C beginning of the new year, it is quite natural for each of us to start thinking about their future and career development options. Our site has for several years published an annual ranking of the most popular programming language.
As a ranking source, we turned to the popular TIOBE site, which from year to year monthly updates its index of popularity of programming language.
Note that the rated TIOBE does not reflect the quality or versatility to study the programming language, the main criterion for selection of the index is the number of searches for each specific language. That is, the more through the world’s most popular search engines (Google, Yahoo !, Baidu, Wikipedia, YouTube) is searched for a particular programming language, the higher it will be in the ranking.
So, in March 2016 the rating the most popular programming languages according to TIOBE looks like this:
- Java
- C
- C ++
- C #
- Python
- PHP
- VisualBasic.NET
- JavaScript
- Perl
- Ruby
- Delphi / Object Pascal
- Assembly
- Visual Basic
- Swift
- Objective-C
- R
- Groovy
- MATLAB
- PL / SQL
- D
Now let’s focus on the 10 most interesting, in our opinion, the programming language. Note that in our top ten, there are two languages were not included in the TOP10 TIOBE: Objective-C and SQL. First, Objective-C, is ranked in the TOP 10 only due to the fact that part of the search terms took on a new “epplovsky» Swift programming language. Second, SQL, we decided to include because of its importance, since it is thanks to him that there is an interaction of man and databases, without which it is impossible to imagine the existence of a modern website.
JAVA
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
On Language: First, note that Java – this is not the kind of coffee, and the name of the programming language, which is actively used in 90-ies of the last century. Despite the fact that this language is open, i.e. it is free to use each, currently owns and supports Oracle Corporation company. Java as a programming language designed to be used on any device, as a result of this language written for computer software, smartphones and even TVs with Smart TV technology.
Why did it teach me: Java is one of the most popular programming languages. Both large and small business is full software written in this language. Therefore, if you have an idea to create innovative programs for business, Java, quite possibly, the most appropriate for that language. The same goes for developing applications for the Android platform as Java is the main language for writing programs among developers for the operating system of Google.
Examples of programs: A large number of popular applications on the Android platform, such as Angry Birds, Temple Run and Candy Crush Saga, written in Java. The same thing applies to most of the paid software written for airlines, government and banking institutions.
C
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
About Language: A large number of people from the community of programmers believe the C language, “grandfather” of all modern programming languages. For this viewpoint, there are two reasons. First, the C language was developed in the 70s of the last century, when computers could take up entire rooms. Secondly, a large number of modern languages such as Java, C ++, and the Python, created under the influence of C. However, despite his advanced age, the language C continue to actively use, and will be a long time before the language begins to lose its popularity.
The C language uses a technique which can reduce the memory usage as much as possible.
The C language uses a technique which can reduce the memory usage as much as possible.
Why did it teach me: Most good programmers know a lot of programming languages. If you also do not want to dwell on one language, begin their study with the C language – it is a good idea. As with all things worthwhile, first learning C will be given by the majority with great difficulty. However, this should not serve as a deterrent, because after C, the consumers other modern languages such as Objective C, C ++, PHP and many others, will be given to you in learning much easier.
Examples of programs: As you’ve probably realized, C – this is a very powerful programming language. Due to its strength, C is just perfect when you need to gain full control over the generated program. That is why, most of today’s popular operating systems such as Windows, OSX and the Linux, is written in C. Almost all computerized devices, in whole or in part, use in their work language C. From microwave ovens, remote controls and calculators to database Shuttles and control mechanisms – the C language is so versatile that it is used almost everywhere.
C ++
DIFFICULTY: 5/5
On Language: In a nutshell, the C ++ is still the same the C, but with a wide range of options. While both of these languages are considered to be general purpose programming languages, C mostly used for “more understandable to machines’ design software, such as operating systems, whereas C ++ is used for higher-level applications such as accounting programs, and engines of video games.
Why did it teach me: for large projects such as the development of a web browser, create a video card driver or writing the algorithm for financial trading, C ++ language is the best option. This language has such a quality as object-oriented programming in C that is supported with great difficulty. Due to this, for some problems of C ++ is more suitable than C, since help solve the same problem in a shorter amount of time.
Examples of programs: The engines of most of today’s popular computer games such as Call of Duty, Halo and FIFA are written in C ++. Also, the large animation studios such as Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks are using C ++ to some extent in its animation software. Thanks to its reliability and speed, C ++ language is also used in the development of private high-frequency trading algorithms that allow firms to Wall Street to sell thousands of shares in a split second.
C#
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
On Language: C # was developed in the early 2000s, as a general-purpose language for products manufactured by Microsoft. C # can be used as a standard for developing applications for Windows, and for web applications on the server side. This language is part of the so-called “maykrosoftovskih» .NET family, which includes a number of other languages, which are sometimes combined with C # in the development of large projects.
Why did it teach me: If you want to create applications for Windows platform or are interested in creating a site that will work on a Windows server, while learning C # – is an excellent choice. Despite the fact that the language is not as popular as PHP or Java, C # shows the yearly increase in demand, since its inception.
Examples of programs: Since C # was developed by Microsoft to create its products, it is reasonable to assume that such a web application like Bing and MSN use this language. In addition, C # is used to write programs for smartphones running on the Windows Phone platform.
PYTHON
DIFFICULTY: 1/5
On Language: Python – This general purpose programming language, which appeared in the 90s of the last century. The main distinguishing feature of this language is its incredible readability that makes Python an ideal option for beginners. Despite its relative ease in learning, using Python, you can create quite interesting things, including web development, 3D rendering, and scientific computing.
Why do I need to teach him: You should definitely try to explore Python, if you want to easily go directly to programming. In contrast to the low-level languages like C and the Java, the study of Python, you will spend relatively less time. For this reason, many now believe the most appropriate Python programming language for beginners.
Examples of programs: Instagram, YouTube and Reddit are prime examples of what a Python. Note that as the popularity of these services, and the growing number of technologies used in them, but, despite this, Python continues to play a key role in the launch of these sites.
PHP
DIFFICULTY: 2/5
On Language: PHP – is another relative of C. It is even written using the PHP language C. As a result of the inherited power of its older ancestor. Languages like C are used for low-level design, while PHP is designed for the creation of web applications such as Facebook.
Why did it teach me: If you come up with the idea of the new site, languages like PHP are much more practical and versatile than the same C or C ++. Moreover, if you are new to programming, but want as quickly as possible to learn how to create Web applications, PHP – is without a doubt a great start.
Examples of programs: PHP is used by more than two hundred million websites around the world, which speaks for itself about its popularity. Moreover, the WordPress popular engine – which manages millions of blogs work, news portals, online stores, and much more – is written entirely in PHP.
JAVASCRIPT
DIFFICULTY: 2/5
On language: People who are just getting started with programming languages, are often unaware that between Java and JavaScript there is any difference. This language was originally called the ECMAScript, however, due to what was then the ever-increasing popularity of the Java language, JavaScript creators decided to rename their offspring, to attract as many people as possible. Note that except for the name, both languages have very little in common.
Why do I need to teach him: If you are interested in the front-end web design, then you should definitely be worth to learn JavaScript. This language is used to make interactive Web pages. Without JavaScript pages look lifeless, while with it you can literally “revive” the page by adding animation, and improving overall it (site) control via a web interface. Despite the fact that in most cases, JavaScript is used for front-end development, thanks to the proper framework like Node.js you can create and back-end application also.
Examples of programs: JavaScript is used on 88% of websites globally. When you learn the figure now working sites around the world, you will see that 88% – it is very, very much. Know if going to the web page you see a drop-down menu, the hover effects, as well as other animations – you know, here is used JavaScript.
RUBY
DIFFICULTY: 2/5
On Language: Ruby (like Python) is an easy, but at the same time very powerful programming language. Note that despite the fact that Ruby appeared at about the same time as the Python, he was not very popular until then, until it was designed by its proper framework Rails. Proper framework in computer programming means addition to the language, which can significantly the simplify and accelerate application development. Proper framework Rails led to web development is incredibly intuitive.
Why do I need to teach him: As we wrote above, Ruby is very similar to Python. At the same time, Ruby language has a style of writing code that is like not all programmers, which automatically makes it less attractive in comparison with Python. But do not be afraid too early, because as noted by one of Ruby developers, each programmer’s understanding of its special style of writing code attractiveness, so if one prefers the Python programmer Ruby language, the other vice versa may choose Ruby instead of Python.
Examples of programs: Metasploit and Twitter, two completely different applications, developed using the Ruby language. Metasploit – this is one of the most popular programs on information security, which is used by tens of thousands of individuals and private companies to protect their data. Twitter – a world famous microblogging site, which was written using Ruby and its proper framework Rails.
SQL
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
On Language: SQL – it is a special-purpose programming language. Languages for special purposes, as the name implies, are used for specific tasks, as opposed to general purpose languages that we talked about so far. SQL has been designed for ease of use with the information stored in the database.
Why did it teach me: If you want to control the information stored in databases, you should definitely learn SQL. Note that the language has many dialects, but once you become well versed in one of them, to understand and learn more you will not be difficult.
Examples of programs: Systems such as MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL are used to work with the information stored in the databases of hospital data, companies, government, and banking institutions. “Communication” between the above mentioned programs and databases takes just the same in the SQL language.
OBJECTIVE-C
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
On Language: Objective-C can be considered a C # language in the world OSX and iOS. Apple presented the Objective-C in the 80-ies of the last century, when the company was only on the way of development. C Since then, of Objective-C has become the de facto programming language in which he wrote all the software for Apple devices, including iPhone and iPod.
Why do I need to teach him: If you are interested in writing programs for the MacBook, iPhone or iPad, you necessarily have to learn Objective-C. Unlike open source languages like C, you can use the language freely without any issues right in Objective-C belong to Apple, and when working with this language you should be sure to follow the rules established by its owner.
Examples of programs: When you use any device of Apple, you know all of the applications running on it are written using Objective-C language. For example, such popular programs as the iPhone Uber, Instagram and SnapChat entirely rely on Objective-C.
And what do you think the most demanded in 2016 the programming language of the year? Leave your comments below, it will be very interesting to discuss this topic!
