently 15 and a half. What should I learn and where, and where should I look for jobs with little to no experience in coding jobs? From what I've seen my top 4 coding languages to learn are C++, JavaScript, Python, and Lua.

I feel the first thing to do is find out what you want to do. Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, Dev ops, Cybersecurity, Game dev and the likes. After that you can find out their respective languages to learn.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. This won't make sense to you now, but it will one day. Coding doesn't matter; programming is the least of your problems in getting a job. Any language learned well is all that matters. They are all more or less the same. You don't get a job because of your skills in a specific language, you get a job because the person giving you the job thinks you'll stick around and not give up. That's why they all want 2+ years experience. They want to know you're in it for the long haul. The best thing you could do is pick a language -- any language -- and work on some opensource project or projects until you graduate. Find a problem people have, and solve it. I don't mean create an app, or do something huge. I mean a small issue. A library that does one thing well. Write it, publish it, and maintain it. Document it. Help people use it.

Hello, about the app part, meaning it is better to build a package or library than to build a web or mobile app?

eg. So it will build lib that maybe updates user dependencies for them and makes necessary changes to the code than to build a full-stack application. Please I'm also learning and will want your clarification on that.
