Programming Languages are artificial vocabulary used to communicate with a computer.

 It allows programmers to give executable commands or instructions to a computer in a language the computer understands.

As application development continues to grow high in demand, and more developers emerge, there’s a need for both newbies and experts to choose a programming language specific to their niche. This choice reflects the type of project the developer is working on.

However, due to the numerous numbers of languages out there, the ability to choose one can make anyone’s head spin.

To make your entrance into the tech world a breeze, we are going to discuss the top Programming Languages and their uses in no order of importance.

• JavaScript: JavaScript was originally known as LiveScript before its change of name to JavaScript in 1995 by Netscape. It is a client-side programming l that is used alongside Html and CSS. It runs inside a client browser and processes commands on a computer, not a server.

JavaScript’smost popular frameworks are Node.js, Angular, React.js, Vue and Meteor.

Though it sounds like Java, it is different from it.

Uses Web development, App development, Server application, Mobile application, Web services and Game development.

• Python: Developed in 1990 by Guido Van Rossum, Python has over the years grown to be one of the most popular languages. What makes it this popular is the ease of working with it.

The simplicity embedded in it allows anyone with no programming background to adapt to it easily. It also offers a broad collection of libraries and packages.

Its popular frameworks are Django and Flask.

Uses  Web development, Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Visualization

• Java: Java is an intermediate programming language created in 1990 by James Gosling of sun microsystems and was introduced to the public in 1995. The main aim of its creation was to add capabilities to the C++ language.

Its popular frameworks are Spring, Hibernate and Strut

Uses: Android Application, Desktop Application, Web Application, Big Data, IoT, Cloud Computing

• Swift: Swift was introduced in 2014, as a modern alternative to Objective-C. It is a multi-paradigm programming language for iOS and OS X apps. It is easier to debug and requires lesser code than objective-c. It is also fast and powerful.

Its popular frameworks are Alamofire, RxSwift, Snapkit.

Uses Deep learning, iOS Applications, IoT.

• C#: It is pronounced as C-Sharp, not C(hashtag). It is a high-level programming language with declarative, functional, object-oriented, imperative, and component-oriented principles.

Its popular frameworks are .Net and Xamarin.

Uses Game development, System programming, IoT, Real-time system, Web development.

• C++: C++ is an extension of the programming language C and comes with classes and object-oriented features. It was released in the mid-80s by Bjarne Stroustrup.

It is a general-purpose, mid-level programming language.

Its popular framework includes .Net, MFG, KDC, Qt and GNOME.

Uses Game development, Operating system, Database embedded system, Real-time systems, IoT.
