In the technical world of video conferencing and flattering emojis, if you decide to land in the divergent world of Computer Science, welcome to the ocean of possibilities and programming codes. The languages than run on 0 and 1 digitally, we all kickstart through BASIC i.e. Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. As there are human-based languages worldwide, similarly programmers use programming languages to communicate with a computer. So are you confused what to start with? Are you in dilemma about the programming languages that would help you to clear your concepts and boost to fly higher. Well, it all lies where your interest takes you although the following languages are really good to start with to make a good base :
C :
C language is one of the most basic programming language which new coder prefer to choose. C language include simple set of keywords and clean style which are good to clear various concepts like loops,call by value or call by reference and many more, which would be widely used for programming. Syntax of Java, PHP, JavaScript and many other languages is mainly based on C language .
C++ :
C++ is a general purpose programming language and widely used now a days for competitive programming. It object-oriented and generic programming features. It is superset of C language. One’s concept about data abstraction, data encapsulation, inheritance & polymorphism and overloading & overriding of functions gets cleared here.
Java :
Java is an object oriented language used widely in IT industries. It is used to create web and mobile applications. It is designed for flexibility, allowing developers to write code that would run on any machine, regardless of architecture or platform. Java is basic language for Android Application Development. Most developers pick java as their first programming language because it’s reasonably easy to learn.
Javascript :
JavaScript is widely used for web-development. The language is similar to simple English whihch makes it easier for developers to learn. It does not need any special editors or compilers, all it needs is a text editor to write code and a browser to run the code
According to a survey conducted by Stackoverflow in December 2018 it was revealed that JavaScript is the top programming language 2018, at 69.8% — for the sixth consecutive year. According to a survey(https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cp-javascript/all/all), JavaScript is used by 88% of websites .
Python :
Python is a growing programming language. Python is a very user-friendly language, easy to understand. It is also free and open-source, users can get it’s different varieties of libraries for free. One can find it in web applications, desktop apps, network servers, machine learning and many more. Now a days python is widely used in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and some of Python frameworks like Django and Turbogear are widely used for web development.
Swift :
Swift is a powerful open-source and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. It is easy, simple, expressive and fun to write. Swift combines powerful type inference and pattern matching with a modern, lightweight syntax, allowing complex ideas to be expressed in a clear and concise manner. Want to be a developer for Apple, go for it.
These are the languages which are initial steps on ladder of Computer Science. Go and get your hands on your favourite programming languages. But what after basics are clear or which language would fetch a handsome salary? For the answer, stay tuned with us for the follow-up. Till then comment down which programming language you are starting with.
