by Rahul Kumar Think Sharper

There are thousands of programming languages available today and choosing which programming language to pursue which will aid your career can be a difficult task.  This article highlights some of the top programming languages which are well suited for beginners.

Ø C

C is one of the most used and popular programming languages which has influenced many languages which came after it especially C++ and Objective C. Knowledge of C will make the learning of other languages easier. C gives you a deeper understanding of how a computer works. Beginners may find it difficult to grasp C in the initial stage as C takes the more complex code to perform simple tasks. However, knowledge of C will definitely help as a programmer.

Ø C++

C++ is a general purpose object-oriented programming language which was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs. C++ is based on C language and was first released in 1983. It has features of both low-level and high-level languages and bridges the gap between C and Java. It has also influenced many other languages such as C# and Java.C++ is another of the world's most popular programming languages and is still in wide use today in everything from video games to productivity software.

Ø JAVA

Java is a general purposed and higher level language which is designed in such a way so that it can be compatible with any operating system. It has similar syntax to C and C++. It is one of the most popular and practical languages but it does not give a deep understanding of computer as C language gives. Java is used to build Android apps, desktop apps, and games. According to a survey conducted, 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies use Java.It’s not going anywhere anytime soon and is used to power company websites likeNetflix.com, Amazon.com, and LinkedIn.com

Ø PYTHON

Python is one of the easiest languages as it was designed with human-readability in mind. Hence, it does not take much code to execute programs as other languages. There is also less emphasis on syntax. Python is simple and incredibly readable since closely resembles the English language. 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.

Ø JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript, not to be confused with Java is another popular language which is used to make web pages more dynamic. It's also used in other applications such as PDFs. It runs on every single platform- Mac, Windows, Android, IOS etc. It does not require a lot of effort to set up as it's built into web browsers.  JavaScript is also used to display pop- up messages or to create games with basic functionalities. Almost every website incorporates some element of JavaScript to add to the user experience, adding to the demand for JavaScript developers.

Ø HTML and CSS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language)and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)   are crucial languages for designing a web page.  HTML, which is a markup language is used to describe how your website looks and allows you to put content into a web page whereas CSS is used to format and define the layout of a page.

Ø PHP

PHP is used for web- development which can be implemented directly into HTML.  It was created by Danish-Canadian programmer RasmusLerdorf in 1994. PHP tends to be a popular language since its easy-to-use by beginners, but also offers loads of advanced features for more experienced programmers

 Ø SQL

SQL or Structured Query Language is a language which is used to communicate with the database. It is used to manage the data in apps that use RDMS (Relational Database Manage Systems). SQL is used to serve power big businesses, small businesses, hospitals, banks, universities.
