Programming

-By Akshata Annam

Programming languages are the most important factor in IT industry. Not a single software, website and an application can be built without a programming language.

Before developing an application, we should consider some important factors like, which what application you are going to develop? Which language takes minimum time and storage for developing an application? I am saying this because, if you choose the language which is popular and trending but it takes 6 to 12 months to develop an application. On the other side, less popular language takes 2 to 3 months to develop it, then selecting a less popular language will be a favourable choice.

I made a list of top 10 trending programming languages, according to my research and the blogs which I read.

JavaScript:

JavaScript is the most popular programming language according toSurvey of Stack overflow 2018. JavaScript allows developers to add interactive elements to their website. Nowadays it is impossible to develop a software without using JavaScript in some way. For front-end development along with HTML and CSS we need to know JavaScript.

The popular websites like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail use JavaScript to create interactive web pages.

Because JavaScript has flexible syntax, nearly works for all web browsers and user-friendly for programmers, it is popular in web developer.

2. Swift : Swift is a programming language developed by Apple Inc for development of iOS and OS X development. If you are interested Apple products and mobile app development then Swift is a good language to start. Swift has syntax like Objective-C. It makes use of safe programming patterns and provides modern features. Apple always the top most leader industry and it continues to the most profitable in mobile app development.

3. Java:

Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Java works on various types of operating systems like Windows, Mac OS and Linux and it is open source. The best feature of Java is that it is platform independent. Once you write the code, you can run it anywhere. For developing the basic application you need to learn JAVA. It is most popular in Android games and apps. The scope of the Java will always be there in the market.

4. Python:

Python is a popular programming language. It was created in 1991 by Guido van Rossum. Python has a simple syntax. The syntax is similar to the English language. Simplicity makes different from other programming languages. The syntax allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. If you are thinking to learn it, then definitely it will pay off.

5. C/C++: C and C++ are like evergreen programming languages. In all, over the globe, C and C++ are the most basic programming language in academic courses. Objective C is an assembly language. These two languages are very basic and difficult among all other languages. But if you learn the C++ with proficiency, it makes the learning of other languages easier. These languages have still demanded in IT industry. 6. PHP: The PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a web programming language that allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. This is the highly recommended language for web development. PHP is used as a backend tool in Facebook and Wikipedia. PHP is also popular because of WordPress, which makes website development accessible to large amounts. PHP is easy to learn the language which is embedded with HTML. What is really cool thing about PHP is that it is an open source language. 7. Ruby: Ruby is also known as Ruby on Rails. Ruby and Python released at the same time. But the Ruby didn’t gain that much popularity until recently. Ruby is the combination of conceptual elegance, ease of use and learning, and pragmatism. It has the combined features of Smalltalk, Python and Perl. It is the high-level and object-oriented language. Ruby is originated in Japan and recently get popular in the US and European countries. 8. Scala: Scala is a modern multi-paradigm programming language. This language is designed to express common programming patterns in a brief, elegant and safer way. It integrates the object-oriented and functional languages. Scala is compiled to run on the Java Virtual Machine. 9. C#: C# is the object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as a part of .NET for building Windows applications. It is very simple, modern and general purpose OOP language built on the foundations of C. Just as Swift is the language used for iOS applications, C# is used for windows applications. If you are interested in VR development, then you should definitely learn C#. C# is the recommended language for building 3D and 2D video games. 10. Matlab: MATLAB is developed my MathWorks. Matrix Laboratory is a fourth-generation high-level programming language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization and programming. It allows the matrix manipulations, plotting the graphs and data, interfacing the programs, calculations. It supports the languages like C, C++, Java and Fortran. MATLAB is widely used for plotting the 2D & 3D graphs, linear algebra, dealing with matrices and arrays, numerical calculations, statistics, and so on.
