Programming Languages You’ll Need Next Year In this post, we will take a look at web development trends happening now and we would like to share our thoughts, observations and predictions for year 2015 and beyond. Python is an open-sourced language used for websites and mobile apps. It’s a fairly easy language for beginners because of its compact syntax, and its website holds a wealth of information and tutorials to get you started. PHP is a general purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. You can embed it directly into an HTML source document rather than an external file. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity for designing websites and mobile apps. It’s an open-source programming language that is specifically user-friendly for beginners. C is the oldest and most widely used language out there. It’s the basis for many other popular languages. It was primarily developed for system development work. C++ was originally designed to enhance the C language, so it’s a good second step. It exists on nearly every programming platform and is used for a wide range of functions including operating systems, utilities, and computer games. C# was developed by Microsoft as part of their .NET initiative. It’s a general-purpose language that combines principles of C and C++. Used for Microsoft and Windows platforms. Java is a must. It tops the popularity charts across the board because it’s so versatile. You can use Java in application development, Android development, server-side web development, and education, and it works across multiple software platforms. JavaScript: Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript is essential for animated and interactive web functions. Developed by Netscape, the basic syntax is purposefully similar to Java and C++ so there is less of a learning curve. These programming languages have won various popularity contests throughout the year. IEEE Spectrum Survey, LangPop, and Mashable all agree that Java, JavaScript, Python, and PHP are at the top of the list.
