IT- sphere is filled with millions of opportunities, be you an experienced expert or a newcomer. What is even more attractive is that the number of job opportunities rises exponentially as the salary in this field. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 21 percent growth for programming jobs from 2018 to 2028, which is more than four times the average for all occupations.

 

If you are new to programming and software development, the first thing you should consider is which programming language to learn first. There are a huge variety of coding languages that you choose based on which projects you want to work on or which jobs you want to take in the future. So, let's analyze which language suits your goals and ambitions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This programming language always tops the list of the easiest language to learn. It is because of simple syntax, integration with other programming languages, like C or C++, and an extensive library of toolkits and standards. Most experts advise starting the coding path with Python. If your level of English is high, Python will be a piece of cake to understand and master. Python is a fast, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy programming language that is being widely used to develop scalable web applications. YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, SurveyMonkey are all built-in Python. It is in high demand among employers and especially startups.

 

 

 

+ Beginner-friendly

 

+ Very easy to learn

 

+ High coding readability

 

+ Large library support

 

+ Open-source

 

+ Possibility to scale even complex applications

 

+ Good for testing and building prototypes

 

 

 

- Do not support mobile application development

 

- Slower than other languages

 

- Poor threading

 

- Almost all employers require this language when admitting a worker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages. If you want to make your website look more interactive, you definitely need to use JavaScript. Twitter, Spotify, Gmail, Facebook rely heavily on this language. It also integrates well with other programming languages, such as HTML and CSS.

 

JavaScript is a necessary component for front-end development and consumer-facing websites. But it can also be used on the server-side, if combined with Node.Js, a JavaScript-based run-time environment, to build scalable network applications. JS has a very friendly syntax and works across many browsers, newcomers definitely will not experience major problems

 

 

 

+ Highly versatile

 

+ Communicates well with other programming languages

 

+ Enriches website design

 

+ Works fast on the client-side

 

+ Simple implementation

Java has been in high demand among big corporations for years and still remains extremely popular. It is mostly used to build large scalable web applications for enterprises. They choose this language because it is very stable. Once the code is written with Java, it runs on every device and works cross-platform.

 

Java is especially good for Mobile App development, namely Android App development because it is the base of the Android operating system. It promises an excellent career boost for those who want to start programming. Although this language is of a higher level compared to python and JS, it is beginner-friendly. But be ready as it takes longer to finish a project with Java.

 

 

 

+ Extremely secure

 

+ A lot of open-source libraries

 

+ Automatic memory allocation and garbage collection

 

+ "Write once, run anywhere" type of language

 

+ Have multithreading features

 

+ Ideal for distributed computing

 

 

 

- Works much slower than other programming languages

 

- Fees on using some features
