The 9 Most In-Demand Programming Languages of 2016.
The 9 most demanding programming
languages are given below:
1.
SQL
It’s no surprise SQL (pronounced ‘sequel’)
tops the job list since it can be found far and wide in various flavors.
Database technologies such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server power
big businesses, small businesses, hospitals, banks, universities. Indeed, just
about every computer and person with access to technology eventually touches
something SQL. For instance, all Android phones and iPhones have access to a
SQL database called SQLite and many mobile apps developed Google, Skype and
DropBox use it directly.
2. Java
The tech community recently
celebrated the 20th anniversary
of Java. It’s one of the most widely adopted programming languages, used by
some 9 million developers and running on 7 billion devices worldwide. It’s also
the programming language used to develop all native Android apps. Java’s
popularity with developers is due to the fact that the language is grounded in
readability and simplicity. Java has staying power since it has long-term
compatibility, which makes sure older applications continue to work now into
the future.
3.
JavaScript
JavaScript
– not to be confused with Java or mean stack development – is another
one of the world’s most popular and powerful programming languages, and is used
to spice up web pages by making them interactive. For example, JavaScript can
be used to add effects to web pages, display pop-up messages or to create games
with basic functionality. It’s also worth noting that JavaScript is the
scripting language of the World Wide Web and is built right into all major web
browsers including Internet Explorer, FireFox and Safari.
4. C#
Dating from 2000, C# (pronounced C-sharp) is
a relatively new programming language designed by Microsoft for a wide range of
enterprise applications that run on the .NET Framework. An evolution of C and
C++, the C# language is simple, modern, type safe and object oriented.
5. C++
C++
(pronounced C-plus-plus) is a general purpose object-oriented programming
language based on the earlier ‘C’ language. Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at
Bell Labs, C++ was first released in 1983. Stroustrup keeps an extensive list
of applications wrriten in C++.
The list includes Adobe and Microsoft applications, MongoDB databases, large
portions of Mac OS/X and is the best language to learn for performance-critical
applications such as “twitch” game development or audio/video processing.
6.
Python
Python
is a general purpose programming language that was named after the Monty Python
(so you know it’s fun to work with)! Python is simple and incredibly readable
since it closely resembles the English language. It’s a great language for
beginners, all the way up to seasoned professionals. Python recently bumped
Java as the language of choice in introductory programming languages with
eight of the top 10 computer science departments now using Python to teach
coding, as well as 27 of the top 39 schools. Because of Python’s use in the
educational realm, there are a lot of libraries created for Python related to
mathematics, physics and natural processing. PBS, NASA and Reddit use
Python for their websites.
7.
PHP
Created by Danish-Canadian
programmer Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, PHP was never actually intended to be a
new programming language. Instead, it was created to be a set of tools to help
Rasmus maintain his Personal Home Page (PHP). Today, PHP (Hypertext
Pre-Processor) is a scripting language, running on the server, which can be
used to create web pages written in HTML. PHP tends to be a popular languages
since its easy-to use by new programmers, but also offers tons of advanced
features for more experienced programmers.
8. Ruby on Rails
Like Java or the C language, Ruby is
a general purpose programming language, though it is best known for its use in
web programming, and Rails serves as a framework for the Ruby Language. Ruby on
Rails has many positive qualities including rapid development, you don’t need
as much code, and there are a wide variety of 3rd party libraries available. It’s used from
companies ranging from small start-ups to large enterprises and everything
in-between. Hulu, Twitter, Github and Living Social are using Ruby on Rails for
at least one of their web applications.
9. iOS/Swift
In 2014, Apple decided to
invent their own programming language. The result was iOS Swift – a
new programming language for iOS and OS X developers to create their next
killer app. Developers will find that many parts of Swift are familiar from
their experience of developing in C++ and Objective-C. Companies including
American Airlines, LinkedIn, and Duolingo have been quick to adopt Swift, and
we’ll see this language on the rise in the coming years.
