Some Great Programming Languages to Learn

March 26th, 2014 by Rossy Guide

Introduction

A programming language is a set of commands, instructions, and other syntax use to create a software program. The following programming languages are commonly used in computer software units.

Java – basic information:

Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.  Java applications are typically compiled to byte code that can run on any Java virtual machine regardless of computer architecture. Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995.

C++:

C++ is one of the most popular programming language for graphical applications, such as those that run in Windows and Macintosh environments.

Objective-C:

Objective-C is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Objective-C source code program files usually have .m filename extensions, while Objective-C header files have .h extensions, the same as for C header files.

Python:

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++. It runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and has been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.

Ruby:

Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose programming language. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including functional, object-oriented, and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management.

PHP:

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. It can perform any task that any CGI program can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases.

C#:

C# is an object-oriented programming language used with XML-based Web services on the .NET platform and designed for improving productivity in the development of Web applications. C# boasts type-safety, garbage collection, simplified type declarations, versioning and scalability support, and other features that make developing solutions faster and easier, especially for COM+ and Web services.

C Language:

C is an imperative language. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.
