Thats weird - I've been using PayPal for years with Namecheap Perhaps try loading your wallet first and then paying from your balance. (Not ideal i know, but it may work)

+1 for Namecheap - I've been using you guys for many years and across multiple businesses - I don't even consider using another registrar anymore.

On the flip side, when I hear GoDaddy used in any sentence - The hairs on the back of my neck stand up :(

Oh and pick something that interests you and make a personal project out of it, use this as your portfolio - extra credit if it solves a real world problem and you can get this across in an interview, a programmer with business sense is worth a lot more than one without ( to me anyway )

Personally I’d go with JavaScript, easy to learn ( lots of online courses ) and if you learn something like react / angular you will be pretty well sought after.

Source: I’ve been a web dev / CTO for the past 15 years and this is what I really need right now.

Your likely going to be working on webapps and not desktop apps though.

Perhaps take a look at auth0 or amazon cognitio.

Google will find you lots of usage examples in your language.
