Top Programming languages for 2018




Software Development is a dynamic field. New technologies, in-demand programming language, Frameworks can emerge, rise to fame, and fade away in the course of a few years. So Developers need to constantly be learning new skills to be relevant in the market.


Here is the list of programming languages, in order from most to least in-demand.

1.Java

Java decreased in popularity by about 6,000 job postings in 2018 compared to 2017, but is still extremely well-established. Java is over 20 years old, used by millions of developers and billions of devices worldwide, and able to run on any hardware and operating system through the Java Virtual Machine. Basically, all android apps are based on Java and big Fortune companies use Java as a server-side language for backend development.


 2.Python
Python is a general-purpose programming language used for web development, scientific computing, data mining and machine learning. It is one of the easiest language to learn for amateur programmers, and is complex enough for experts. The continuous growth and demand for machine learning developers may be driving the popularity of Python.


 3.Javascript

 Javascript is used by 80% of developers and by 90% of all websites for any dynamic logic on their pages. Several front-end frameworks for Javascript such as React and Angular are gaining a lot of attention among the developers and has a huge future potential. Its popularity is only going to rise as time passes by. 


 4.C++
C++ changed very little in popularity from early 2017 to now. An extension of the old-school “C” programming language, C++ is usually used for system/application software, game development, drivers, client-server applications and embedded firmware. Many programmers find C++ complex and more difficult to learn and use than languages like Python or JavaScript, but it remains in use in many legacy systems at large enterprises.


5.C#

C# (pronounced “C sharp”) went down slightly in demand this year. C# is an object-oriented programming language from Microsoft designed to run on Microsoft’s .NET platform and to make development quicker and easier than Microsoft’s previous languages. C# 7.2 came out in November, adding several new features geared towards avoiding unnecessary copying. C#, like C++, is heavily used in video game development, so any aspiring video game developers would do well to learn both of them.


6.Php

PHP, a scripting language used on the server side, moved up to number six in the ranking over number nine last year. Most developers use PHP for web development, either to add functions that HTML can’t handle or to interact with MySQL databases.


7.Perl

Perl dropped by about 3,000 job postings and stayed in seventh place in analysis. Perl 5 and Perl 6 are both chugging along and Perl continues to be popular for system and network administrators and as a glue language.

What is Artificial Intelligence(AI) ?

-

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence can be described as any task performed by a program or a machine, that if a human carried out the same activity, we would say the human had to apply intelligence to accomplish the task. That obviously is a fairly broad definition, which is why you will sometimes see arguments whether something is truly AI or not. AI will typically demonstrate at least some of the following behaviours related to human intelligence: planning, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, knowledge representation, perception, motion. What are the uses for AI?  AI is ubiquitous today, used to recommend what you should buy next, recommends youtube video suggestions, to display relevant ads to social media users, to understand what you say to virtual assistants like Siri, google assistant, to spot spam or detect credit card fraud. The chart below will help you to understand the uses of AI in different fields. What are ...

What Are Frameworks ?

-

About Frameworks There are multiple solutions for every problem in web development. Do you develop your own solution or do you try to implement someone else’s? Or should you do a bit of both? In fact, the field of front-end web development is rife with frameworks, or code toolsets that solve commonly faced problems. Frameworks make your life easier by simplifying complex problems so you can focus on finishing your project. Simply import a framework and take advantage of your new tools! In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework provides a standard way to build and deploy applications.
