As you all may know, the Indian government has imposed a 21-day lockdown to protect the population from the spread of the novel Coronavirus. It is normal for people to feel anxious and trapped if they are unable to go out of their homes for such a long period. For students, it can get even more boring as they don’t need to go to schools or colleges and complete homework every day. But this is probably the best time to learn new skills as most people have abundant of free time now. The world will continue to develop the current technology and the base of most of the new technologies are programming languages. You can use your free time to learn a programming language that will impact your career in the future. Take a look at these 6 programming languages that are easy to learn and in high demand –
1. Python –
Python is one of the most user-friendly programming languages and probably the fastest growing high-level language. Python’s syntax is simple and easy to learn while being extremely versatile at the same time. Debugging in python is also incredibly fast. It can be used for scripting or as a normal object-oriented programming language for a big project.
Python is also being used for machine learning and data science because of its libraries like TensorFlow. It also has a huge job market because of the aforementioned reasons.
2. Swift –
Swift is a relatively new programming language that is developed by Apple Inc. It is based on C and Objective-C and is made for iOS and OS X development. Swift is simple and fun to work with and provides modern programming features. It does not have the constraints of the C-language and is a lot faster while being just as powerful. It is also easy to learn for beginners. It also has a big job market because of the fact that it is used to make mobile apps for the iOS platform.
3. GoLang –
Google developed their own programming language in the year 2007 and lately it has been getting more and more popular. GoLang is fast, safe and easy to work with and it is the perfect language for those who have just started coding. GoLang has an inbuilt garbage collector which helps prevent memory leaks and has strong security built-in while having a clean and easy to understand syntax. The only issue with GoLang is the fact that it is still a relatively new programming language and thus it still cannot compete with its more old and established counterparts.
4. C# –
C# (Pronounced as C-Sharp) is a programming language that is created by Microsoft. It is one of the most versatile programming languages created in the Dot NET framework. It is very fast compilation speeds, a rich library with a lot of inbuilt functions and does not require header files as the code is written inline. Also, it has a very strong memory backup and thus, prevents memory leaks. Learning this programming language can also build a strong foundation that can help a lot when you are trying to learn a new language like Java, Objective-C, etc. C# is also very popular among game developers as it is used in the Unity game engine, which is used to build most of the top games of the market.
5. JavaScript –
JavaScript is a programming language that is used to build interactive websites. It is an essential language that you must learn if you plan on becoming a front end developer. JavaScript is also used for mobile app development. JavaScript is also easy to set up and get started with. It also has a large community which is all about giving and receiving help from other developers. JavaScript is also one of the most in-demand programming languages in recent times. JavaScript will continue to grow and stay relevant in the years to come.
6. C –
C is a procedural programming language. C is the foundation of many modern programming languages and if a person learns C programming, it is possible for them to learn any modern programming language with a much greater understanding. C is very fast in terms of execution as it does not have features like garbage collection, or prevention of memory leaks and these things have to be manually taken care of by the programmer. C is also used in the programming of micro-controllers, automotive, robotics, etc. Learning C makes the programmer acquainted with theories related to computers like compiler designing, operating system design to name a few.
To conclude, today’s economy is dependent on the use and sharing of information and learning a programming language is a really valuable skill and can help a lot of people to find work. It takes time, patience and willingness to learn programming languages and this might be the best time to start. Also, learning how to program does not need any initial investment as there are a lot of free resources from where you can learn programming from the basics to the most advanced level. You can learn computer programming even as a hobby. Learning computer programming also enables you to break down day to day tasks in a simpler way and this is a skill that can help you a lot in the future.
