Okay. I have heard this question several times. And due to my experience I think I can give some opinion here as a self thought software developer.
From my experience, It is a lot easier to approach software development as follows:
You start with
HTML, then
CSS,
JavaScript ( these are mostly the basics you need for Front End Development). After this you can now look at adding any of the Back End Languages. These can be a combination of the language and the framework Example:
C# and
Asp.Net,
Python and
Django,
PHP and
Laravel. This path is some what bent toward web and mobile software engineering. But with these knowledge you can easily branch out to other areas like embedded software dev, machine learning etc.
