Top 5 Programming Languages You should learn !
See what are the top programming languages to learn
Every company loves a polyglot programmer and an all-rounder who is versatile enough to write a quick script and can also write complex Java programs. In fact, it's almost mandatory for a senior developer to learn more than one language.
Interviewers are giving more attention to an engineer who has good experience with multiple languages like C++ and Java goes quite well, so is Python and Java.
1. Python
Python is one of the most taught languages in school and colleges across the world. In the USA, Python has replaced Java from many academic courses as a preferred language to start with. What will you gain by learning Python? A lot.
Python is one of that language which can be used as a scripting language as well as proper object-oriented language for a large project.
Many popular websites including Reddit are built upon Python frameworks like Django. In recent times, many large organizations are switching to the Python-based framework as well.
Python is also increasingly used for new generation technology like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. No wonder, because it has got some awesome machine learning libraries like TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, and others.
2. Java
Java is one of the most popular languages of the last two decade and rules the world of server-side application development. It also holds a sizable market share in mobile games and application development using Android and enterprise web development world.
Java was started with a simple thought of WORA, "write once run anywhere", but over the period, Java actually ran everywhere.
3. JavaScript
You can replace Java with C++ and Python to Ruby in this list but honestly, there is no replacement of JavaScript in today's world. In the last 5 years, JavaScript has totally dominated the world.
It is no more a client-side scripting language, with the framework and libraries like Node JS, Angular, and React you can use JavaScript on Server side as well for user interface development.
Some part of JavaScript's this overwhelming success goes to jQuery, which truly changed the way you use JavaScript on the client side.
As a Java programmer, working on JSP and Servlet based application I have had numerous opportunity to use both jQuery and JavaScript.
4. C Programming
You cannot be a true programmer without knowing C or C++. This is a very strong statement but I am saying this from my years of experience.
Software engineers and developers who know C/C++ are simply better than programmers who don't know C and it cannot be just a plain coincident.
It's one of that language which you must know. I learned C during my academics and learned many key programming concepts along the way e.g. structure, array, pointers, memory management etc.
5. Scala
Scala is the language which is created based on the best practices of the last 20 years. It is also a functional programming language so it offers a different paradigm than object-oriented programming, which will improve your thinking and code sense.
Though there are many functional programming languages available e.g. Haskell, I have chosen Scala because as a Java developer, I found learning Scala is easy than learning Haskell.
Someone can take that as a challenge and learn Haskell as well but for the practical purpose, I think learning Scala is more relevant for Java developers.
