The best programming languages to learn
The problem with Indian Engineering colleges (except for a few prestigious ones) is that all the programming classes are theoretical. The professor will just write on the board what’s written in the book without even explaining to us why. When we were students, we had so many doubt that is
’What is the difference between Java and C#?’
‘What are the other programming languages?’
‘Where are they used?’ ‘What is the market demand?’
‘What is the job market like?’
A few years back when I started my coding journey, I had the same confusion. Which is why I am writing this article, because I don’t want you to waste the initial years of your journey doing what you don’t like.
If programming is your true love, then after reading this article, you will know exactly which programming language will bring you respect, satisfaction.This blog covers the top 5 best Programming Languages which are best on that day. Analyze them based on two parameters – what is that language used for, how easy to learn it.
The programming languages that we are going to discuss here are
1. JavaScript
2. Python
3. Java
4. Swift
5. C#
1. JavaScript
JavaScript is the programming language for short, but it was going to make web pages come life. Early days, we have web Sites that sit they are but have nothing. But now web pages can react to user actions. Ask questions to the visitor, change the content on the existing HTML page, make things run on mouse click and movement.
Basically, it makes the websites dynamic. When your Facebook timeline updates display on your screen, Google suggests a search term based on a few characters we typed in the search box.
JavaScript is the Client-Side Programming language. This means developers can start coding on the browser itself without having any setup for the development environment.
Some important reasons for JavaScript is the topmost language
JSON
JavaScript is basically used for transferring data in JSON format.
Node JS
Initially, JavaScript was just client-side but now Node JS which is the JavaScript runtime environment allows you to build servers using JavaScript.
Angular JS
Which is an MVC framework developed by Google that allows creating crazy interactive web pages.
React
It is based on the JavaScript library developed by Facebook.
JavaScript is very easy to learn you may just take around 1 to 2 months only. But along with that JSON, Node JS, Angular JS, React for improving your skillset. Because, if you are all frontend developer JavaScript is enough otherwise you want to become an End-to-End JavaScript developer definitely you learn all of the above.
2. Python
Python is a very popular language in the world. Which is be around more than 25 years and is not move to go anywhere.
Even though, Python is the Scripting language. But, now it is the General purpose Programming language. This means that can be used for almost any tasks like Web Development, Game Development, Computer Vision which involves Face recognition and Object Detection, and most importantly in Data Science. Working with python is the dream because it is readable, maintainable and compatible with major platforms in systems.
Python is like air it’s everywhere but we can’t see it. Netflix recommends stuff to watch that is Python. Amazon recommends buying that at also python. Because Python is very heavy on Data Science and Machine Learning it is used by Google, YouTube and even though New York Stack Exchange.
Python is the language in terms of syntax and the basics are very easy to learn. But you use Python for a Design algorithm that solves complex problems that depend on your experience.
3. Java
Java is the most common programming language in the world, having a well-paying job and great community support. Java is so versatile that can be used to develop almost anything like Games, Android Apps, Web Apps, IoT, Cloud Computing and list goes on.
Indirectly we use Java every day when we log on Facebook, Amazon, LinkedIn, etc..,
The creation of Java fully influenced by C and C++. If you know the Oops concepts then Java is very easy to learn. You’re absolutely new to programming it may take around 3 to 6 months to learn the basics of Java. But, the good news is community support is very large in those days. As a beginner, you got a lot of help around the world through Online.
4. Swift
Which is the language used for developing Applications for Mac Os, iOS and WatchOS. The reason why it is in give the place four, it becoming one of the favorite languages for the software developers.
It is easier to read, easier to maintain. It is faster safer and requires fewer lines of the code. So if you an Apple fan and want to develop an application in the future then Swift for you.
Swift is designed to reduce the gap between the human mind and Computer operations. Which is why syntax wise swift is very simple. I think Just 3 to 4 months for enough building application with Swift.
5. C#
As we know C# is a Microsoft baby for building application on the .Net Framework. It a very powerful language. It used for different tasks like designing Web Forms, Develop web application, windows application, console application, develop games using the Unity game engine.
Coming to ease of learning, as a beginner C# is moderately easy to learn. I think 3 to 4 months enough to learn the basics. Around two years become a competitive developer. But if you are already familiar with C++ and Java then learning C# will be very easy.
As the .Net developer you can apply to Microsoft and also service-based companies like Infosys, TCS, and CTS, etc.., because of the use of C# as part of the enterprise solutions for the clients.
