2 Programming
& Languages
What is Programming?

• Programming is the process of


creating software, applications, and
computer programs using
programming languages.

• A programmer writes instructions or


code to make computers perform
specific tasks.
Why are you interested in
programming?
Which language(s) are you
learning/using at the moment?
Top 6 programming languages
There are 6 programming languages that are considered to be far
above the rest at the moment.
What are these 6 languages?
Discuss in pairs/groups
To give you a detailed understanding, we are
going to look at 4 major dimensions:

1. Number of jobs.
2. Number of learning resources.
3. How many people use it at work.
4. Popularity (is the language trending up or
down?).
№6
6. С++
C++ is the fastest performing language. If you're going to
write software where every millisecond counts, then C++ is
the language you're looking for. Fun fact: most browsers
(such as Chrome, for instance) are programmed in C++.
Overall, there are only 10,000 remote C++ dev jobs on
Indeed (popular job search site). It also has the lowest use
at 24 % of developers reporting that they code in C++ on a
daily basis. But this doesn't mean that it's going to go out of
use in the near future. It just means that this language is
used for very specific low-level tasks.
The majority of web browsers are
programmed in C++

True False

5. С#
If you want to work with the Microsoft .NET framework,
you're going to need C#. You can also use C# for Unity
game development and a variety of other different things.
C# has double the amount of jobs of C++ at 20,000. There's
also some demand for this language on the freelance market
which you can take advantage of. About 30% of the
development community use it at work. The trend line for
this language is kind of flat.

The number of C# jobs is 75%


higher than C++ jobs
True False
№4
4. PHP
The language most developers hate. PHP is notorious for
being a cumbersome language
but honestly, it's not THAT bad. PHP is the traditional
language of the web. These days,
it has two big competitors, namely Python and JavaScript,
which are becoming more popular
by the day. This is the major reason why PHP is declining
in popularity. That said, this is the exact reason to learn it.
Because so many people want to program in any other
language other than PHP, there is a demand for PHP PHP is famous for its elegance
developers that you can tap into if you're a PHP expert.
True False
№3
3. Python
Many people say that Python is the best language
for beginners to learn because of its
straightforward syntax. It's also very popular for
trendy Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence. 44% of people use Python at work
which is really high - it's almost half of all
developers. Chances are, you're going to have to
learn Python at some point in your career no matter
what, so it's not a waste of time to learn it. Python’s syntax is a little
complicated.
True False
№2
2. Java
Java is the number one choice for big enterprise
projects. It has pretty good performance and can be
effective in writing large backend applications. The
main concern about Java is that some people say it
is a dying language and there are other languages
that can replace it such as Go, for example.
However, since many big companies have their
code written in Java, it is still worth learning today.
Java remains a viable
programming language.
True False
№1
1. JavaScript
No surprise there. JS is the go-to language for front-end
which runs in the browser. You can also use it on the
backend with runtimes such as Node and Deno.
Knowing JavaScript and being familiar with its
ecosystem definitely opens a huge door of opportunity
for you. Over 65% of developers use JS at work and the
market share for this language keeps growing. On top of
that, JavaScript is an extremely versatile language that
can be used to program many things: from dynamic web
pages to apps and video games. JavaScript can be used for a
wide range of projects.
True False
Discuss in pairs/groups
