Best Programming Languages for Android App & Web Development
These are the best programming language to learn for beginners, to get a job.
1. Python
Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python is widely used for developing desktop GUI applications, websites and web applications.
It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language.
Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of its features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including by metaprogramming and metaobjects (magic methods)).
Many other paradigms are supported via extensions, including design by contract and logic programming.
2. PHP
PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
What distinguishes PHP from something like client-side JavaScript is that the code is executed on the server, generating HTML which is then sent to the client.
The client would receive the results of running that script, but would not know what the underlying code was. The best things in using PHP are that it is extremely simple for a newcomer.
3. Java
Java is a general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Java is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.
Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture. The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them.
4. JavaScript
JavaScript is the language for WEB/HTML. JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, interpreted programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. JavaScript has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions.
Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web.
JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it. All popular modern Web browsers support JavaScript with built-in interpreters.
5. Kotlin
Kotlin has been Google’s preferred language for Android app development since May 2019. Kotlin is officially supported by Google for mobile development on Android. Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference.
Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of its standard library depends on the Java Class Library, but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise. Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM).
Learning Kotlin can get you job in one of the popular apps development companies in india.
Kotlin is sponsored by JetBrains and Google through the Kotlin Foundation. Kotlin is used by Amazon Web Services, Pinterest, Coursera, Netflix, Uber, Square, Trello, Basecamp,[35] and others. Corda, a distributed ledger developed by a consortium of well-known banks (such as Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, UBS, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Société Générale), has over 90% Kotlin in its codebase.
6. Swift
Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Apple Inc. for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, Linux, and z/OS. Swift is designed to work with Apple’s Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products.
Swift is an alternative to the Objective-C language that employs modern programming-language theory concepts and strives to present a simpler syntax. During its introduction, it was described simply as “Objective-C without the C”.
Swift has features addressing some common programming errors like null pointer dereferencing and provides syntactic sugar to help avoid the pyramid of doom.
Swift supports the concept of protocol extensibility, an extensibility system that can be applied to types, structs and classes, which Apple promotes as a real change in programming paradigms they term “protocol-oriented programming”.
7. C/C++
No introduction needed. C and C++, both are one of the most famous programming languages in the world. C/C++ is a general-purpose, procedural computer programming language supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, while a static type system prevents unintended operations.
C++ has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation.
C/C++ is found useful in many other contexts, such as operating systems, as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems, with key strengths being software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, servers (e.g. e-commerce, Web search or SQL servers), and performance-critical applications (e.g. telephone switches or space probes).
While C was developed by Dennis Ritchie, C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist.
8. C#
C#, pronounced C sharp is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.
It was developed around 2000 by Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by ECMA and ISO. The C# language is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.
The language is intended for use in developing software components suitable for deployment in distributed environments and is intended to be suitable for writing applications for both hosted and embedded systems, ranging from the very large that use sophisticated operating systems, down to the very small having dedicated functions.
9. SQL
SQL or Structured Query Language is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).
It is particularly useful in handling structured data where there are relations between different entities/variables of the data.
SQL offers two main advantages over older read/write APIs like ISAM or VSAM. First, it introduced the concept of accessing many records with one single command; and second, it eliminates the need to specify how to reach a record, e.g. with or without an index.
The scope of SQL includes data query, data manipulation (insert, update and delete), data definition (schema creation and modification), and data access control.
10. GO
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson.
Go is syntactically similar to C, but with memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. The language is often referred to as “Golang” because of its domain name, golang.org, but the proper name is Go.
Go was designed to improve programming productivity in an era of multicore, networked machines and large codebases. The designers wanted to address criticism of other languages in use at Google, but keep their useful characteristics.
Some notable open-source applications written in Go include:
- Dropbox, who migrated some of their critical components from Python to Go.
- Google, for many projects, notably including download server dl.google.com.
- Netflix, for two portions of their server architecture.
- ThoughtWorks, some tools and applications for continuous delivery and instant messages (CoyIM).
- Twitch, for their IRC-based chat system (migrated from Python).
- Uber, for handling high volumes of geofence-based queries.
- Docker, a set of tools for deploying Linux containers.
- Cloudflare, for their delta-coding proxy Railgun, their distributed DNS service, as well as tools for cryptography, logging, stream processing, and accessing SPDY sites.
Happy Programming.
